Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi 3

Build: 17134.1 for arm64

Note: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your Raspberry Pi. The steps listed have not been tested and may not work. **You can follow Davindra's tutorial, however this tutorial is step-by-step and may be clearer. In Davindra's tutorial, the ISO was compiled, however you don't have to compile the ISO if you use this tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0VqVm8X_zQ Note: I am not Davindra

There are two methods, however it is recommended that you follow Method 1.

Method 1 (not easy, but recommended) You may try method 2 if you want to. It is easier, but it is not recommended. Don't download "install.wim - Extract.7z". If you want to use "install.wim - Extract.7z", follow Method 2.

19. Right-click the ISO, Open With, Windows Explorer.
20. Copy the install.wim to the WinRpi folder.
21. Extract the Win10-on-64-bit-Pi3 Zip file.
22. Eject the ISO by right-clicking on it and choosing Eject.
23. Open a command prompt as administrator.
24. cd into the WinRpi folder.
25. Run the command

dism /mount-image /imagefile:install.wim /Index:1 /MountDir:m

26. Run the command

dism /image:m /add-driver /driver:system32 /recurse /forceunsigned

27. Run the command

dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:m /commit

28. Run the command

dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /applydir:<**the drive letter of the Windows partition on the SD card**>:\

29. Run the command

bcdboot <**the drive letter of the Windows partition on the SD card**>:\Windows /s <**the drive letter of the BOOT partition on the SD card**> /f UEFI

30. Run the command

bcdedit /store <**the drive letter of the BOOT partition on the SD card**>:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bcd /set {default} testsigning on

31. Run the command

bcdedit /store <**the drive letter of the BOOT partition on the SD card**>:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bcd /set {default} nointegritychecks on

32. In the WinRpi folder, copy the finish.reg file to the main folder of the Windows partition on the SD card.
33. Eject the SD card.
34. Insert the SD card into your Raspberry Pi.
35. Turn on your Raspberry Pi 3. It may take a couple of minutes (or longer) to boot.
36. When you see the error "Windows installation cannot proceed", press SHIFT+F10. The command prompt will open.
37. In the command prompt, enter

mmc

38. In mmc, click File, Add/Remove Snap-ins.
39. Double-click Computer Management.
40. Click Finish.
