Windows 11 ARM on Raspberry Pi

  • Raspberry Pi 4 Windows 11 installation and demo, achieved using materials developed by the Windows on Raspberry (WoR) project and BotSpot. And of course Microsoft. :)
    The Windows on Raspberry website is here:
    www.worproject.com/
    And Botspot’s WoR flasher page is here:
    github.com/Botspot/wor-flasher
    Microsoft’s Windows on ARM overview is here:
    docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...
    The commands to execute in a terminal, as shown in the video, are:
    git clone github.com/Botspot/wor-flasher
    and then
    ~/wor-flasher/install-wor-gui.sh
    As far as I am aware, the method for installing the ARM version of Windows 11 on a Raspberry Pi demonstrated in this video is legal, as all proprietary Windows components are downloaded straight from Microsoft's update servers using uupdump. This appears to have been confirmed by Gordon Hollingworth from Raspberry Pi here: forums.raspberrypi.com/viewto...
    Good luck! :)

    I noticed when you looked at "about system" that it indicated that only 2.92 GB of RAM was usable. Note that if you visit the UEFI menu (included with Windows on Raspberry), you can disable the option marked "Limit RAM use to 3GB".

    I had Windows 11, on my Raspberry Pi 4, 8Gb version few months ago, I did the installation from windows and was fair more complicated, I'm glad to see the installation from Linux more easy to do.
    I've been running x86 and x64 native windows programs without problems (until now no program had give me problems), I use Netflix and RUclips video streaming without delay, so I really happy with the performance.
    My initial motivation have been running Windows programs on a cheap and low energy consumption environment, I would be grateful if you can make energy consumption testing on this setup comparing with RaspberryOS or other OS.

    sometimes i get a little nervous if you don't upload at the exact time you usually do, but you're pretty rock-solid in being there on time, rock-solid in being there every sunday.
    thank you sir, i appreciate your efforts and look forward to your vids every sunday.
    you have a breadth of knowledge regarding any platform, os, etc. Thank you for expanding my mind with your knowledge.
    i believe that, in a previous video, you asked your audience what our interest is. I can only speak for myself.
    home automation, home security using only rasberry pis and whatever OPEN SOURCE that doesn't phone home software you choose (i sometimes step into my kitchen naked and i don't want the world to see my how little my puppy is).
    i know you've touched on this topic, but i would love to see a complete start-to-finish series on the matter rather than tid-bits here and there.
    i've watched vids from DIY Perks
    (ruclips.net/video/CouxmNqxO4A/видео.html)
    to Smart Home Solver
    (ruclips.net/video/A73u1S0yQoE/видео.html)
    the problem i have with the latter is that he usually uses solutions that phone home. Well, that and all his "incredible" sh*t is generally geared towards turning lights on and off. Seems there's gotta be more valuable solutions to automating one's home. Seems like there's a solution out there that doesn't report to AWS your current position in your home.
    i'd love to see you dig into the home automation realm.
    keep in mind, i run on windows and while i'm dev'ing software, i have an extra screen that i could keep track of what's going on in my house, with my house, around my house.
    i live in Florida, United States, so certainly part of that would be a system that uses whole house fans, motors that open and close windows, cues to the HVAC to turn on or off, all driven by the current heat index, the temperature in the attic, the temperature outside, et alis.
    do a series on how to implement that, i will follow along step by step, plus like every vid (i'm already subscribed with notifications on).
    p.s. I do believe you have the driest sense of humor in the history of mankind. How do you manage to generate enough saliva to swallow food? :)
    you rock hoss. :)
    ps. These brits suck: ruclips.net/video/y-E7_VHLvkE/видео.html
    you should be ashamed of your country.
    ok, ok, maybe not as much as what america's produced:

    My birthday today, so this was a very interesting video. The fact that you can run Windoze at all on a PI is quite amazing. It seems to be reasonably responsive too, considering that Windoze 11 expects much more modern PC hardware and not an ARM SBC. Great video. Thanks for posting. Not had much luck trying to run Windoze apps under WINE in various Linux distros - I wonder how this setup would work with some Windoze application installs? I have a PI4, so perhaps I will try it out just for the purposes of experimentation.

    You are such a treasure to the entire world-wide computer community, sir. This new video is very interesting and actually a quite amazing development for demonstrating the incredible power and versatility of the Raspberry Pi computing platform. Thank you so much for producing it! You might consider making one small change in your video though. A more accurate title for it would be something along the lines of "How To Ruin An Otherwise Perfectly Good Raspberry Pi Computer." Except for that one tiny cavil, I cannot find anything to criticize in your video. You didn't even annoy us with the phrase, "magic of film-making" this time. Please carry on as usual then, our Good Dr. Barnatt!

    A big thing for this kind of processor architectures (ARM and RISC-V) over x86-64 and IA-86 (which we still use for majority of computers today) is that not only it benefits for small package design, portability, and energy usage, but also in ARM-based operating systems will have their own benefits in mobile operating systems (things like idling/standby with lowest power possible, asymmetric process, and others).
    Unfortunately, majority of Windows applications were not optimized for ARM (or sluggish when running it on emulation), compared to macOS' Rosetta 2 emulation and Universal 2 binary (one app with both Intel and ARM bits). It would be grateful to see if majority of the Windows apps were fully optimized for ARM, just like the Universal 2 binary's up to.

    I recently bought a 10 year old desktop PC, pre-installed with Windows 10, to run the few Windows programs I haven't found Linux replacements for. As it has a built-in power supply and hard disk, it was cheaper than buying a Pi (even at pre chip shortage prices!), power supply and SSD. And it's faster. None of the programs I use have ARM versions, so I'd have lost out on speed even more with a Pi. Neither solution is ideal, but I think what I've done is the better option for me.

None of my Linux machines are really powerful enough to run a VM, and it complicates them. I'm currently undecided between LaserGRBL and Lightburn, that does have a Linux version.

I have just replaced a Xeon E3 server with a Pi 4 when I calculated it will cost me £150 a year in electricity compared to £10 for a Pi doing the same task.
