Good evening I’m new to the community and don’t know if this question has already been asked I wanted to ask a question: is it possible to install windows 11 ARM on the RADXA 5 ITX? I saw that there is a procedure for the RADXA 5 B board… I was wondering if it was possible to use the same procedure for the 5ITX. Thank you
Is it possible to install Windows 11 for ARM on Rock 5ITX?
Not worth it right now, just use BVM by Botspot (search on github)
Thank you for your suggestion I will try to use BVM. I have already tried to use KVM with a standard windows ISO image but the result was disappointing.
hello Incognito I followed the guide you suggested but I arrived at the first boot phase where the program tells me that the architecture is not correct I attach a pdf with the screenshot produced. The operating system used is the basic radxa-debian operating system. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you
abio@rock-5-itx:~$ bvm/bvm firstboot ~/win11

Windows should install 100% automatically. This will take several hours.

You’re probably using a Radxa distro and you have a mismatch of the mali gpu driver with your kernel. Install armbian?
As for the screenshot, just paste the image, pdf doesn’t show up anywhere here.
You’re right, I couldn’t insert the pdf so I copied and pasted the text of what I saw on the screen in the second post I sent. I also tried with ubuntu and so it works. Windows 11 loads even if the performance is not that great. I will also try with ARMBIAN. The solution I am looking for, however, remains to start WINDOWS 11 directly, even if it seems a rather difficult path but I am willing to gain experience. I thank you for the suggestions you gave me because they allowed me to make progress. Thanks I will also try ARMBIAN.
In my experience the performance is quite awesome. You don’t really lose any performance when running a virtual machine through kvm.
Microsoft added RK3566 and RK3588 to their list of platforms so maybe they will add more drivers (huge maybe).
Personally, I have never loved the windows environment very much because I was born with Unix and the Linux environment is more congenial to me. Unfortunately, the work environment is linked to Windows, so I try to see further ahead with solutions that can represent the future. Thanks again for the tips. I will continue the research keeping as a basis what I have achieved so far.
