Can I burn Windows ISO to Pi?

gnatys27
gnatys27 over 7 years ago

Most of Pi boards are powered by Linux, I am wondering it is OK to write Windows iso to Pi.

 

Thanks

    Microsoft came up with an Windows IoT Core that can run on a Raspberry Pi but it is not a full Windows type desktop.

    You can't run regular Windows or any other "ISOs" because the Pi is using an ARM-based CPU with a completely different instruction set to that used by normal desktop/laptop Microsoft Windows which generally runs on x86/x86-64.

     

    Only images built for the Pi can be used - many of them are listed at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

    Hi,

    You can give a shot to the following repo,

    Although it is not yet fully functional it works...

    Certainly ,You need a detailed tutorial to guide you do it .

    Seeing this guide : https://www.passmoz.com/burn-iso-image-to-usb-in-3-ways.html

    With it , i have burned iSO file to a USB drive on computer ,I guess you can do it ,too.

    in short, not really windows is not compatible however there is a windows 10 like  image you can download and put on your sd card for your pi3

    you cant install windows from disks or a windows cd like on a Pc it has to be specific and targeted to be compatible with your hardware
