[Elecraft] What I need and meant

[KJ7SOY]

Unfortunately that’s a terrible idea. I’ve been using Pi’s for 8 years. I currently have 23 of them deployed managing our home automation, surveillance systems, and other assorted tasks. 12 are in a rack in my rackmount cabinet and the rest are deployed around our property (6 acres). 

The two things they do NOT do well are run Windows and run Android. I’ve tested multiple times, on multiple Pi’s (up to and including the 8GB PI 4) with every variant that has ever claimed to run on the Pi. They don’t. Period. Either they lack drivers, or they run slower than molasses in a freezer. They have NEVER functioned, and given the Pi’s architecture and their library demands likely never will. Virtualization makes no difference. They just don’t work. 

Please don’t waste your time trying this. It’s truly not worth the time you’d spend getting it installed.

(see this page <https://www.lfedge.org/2021/01/26/you-can-now-run-windows-10-on-a-raspberry-pi-using-project-eve/#:~:text=BlogProject%20EVE-,You%20Can%20Now%20Run%20Windows%2010,Raspberry%20Pi%20using%20Project%20EVE!&text=Ever%20since%20Project%20EVE%20came,out%20EVE%27s%20virtualization%20of%20hardware.>). If it can run Windows 10, you could probably run a smaller version of Windows (NT, 7, maybe 3.1!). It would probably run on a small 12 volt battery for days... the only thing would be the mouse/screen. JAT (Just A Thought).
