Raspberry Pi is available for only a few thousand yen, and it is popular as hardware that can make various gadgets and IoT cheaply and easily. Basically, Raspberry Pi installs the dedicated OS " Raspbian " on the SD card, but besides Raspbian, there are also Debian Linux-based " Moebius ", game emulator specialized " RetroPie ", smart home hub specialized There are OS such as " OSMC ".

There is also " Windows 10 IoT Core " which is Windows 10 optimized for Raspberry Pi. However, Windows 10 IoT Core is a simplified specification, it is assumed to be introduced by developers, and it was difficult to use for general consumers such as beginners who just started handling Raspberry Pi.

However, in 2010, ARM version of Windows 10 was announced by Microsoft, and the "WoA project" launched based on GitHub based on it, making it possible for anyone to easily install Windows 10 of 64 bit ARM version to Raspberry Pi 3 . José Manuel Nieto participating in the project created a "WoA Installer" that makes it easy to install 64-bit ARM version of Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi 3.

The WoA Installer is designed very simply, and there is no need to set drivers, UEFI, etc. Although WoA Installer is merely a tool to support deployment, users get images of 64-bit ARM version of Windows 10 from Microsoft's server, download the core package which is a binary set, run the installer OK It seems to be getting.

WoA Installer and core package are distributed with GitHub.
