Windows IoT on ARM

Windows IoT on ARM brings the secure, manageable Windows platform to ARM's low-power, compact architecture. Run your resource-constrained devices on a trusted OS to further leverage ARM's power efficiency and system-on-chip integration.

Windows IoT Enterprise Now Runs on Arm Processors

Cost-effective

Power-efficient

Compact design

Support for x86 and ARM apps (+ x64 in Windows 11 IoT)

The same OS features and security as the standard Windows IoT Enterprise releases

Tailored for fixed-function devices

Ideal for Embedded Devices

ARM chips are highly energy-efficient, making them ideal for battery-powered or always-on devices. If your design is resource- or space-constrained, be sure to consider ARM with the added features of Windows IoT.

Reduce Total Cost of Ownership

Building on ARM can lower hardware and power costs without sacrificing performance. With Windows IoT Enterprise on ARM64, you can also avoid dev costs by running existing apps using the built-in emulation layer.

All-in-One

Many ARM SoCs are more than just a CPU. Often including GPU, connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for AI, and more. That means fewer chips, simpler design, and smaller boards.
