In the early days, it was always troublesome to install Windows on the Raspberry Pi. It required downloading the system image, burning, and a series of complicated configurations.
Foreign Raspberry Pi enthusiasts wrote a script - WoR-flasher, which can automate all the above operations, and also has a graphical interface, and there is no need to worry about Microsoft license issues. This script is completely legal! (Of course it can also be used to install Windows 10)
Install WoR-flashher
Automatic installation
The fastest way to get WoR-flasher running on your RPi is to use the Raspberry Pi's Pi-Apps app store.
Installing WoR-flasher from Pi-Apps has several benefits:
A new button will be automatically created in the start menu
Support one-click uninstall
Convenient one-click update
Download method
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Botspot/pi-apps/master/install | bashNote: Compatible with both Raspberry Pi operating system and most other Debian-based ARM operating systems, such as Twister OS, MX Linux, Kali Linux and Ubuntu.
GitHub address: https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps
Manual installation
Of course, you can also install it manually by typing in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/Botspot/wor-flasherAfter running this, you will see a wor-flasherdirectory named,
About dependencies
Running this script will automatically install these packages:yad aria2 cabextract wimtools chntpw genisoimage exfat-fuse exfat-utils wget
Then start the script in the terminal:
~/wor-flasher/install-wor-gui.shA graphical interface will pop up, and you can start the fool-proof installation.
Officially start the installation (graphical)
The first step is to choose whether you want to install Win11 or Win10, and then select the Raspberry Pi model (Pi4 is recommended).
The second step is to select the language to be used by the operating system.
The third step is to insert a memory card that can read and write at least 8GB (25GB or more is best).
If the memory card is larger than 25GB, you can install it yourself;
If the memory card is smaller than 25GB but larger than 7GB, it can only install Windows on other drives larger than 16GB;
If the memory card is smaller than 7GB, it will not be installed.
The fourth step is to check the default configuration. If there are other needs, you can add some yourself. Check again. After confirming that it is correct, click "Flash".
The terminal starts to officially run install-wor.shthe script:
This step is more time-consuming and involves downloading the installation package from Microsoft, compressing it, and generating the image (if you have used other faster/unofficial methods to obtain the ISO file, you can skip the time-consuming step of image generation here. )
The author also declares here: This script is completely legal, and there is no need to worry about the fact that Microsoft only sells ARM version Windows licenses to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).
Someone took it to communicate with several employees at Microsoft, and they had no objections.
Microsoft's update server is publicly accessible and is as legal as downloading the x86 Windows ISO directly from the official website.
In addition, Microsoft has always known about the existence of UUPdump, but has never held it responsible.
So don't worry about whether this installation is legal.
If everything is normal, the terminal will automatically close and this interface will pop up:
Follow the prompts to insert the burned memory card into the Raspberry Pi, and the script will continue to automatically help you install the Windows system and restart it - everything is done (the installation takes about 30 minutes).
The only thing required is to take the time and wait patiently.
In addition, there is good news. I don’t know if you have noticed it. Windows 11 introduces an “emulation compatible” interface (ABI) called “ARM64EC”, which is a way to build applications on ARM devices equipped with Windows 11 system. new method.
In this case, 64-bit exe programs can be run on the Raspberry Pi.
Okay, let’s go and try it.
