Windows 10: Windows 10 ARM on Raspberry Pi 4 is off to a good start

The Raspberry Pi 4 takes Pi to another level and performance is much better than prior Raspberry Pis. If you want to run Windows 10 on your Raspberry Pi, you’ve to use Windows 10 IoT Core, which has been designed for the Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets – but IoT Core spin of Microsoft’s OS is not as good as the full version of the OS.

In 2019, a group of independent developers started working on a project to bring Windows 10 to devices where Microsoft itself might have given up on. We’ve seen Windows 10 on ARM running on Lumia phones and Dutch developer also brought Windows 10 to Raspberry Pi 3.

The hack was previously limited to the Raspberry Pi 3 model, but now it’s apparently possible to run Windows 10, again the ARM version, on the Pi 4. This is achieved via an installer tool called ‘WoA Deployer’, which basically allows anyone with basic technical knowledge to put Windows 10 ARM on supported hardware.

According to developer Marcin, it’s possible to run Windows 10 on ARM Build 17134 (April 2018 Update) on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.



It’s also worth pointing out that Raspberry Pi 4 B is much faster than Pi 3, so there’s a noticeable jump in the performance of Windows 10, as pointed out by the dev.

“Technically setting truncatememory 0x40000000 with bcdedit and removing lan7800, lan9500, SerPL011 and bcmauxspi drivers should be enough. However I installed 17134 on a USB drive so I could finish OOBE on [Raspberry Pi 3) first before I could use USB drive for rpi4 boot,” the developer noted.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is powered by a new processor, the Broadcom BCM2711B0 and the new chip is based on a 28nm process. The Raspberry Pi 4 has four cores with clock speed of 1.5 GHz, and it includes Cortex A72 with 15-instruction pipeline depth, compared to 8 on Raspberry Pi 3B+.



The project is not perfect on the Pi 4 yet and it could be slow when opening certain apps. Windows 10 on ARM does x86 emulation, so you’ll be able to run desktop apps, but it’s going to be painfully slow.

If you want to try out the project, you need to have WoA Deployer, Raspberry Pi 4, USB drive, and as well as Windows 10 ARM64 image.

WoA for Pi 4 is still being explored and you’ll probably not want to try it yet given the installation process is complicated.

Windows 10 IoT failed to start on Raspberry PI 3, status : 0x000014c

Hi,

I installed Windows 10 IoT on Raspberry PI 3, through Windows 10 IoT Dashboard. when it boot first time, it worked well till the screen of wifi, but after I connected the Raspberry PI to WiFi Network, there was a gray screen, then I disconnected the Power
of raspberry PI and reconnected it again, I got a message from Windows boot Manager : Windows Filed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

I am using SD card SanDisk Ultra microSDHC UHS-1 16 GB.

any idea to solve that issue.

Thanks.

Update : I removed the SD card and plug it again, it worked fine for first time, when I restarted the device, it showed the same error.

 

Trouble seeing Raspberry Pi in Networks


I have a Raspberry Pi that is running samba to share with the Windows network. In Run, I enter \\Raspi and it comes right up with the appropriate shares. That means the samba shares are actually there, yet when I open Networks, all my computers are there except the Raspi.

To try to fix this:

1. I rebooted both the Pi and my PC
2. I double checked the samba configuration and checked it with testparm
3. I made certain the samba and pi passwords are the same
4. I found a list of PC services that need to be running and set them all to automatic

Again, all my PC's and some devices like my Roku and printer are visible, just not the Pi.

Suggestions?
