How-to: installing windows 10 arm64 (17134) on your raspberry pi 3 and 4

Which part don’t you understand?

step 6 are done after finishing step 5?

this one means we cannot use the device usb ?

No, there are no drivers at present to use the on-board ports, the best you can do at present is connect a USB hub to the USB-C input and run through that. I have my wireless keyboard/mouse dongle, ethernet adapter and SSD running though it so its possible, but less than ideal. The SSD makes a big difference but limited on the swapfile useage

do you mean use the power input? how to boot up the pi with hub ?

sorry i’m a litle bit blurred…

I have used a usb C hub with power delivery and USB ports for keyboard mouse.
There is such one USB-C port which you can use :wink:

I think a usb C hub with bootable USB 3.0 Disk make such a different speed boost or is it not compatible yet?

The new UEFI Firmware v1.7 can be download from now:

If i see changes from the rp4.sdc I see this:

Supporting > 3GB of memory.

gRaspberryPiTokenSpaceGuid.PcdRamMoreThan3GB|L"RamMoreThan3GB"|gConfigDxeFormSetGuid|0x0|0
gRaspberryPiTokenSpaceGuid.PcdRamLimitTo3GB|L"RamLimitTo3GB"|gConfigDxeFormSetGuid|0x0|1

I hope i have now more memory :slight_smile: lets try!

Get a USB-C in and USB-C out splitter/hub, and then plug into the usb ports off that

Not in isolation, you need the UEFI on the SD card, but then install your Windows 10 on the SSD

noted. i done with the installation… now boot up … does it really long in “getting ready” process ?

If you are using the SD card then yes, expect a good wait, on SSD much quicker

thank you
… appreciate ur kindness… i’m still waiting… we can install any software in this win 10 ?

It will need to be ARM compatible and meet the other hardware limitations. Its more a play area to see what you can do, don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t do what you want as its still not fully enabled and their aren’t that many Windows ARM devices out there at present driving software development

okay … thank you for your help … :grin:

Now i have doing the above steps again with the new UEFI and using a new image:
Windows 10 Insider Preview 19592.1001 (rs_prerelease) arm64

It made a huge speed boost :), but the dedicated RAM is again 1GB but with swap files 2.7GB mmm

The new UEFI hasn’t unlocked the memory for me either, the notes they published didn’t state that it would. You can see the memory in UEFI itself, 3078 Gb,so if its picking up there then its a case of seeing whether Windows can too. Not had chance to look yet, but feel free to explore and see what you can find

To have 4GB of RAM in Windows you need to run this command first. “bcdedit /store T:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bcd /deletevalue {default} truncatememory” and remember that this will make your USB ports unusable even the usb type-c port.

I have tried all of the proper commands, but it the type c port still isn’t working. I’m trying to figure out where I’m going wrong.

Can somebody please leave a .img of their SD card? That would make the beginning part of this much more simple since we’re all new to it with the Pi 4
