Wow, I checked but apparently the Pi 3 DOES meet the Windows 10 system requirements just barely. I wonder how fast the UI and Cortana run...
Win 10 Specs:

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit.
Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS.
Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver.
Display: 800x600
Ras Pi 3:
CPU: 4× ARM Cortex-A53, 1.2GHz.
GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV.
RAM: 1GB LPDDR2 (900 MHz)
Networking: 10/100 Ethernet, 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless.
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.1 Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy.
Storage: microSD.
- babyslothzoo 8y agoI wondered the same thing, I would expect performance to be not great
- criddell 8y agoI wonder if the server version would work better since it can be run without a GUI.
- mayniac 8y agoI couldn't think of anything more horrible than running Windows without a GUI. Why not use Linux at that point?
- wcoenen 8y agoIt's the same concept. For linux you'd use SSH which gets you to a shell for remote administration, for Windows you use powershell via the Enter-PSSession command.
- extra88 8y agoWindows Server doesn't support ARM, neither does Windows IoT Enterprise. The Nano Server install is strictly for virtualized use. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/system-requirements https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/getting-started-with-nano-server https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/...
- WorldMaker 8y agoWindows 10 IoT Core has been an option for Raspberry Pi for a while. It's a mostly headless (just the bare amount of UWP GUI support, no Win32), desktop-less SKU intended for embedded installs.

Bluetooth: Bluetooth 4.1 Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy. Storage: microSD. That's Model B, the Model B+ specs are a little bit better. But still only 1GB of RAM which I suspect to be the biggest bottleneck here. Storage also maybe but the Pi can boot from USB nowadays which might bring it to a good enough level.
- jandrese 8y agoMy first thought is that you might be able to boot Win10 with 1GB of RAM, but there won't be much of anything left for your applications. Swapping is on the slow CPU hungry SD card too. It's not going to be fun.
- Osiris 8y agoWindows 10 does have memory compression, so maybe that helps in low memory situations like this?
- watersb 8y agoI have some HP Stream 7 tablets. 1GB RAM, shipped with a full Windows tablet/desktop setup. Windows 10 runs better than Windows 8 did. Comparable to a Raspberry Pi 3, I believe.
- agumonkey 8y agobroadcom wrote directx drivers ??
- pexaizix 8y ago1 GHz on x86 != 1 GHz on ARM
- Synaesthesia 8y agoThe IPC and architecture is obviously very important.
- matthewaveryusa 8y agoInteresting -- can you elaborate a bit more?
- Narishma 8y agoEven 1Ghz on one x86 != 1Ghz on a different x86 CPU.
- floatboth 8y agoAnd of course on a different ARM CPU. Cortex-A53 is an ultra low power, tiny core. It's okay for an embedded toy, it's miserable for a real computer. You really really want at least a Cortex-A72.
- Dylan16807 8y agoIf it allows Atoms, then most arm processors should be acceptable.
- mises 8y agoI wonder if this could be done with LTSB? It's definitely better-suited to applications such as rpi (embedded etc.).
