Installing windows 10 iot on raspberry pi 3 keygen#
Choose “Use entire disk”, and at the next screen let VMWare use whatever file name you like. Be super careful to get the right one, or you’ll be giving direct access to a different drive, which will very likely get screwed up.
Select “Use a Physical Disk” and choose the device with the DeviceID that you just noted down. I chose SCSI and unselected “Independent Mode”. In VMWare, power off the Windows 10 VM (which has to be build > 10069 by the way), then in VMWare settings for that machine, add a new hard disk. Next, open a command prompt on the host machine, and type “wmic diskdrive list brief” to list the installed drives, and remember the DeviceID for the SD card. You need to un-mount the card, so right click that SD card drive, select “Change Drive Letters and Paths”, then remove any drive letters registered to it. Here’s what worked for me on a laptop with an integrated SD card reader running Windows 8.1, with a Windows 10 VM running inside VMWare.įirst put the micro SD card into the host machine, then go to Computer Management -> Disk Management. Not having a spare machine to put Windows 10 on, I thought I was going to have to wait.ĭespite what the instructions say though, it is possible to create the SD card from a VM it’s just a bit more fiddly.
It must be physical because the OS needs raw access to the SD card, and only Windows 10 is able to flash the card. Setting up Windows 10 IoT Core on Raspberry Pi from a VM - Simple Talkįollowing Build last week, I wanted to try running Universal Apps on a Raspberry Pi 2, but the setup instructions mention having to provision the SD card from a physical Windows 10 machine.
