From now on, you can download an ISO file of Windows 11 that is compatible with ARM-based computers. This will make it much easier to install the OS on compatible ARM systems.
Microsoft now allows users to download an ARM-compatible image installation file for Windows 11. Such ISO files have long been available for all the various x86-based editions of Windows. Armed with an ISO, you can install Windows on a computer without having to already have an operating system on it.

For ARM-based systems, the option did not exist until now. Through this Microsoft website, you can get a multi-edition ISO of Windows 11 for ARM64. With the ISO, you can create a boot media such as a DVD or a USB stick. You can also use the file to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine running on ARM.
The ISO is compatible with all ARM 64-bit processors. In some cases, it may be necessary to add drivers from the manufacturer to ensure startup. In this case, the ISO is especially relevant for virtual machines and for Windows laptops launched this year with Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip under the hood.
