Arm64 |work| - Tiny10

Creating Tiny10 for arm64 is not simply a matter of taking the x86 version and recompiling it. Arm64 is a fundamentally different instruction set architecture (ISA). While Windows 10 on Arm exists as a full OS from Microsoft (e.g., for the Surface Pro X), it remains a large, enterprise-oriented system. The challenge for Tiny10 arm64 is threefold:

Performance reports from the SBC (single-board computer) community are mixed. On a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 GB of RAM, Tiny10 arm64 boots in about 25 seconds and can run Notepad++, 7-Zip, and even a stripped-down version of Firefox (arm64 native). However, heavy multitasking or opening the Settings app can cause freezes. More critically, many Arm64-specific drivers (for GPIO, camera, or hardware acceleration) are missing, crippling the Pi’s potential as an IoT device. tiny10 arm64
