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

Posted by msmash on from the for-what-it-is-worth dept.

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.

  2. Does Win10 "Run" on the RasPI or does it Crawl? by mykepredko · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My biggest complaint about Win10 is really how slowly it runs on fairly low end machines (which I can load Mint or ChromeOS and they run acceptably). Note that the RasPI 3 runs ChromeOS quite as well.

    So you have Win10 executing on the RasPI, but does respond in anyway that is acceptable? This includes loading and executing apps.
