Question: Windows support #101

Open brainchild0 opened 2 years ago

brainchild0 commented 2 years ago

What is the status of support for running Windows as an ARM64 guest?

Based on other discussions, it would appear that achieving a stable configuration with minimal hassle is not currently viable. What are the known obstacles and limitations, and what may be expected to change in the foreseeable future?

You can definetely use windows, but it has to be compiled for the arm processor. There is a special windows distribution for that you should use in that case. You'll find more information about this here

The question is whether the ARM64 distribution of Windows is supported as a guest. Based on discussions, it appears that some attempts have not been immediately successful.

I'm pretty much sure that if you virtualize the entire pi i.e. select the host processor, give it 2gb of ram and so on you have good chances of getting it up and running, but I'll try to build a windows vm myself later on and tell you if I faced any issues

If you are running Windows 11, you would need to modify the registry settings, either manually or through modified installation media, to disable the enforcement of a mandatory minimum of 4Gb of memory.
