**1. Introduction**

[A report from Arm and Microsoft](https://armkeil.blob.core.windows.net/developer/Files/pdf/report/arm-developer-attitude-to-windows-on-arm-report.pdf?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=client-developer/ecosystem_mk22_arm_na_na_awa&utm_content=report), which surveyed developer attitudes about Windows on Arm, indicates that 81% of developers expect the Windows on Arm (WoA) market to grow in the next five years. Analogously, Advantech seeks to deliver the enormous potential of WoA to our customers. Accordingly, the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC on NXP i.MX 8M is now available on Advantech’s ROM-5720 ([click to find software release notes](https://forum.aim-linux.advantech.com/t/os-image-release-div0004-windows-10-iot-enterprise-on-rom-5720-with-nxp-i-mx-8m/170)).

This article describes the collaboration between Microsoft, NXP, and Advantech; and their efforts to make installing Windows 10 on Arm as streamlined as possible.

**2. Prerequisites**

**Hardware:**

- [ROM-5720](https://www.advantech.com/products/computer-on-module/rom-5720/mod_4fbfe9fa-f5b2-4ba8-940e-e47585ad0fef) – a SMARC 2.1 Computer-on-Module (COM) with NXP i.MX8M SOC

- [ROM-DB5901](https://www.advantech.com/products/092ab0bc-0889-4749-914b-73ac468434d5/rom-db5901/mod_f72989a7-a517-4bc2-9940-f3385441440b)– an evaluation carrier board designed for the Advantech SMARC 2.1 module

- One 8GB SD card – for flashing the OS installer

- One micro USB cable for flashing boot loader

- One power adapter (input: 100 ~ 240V AC 50/60Hz; output: DC 12V 3A; Advantech P/N: 96PSA-A36W12R1-3)

**Software:**

- **Win32 Disk Imager**

- **Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Image package**

**3. Install Windows 10 IoT Enterprise on ROM-5720**

- **3-1.Extract the zip file (file name: 20220531.zip) of the image package you downloaded.**

- **3-2. Extract the zip file (firmware\_20220531.7z) in the folder 20220531 and flash firmware into eMMC**.

- **3-3. Prepare 8GB SD card for flashing OS installer in Linux operating system and Windows operating system.**

- **3-4. Flash boot loader to eMMC**

D. Power off the device after typing any key to leave the flash process. The process of flashing boot loader is completed after this.

- **3-5. Flash Windows IoT to eMMC**

**4. Conclusion**

The [ROM-5720](https://www.advantech.com/products/computer-on-module/rom-5720/mod_4fbfe9fa-f5b2-4ba8-940e-e47585ad0fef) with NXP i.MX 8M platform is now powered by Windows IoT Enterprise. Windows IoT enterprise brings full Windows application compatibility to IoT. [ROM-5720](https://www.advantech.com/products/computer-on-module/rom-5720/mod_4fbfe9fa-f5b2-4ba8-940e-e47585ad0fef)’s small footprint results in a lower cost and power solution that does not compromise Windows application compatibility or graphics capabilities when building new, compact, and fan-less Windows IoT device form factors. Without such features, doing so was impossible when used in HMI automation and kiosk applications. We are excited to see what you can build using our [ROM-5720](https://www.advantech.com/products/computer-on-module/rom-5720/mod_4fbfe9fa-f5b2-4ba8-940e-e47585ad0fef) with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. We hope you get started with your new design today!

HI Kuwabara-san ,

I appreciate your kind assistance.  
Certaintly, the baud rate is changed to 921600 when we flashed the orignal OS to Windows 10 IoT Enterprose on Arm.
