I see a potential in this SBC for desktop computer replacements. Somebody should port Windows 10 ARM64 to Rockchip 3588.
Windows 10 ARM should happen

Same problem as on Raspberry pi
No windows drivers for ARM MALI GPU:(
Windows 10 has working GPU drivers only on Quallcomm SOCs 
Yep. Somebody should make drivers. Windows ARM would be excellent.
Windows Arm isn’t excellent even though it already exist windows 10 is now superseded by 11.
You might get a 11 port and enjoy paying for the licence of what hasn’t improved much at all from the date of that article.
Microsoft for some reason have completely botched Windows on Arm even though some Windows 11 Arm laptops are starting to turn up the reviews are less than impressive, with huge amounts of work done by big vendors to get it working.
Yes. It wouldn’t be the best. Windows on ARM kind of sucks. I’d just like it as an option. I’d also like a Retropie port for RK3588, but ARM64 retropie already exists and probably works.
It would be ok but still needs a lot of work but all the drivers we have are either Rockchip blobs or what are the excellent Mesa opensource drivers (GPU) and that puts us in a strange situation as it will be unlikely the Opensource crowd will entertain a closed source commercial platform like windows and its a maybe for Rockchip.
Windows 11 on Arm is running a lot better than previous but there is considerable work being done by vendors with the Pi being this strange effort of years for it still to be very slow and clunky but guess its prep work until maybe a Pi5 does turn up.
Windows 10 likely will not happen as it was even worse and now a platform rolling to its end as does the obsolesce cycle of windows.
Microsoft and Qualcomm exclusive partnership must be end at this year, then probably we can get something)
Do you know how much time it take to develop drivers for OS?

Besides knowing this might be mission impossible I agree! Micro$oft Windows would be dooope on Rock 5B!!
There’s almost no software for Windows ARM. Why would you run Windows on ARM anyway? There exist x86 SBCs.

That is chicken and egg problem
But windows ARM has emulation so most of the stuff just work.
btw
MS Office has ARM version
MS Visual Studio has ARM version
树莓派4b运行arm win11是一个非常好的选择，比arm win10更稳定，可兼容运行很多x86程序，完全可用于处理文字表格类的轻度办公以及应急，尤其是8g内存的版本
但相比让rock5b支持arm win11，我更希望微软可以先让edge浏览器支持arm linux
多一个选择总是好事

Go ahead and clone the Windows ARM source code and start working on it.
Oh wait…
If you’re making changes to the core OS source code to bring up a new board, you’re already doing it wrong. (And yes, that’s exactly what Rockchip did with their custom kernels. That doesn’t make it right either.)
What you need to port is actually EDK2, or another UEFI implementation. With that in place, i.e. once SBBR compliance is achieved, all that’s needed inside the OS is drivers, which shouldn’t require any core OS modifications assuming the driver model is sufficiently mature.
