    Run Windows on a Raspberry Pi 4

    YOU’LL NEED THIS

    RASPBERRY PI 4

    We used the 8GB model. You also need an 8GB or greater microSD card, a wired Internet connection, and infinite patience.

    THIS IS IT, the real deal. No tricks involving VPNs or virtualization. This is the ARM port of Windows 10 running natively on a Raspberry Pi 4. Slowly. Best of all, it kinda works. Even with an overclocked Pi, however, it’s slow, bringing back memories of running Windows 7 on an Atom-powered netbook. It’s not unusable, but it does come with problems. The main one is that the Pi’s Wi-Fi doesn’t work, so you need a compatible USB adapter or an Ethernet connection. It can be very crashy when you connect to the Internet, unless you follow our genius tip below.

    So, you’ve got a wobbly OS on which you can only install a limited number of apps.
