Winaero also said that it can be used to install from scratch, so it looks like there are some devices that can actually use that ISO It can also be used to install on a Raspberry Pi 3, Pi 4, or a Lumia 950 XL If you don't have Hyper-V you can run it on Qemu. Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, build 19559 or newer.A Windows 10 ARM-based PC with a Microsoft SQ1, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx, or Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 processor.Creating ARM64 VMs is not supported on 圆4 hardware. With Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview builds, you can create 64-bit ARM (ARM64) VMs in Hyper-V on Windows 10 ARM-based PCs. Microsoft provides ARM VHDX files so I guess the ISO files can also be used for ARM virtual machines I do not expect I can install such ISO on my Android TV box which has an ARM64 processor.Īs Windows for ARM is pretty new, I do not have much information. So I do not see any purpose of a "universal" ISO like what we use on x86 PCs. Flashing an image of a device to a different device will result in a brick, even if they have the same CPU/chipset. Not to mention that ARM boards always have different logical hardware layout and require a specialized ROM image for each. I think they will likely have a separate ROM partition for "factory reset" function, so an installation disc is never needed. But such devices always come with Windows 10 pre-installed and do not need the installation discs.

From what I've read, there are actually some, mostly laptops and tablet hybrids. Let's put legal issues aside, I am curious about the purpose of such ISOs.Īs of now (the end of 2020), AArch64 based Windows devices are nowhere to be found, in my region at least. I've seen some Russian putting official Microsoft's Windows for AArch64 ISOs online for download since Windows 10 version 2004.
