    Dears, I would like to buy a new MB with M1 with the idea to switch my work windows PC.

    May point, that I am not able to find an answer to is: Can I install Windows 10 x64 predefined image (corporate full image, not fresh installation) on Apple Silicon?
    Basically, I have a bootable USB drive with the image and I need to install exactly this one, cannot install fresh ARM Windows as I won't be able to log into the domain.

    Thanks!

    Michael, hello,
    I have found the uupdump.net site where there is a possibility to download windows 10, however shortly after the installation starts I am getting the below blue screen. Do you have any ideas, as I have seen that you also used the same site to download the win 11?

    Hi Michael,
    Those are the versions I tried - Windows 10 Version 21H2 (19044.1320) arm64 and Windows 10 Version 2004 (19041.1320).

    Then I tried to download another version 21390 from https://uup.rg-adguard.net/ which seemed to do the same as uupdump. This was installed OK, but I got the "build expired" message.

    Thanks! Not that many options that I have, as IT won't insert me in the domain unless having the correct windows release that is approved by security.
    Nevertheless, your answers are much appreciated and helped me a lot!

    These instructions worked for me today on my MacBook Pro 16" to install the release version of Win 11 for ARM. I bought a Windows 10 Pro key from Microsoft online, and I activated the Win 11 installation just fine
