Connect an external monitor to the Raspberry Pi to view the result. Antonio Lamorgese. The developers finally installed the ARM-optimized version of Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 4, after some people managed to get it to work on the Raspberry Pi 3 in the first half of as well. Nieto Sanchez is quick to point out that ” these binaries are not not mine [emphasis his] and are bundled and offered just for convenience to make your life easier, since this tool is focused on simplicity. Microsoft is bringing one of the new Windows 11 features to….
 
 

 

– Windows 10 raspberry pi 3

 
Logically we are talking about an intensive use of the operating system, it is worth remembering that the applications that we will run on Raspberry must be low impact applications for the operating system. Essentially it lets you use Windows technologies to build connected devices based on low-cost computing solutions such as the Raspberry Pi. Connect an external monitor to the Raspberry Pi to view the result. Well a little more patience and we are almost done. To successfully conclude the procedure, there must be an internet connection for the entire ISO installation phase.

There is a huge difference between the Iot version of windows and a version compiled for ARM, but we see some differences between these two versions. The IoT allows you to run a single UWP app at a time, and the real purpose of the operating system on the Raspberryi is to run small applications, designed for tiny computer boards.

This means that by installing an ARM version of windows on Raspberry, you will be able to run any type of application that normally runs on traditional 32 and 64 bit versions of windows. Before proceeding with the installation of the operating system, we must obtain everything necessary to continue. Then you will find listed below all the software needed to install Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi4 and 3.

If you are using windows on your pc, run the one with the cmd extension. This software will allow you to install the previously downloaded Build on the MicroSD that you will insert into the Raspberry. After downloading these files, you need to carefully follow the technical steps that I will now give you. In the sources folder, there is a file: install. As a first step you have to mount the ISO, the operation is very simple click with the right mouse button on the ISO and select the mount context menu item.

In the explorer you will find another device with all the ISO files mounted, just as if you were reading the contents of a DVD from the optical drive. Well a little more patience and we are almost done. The time has come to specify the updated firmware appropriate to the type of Raspberry in your possession. To successfully conclude the procedure, there must be an internet connection for the entire ISO installation phase.

At the end of the entire installation procedure and only after the display of the message, which will indicate the correct transfer of the operating system to MicroSD, you can disconnect the MicroSD from the PC and insert it into the Raspberry.

Connect the keyboard, mouse, monitor and power supply to the Raspberry and wait for the BIOS to load. Another very useful advice is to try to overclock the Raspberry, selecting the max item in correspondence with what is indicated on the RPI Configuration page. At this point, exit the BIOS and click on the continue link, present on the BIOS home page, and wait for the correct start of the windows 10 installation phase.

Once your SD card is ready, ignore any formatting prompts from Windows and safely remove the card from its socket. It is fantastic to see Windows 10 running on a Raspberry Pi! Please note that the device may restart several times as part of its first boot, causing inconsistencies in the list. If no device appears after five minutes, consider checking that you are connected to the same network as the device or connect to it directly using an ethernet cable instead.

Once we have successfully found our device on the network, we can begin to test its operation using some sample code. Typically, we would develop our Windows apps in Visual Studio but the dashboard also provides a range of precompiled sample code to save us some time. Visual studio is typically at the centre of the Microsoft software environment and will become familiar when developing Windows apps.

It is a very flexible platform that supports many languages using a uniform code structure. Microsoft also supports the use of its MakeCode visual language for IoT Core programming, a Scratch alternative that can be used with Microbit and Minecraft.

In a future article, we will attempt to connect our new Windows 10 IoT Core device to the cloud and take a first look at using Microsoft Azure cloud services to create our own IoT infrastructure project.
