I really wish Microsoft would release a version of Windows 10 (the full version, not IoT) for the Pi 4 so developers could easily test their apps on an actual ARM device. Being able ship a Raspberry Pi 4 preloaded with Windows 10 to developers could bring a huge boost in the number of apps that support Windows on ARM.

Isn't https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/tutorials/rpi https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/tutorials/... IOT-Core for that purpose, or am I missing it?

  OP is asking for full version not just IOT-Core

  It works only on Rpi 2, not on 3 or 4 (There is unofficial version running on 3)

Someone managed to get it running recently (video is 2 days old): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is6qQujk6uU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is6qQujk6uU I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft was also silently working on it.

  It's been booted as early as January. https://rpi4-uefi.dev/win10-arm64-on-pi-4b/ https://rpi4-uefi.dev/win10-arm64-on-pi-4b/ is a decent text guide for the pi 4. https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 provides the UEFI implementation. The lack of suitable USB driver for the USB A ports is the main holdup to any reasonably usable setup (with varying workarounds which each have their own limitations) followed by the GPU driver - neither are easily fixed unfortunately.

What sort of applications do you find the Pi to be lacking? The Pi has been a gateway drug for Ubuntu and CLI applications for me and it hadn't crossed my mind that this could go the other way.

  I think the previous poster wasn't writing about applications lacking on the Pi but about having ARM developer devices for Windows 10 developers at a low cost.

    Yeah for example the Surface Pro X. It seems to be an amazing device but it needs a bit more software.
