In this blog we talk about the work involved in making the official installer for Windows on Arm available and how you can get set up. In the last months, Linaro has been contributing to several key packages, and provided a CI machine to build and test for Windows on Arm.

If developers are exploring Windows on Arm and native development, they will be pleased to hear that Python, the most widely-used programming language, now has native support for Arm platforms.
