It’s something almost every Raspberry Pi fan has asked at one time or another: Can it run Windows? Microsoft offers an official build of Windows 10 IoT for the Raspberry Pi, but that OS is just for building maker projects and doesn’t have the ability to run regular apps or the traditional Windows GUI (graphical user interface). However, there’s a way to make a Raspberry Pi 3 / 3B / 3B+ boot into a full version of Windows 10 Professional that can even run win32 apps. Read more here.

I'm sure it was money related but if The Raspberry Pi Foundation doubled the ram to 2 gigabytes they would meet the minimum requirements for Windows 7 and Windows 10.

What's the smallest ram footprint WIndows 10 can be taken down to?

Hi. Does someone successfully install Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+?

I followed:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/install-windows-10-on-raspberry-pi,5993.html

Because WOA deployer increase into rev 2.0.0 there is no need to manual injecting a LAN drivers. So my steps was:

1. 32GB Class 10 card format.

2. Download: Windows10 ARM 1809:

3. Generated ISO mount

4. Download and run WOA:
https://github.com/WOA-Project/WOA-Deployer-Rpi/releases/tag/v2.0.0

5. Browse: install.wim, perform: deploy

6. BIOS-a configured: follow https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/install-windows-10-on-raspberry-pi,5993.html


Everything should works but on a Raspberry Pi I stucked ona a blue dead screen showing something worng with UEFI. But why? I just configured RPi BIOS to boot from SD. Even I select this option from boot manager during boot.

Someone is able to help me?

Thanks! :)
