Windows on ARM
Windows 11 ARM first-party engine — ships, needs you, experimental label why।
Windows 1VM engine first-party Hypervisor.framework VMM। New Windows default, download nothing work।
Experimental, word real work — honest state below।

Ships
- HVF vCPUs, in-kernel GICv3 GICv2m MSI, PSCI, ACPI tables (MADT, GTDT, MCFG, IORT, FADT, DSDT, DBG2) configured hardware match
- NVMe system disk scoped xHCI USB — keyboard tablet mouse installer — Windows in-box drivers
- TPM 2.0, Virtualization.framework fallback no expose
- ramfb, Setup visible no display driver
- Unattended prepared media
- virtio-net NetKVM installed
- Loopback TCP UDP port forwarding first-party NAT
You provide
- Windows 11 ARM64 ISO licensed obtained। App never download mirror activate Windows media।
- virtio-win ISO — Red Hat free — driver ISO attached। Networking depends।
Unattended admin user no password। Set after first logon.
Not work
- DirectX 3D compute. Scanout accelerated, GPU नहीं।
- Multiple display. Single head console।
- x86 Windows. ISO ARM64।
Honest state
Tier N3: install desktop boot। N4 gates — clean install full stop cold NVMe reboot reset loops 24h soak — not passed। Treat accordingly.
Fallback engine
Virtualization.framework Windows worse: no TPM, Setup black viogpudo binds। Fallback not recommendation.
