Tiny10 Arm64 -

Unlike x86 PCs, ARM64 devices don't have a unified boot standard. A Tiny10 image that boots on a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 laptop may fail on a Raspberry Pi due to missing UEFI firmware, different interrupt controllers, or GPU drivers (Adreno vs. Broadcom VideoCore).

As of now, NTDev has released experimental versions of Tiny10 for arm64, but they remain far less mature than the x86 counterpart. These builds typically target the Raspberry Pi 4 (using the WoA64 installer by WOR Project) or generic QEMU virtual machines. Key characteristics include:

Performance reports from the SBC (single-board computer) community are mixed. On a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 GB of RAM, Tiny10 arm64 boots in about 25 seconds and can run Notepad++, 7-Zip, and even a stripped-down version of Firefox (arm64 native). However, heavy multitasking or opening the Settings app can cause freezes. More critically, many Arm64-specific drivers (for GPIO, camera, or hardware acceleration) are missing, crippling the Pi’s potential as an IoT device. tiny10 arm64

Manual cleanup (command line):

dism /image:C:\mount /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~arm64~~10.0.22621.1

(Repeat for Cortana, Xbox, MixedReality)

Add Drivers (critical for ARM): For Pi: inject the WoA device tree blobs. For Surface: inject Surface ARM drivers.

Commit and unmount:

dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C:\mount /commit

Create ISO using oscdimg from ADK.

Warning: This is an advanced, 4-5 hour process. One wrong removal on ARM64 can cause a boot loop. Always test in a VM first.

If you downloaded an ISO labeled tiny10_arm64.iso:

| Test | Safe result | Dangerous result | |------|-------------|------------------| | SHA-256 | Compare with NTDev’s official (none for ARM64) | No match or unknown source | | File size | ~3–4 GB (normal ARM64 Win11) | Under 2 GB (likely broken) | | Contains install.wim or install.esd? | Must be >2 GB | Tiny file = fake | | Runs winver | Shows Windows 11 ARM64 | Shows “tiny10” but ARM64 – impossible | Since official tiny10 arm64 isn’t available

If it asks for a product key during install, it’s just normal Windows.
