You Can Now Run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3 (tomshardware.com)

Raspberry Pi is finally ready for the full Windows 10 experience. From a report: A new installer lets you put Windows 10 on Arm, including the Pi. And it's made by the same people who got Windows 10 on Arm onto Lumia 950 and 950 XL handset. You can find the Github page here, in which developer Jose Manuel Nieto Sanchez call the tool "super easy to use" and "no-hassle." It requires a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or B+, a microSD card (he recommends an A1 rating) and a Windows 10ARM64 image, which is linked to from the page where you get the download instructions.

Windows also runs a lot of software that is Windows/Mac only. Visual Studio, Adobe products, Autodesk products. Then there are games (and game dev toolkits). There are also numerous internal apps.

True, but hardly any of that is compiled for ARM processors.

Yes, it might run under an x86 emulator, but would you really want to? It's already going to be incredibly slow because it runs off an SD card, adding emulation as an extra layer would be borderline masochistic.

This might be useful if you want a familiar Windows user interface while surfing the web but not much more.
