史蒂文_卢卡斯570 I believe what you are looking for is an iso image formatted for the new Apple silicon that would allow you to spin up a VM Server. I've been running into the same brick wall. There's a VM that allows you to either emulate or virtualize. Perhaps thats something worth looking into. If I understood your post that is.
- Server 2016 and 2019 are officially available as ARM. However, if you missed downloading your Server 2019 ARM64 EVAL or VolumeLicence version when it was available (a very short time) you have to use uupdump.net, which seems to be down as well right now. You may be out of luck.
Server 2022 exists as ARM64 version too, it even gets the same security update cycle as the normal Server 2022, and is used by Microsoft themselves. But Microsoft does not intent to release it to the public, and does everything possible to prevent those to escape.
The reason is quite simple: Support cost. Don't expect that to change, unless you are big enough to be recognized by Microsoft as a customer worth that effort.
I have a personal opinion in this topic as well, but that won't help in this discussion. Guys.. You do realize that this is about having a business case? Microsoft is not a charity. Where's the ROI in wasting hundreds of developer hours porting windows server to ARM? Eventually, it will happen. But you need to realize that what pays for Windows server are enterprise customers with license subscriptions.
Eventually - I guess this will take a few more years - ARM-based servers will displace traditional x86 ones. Simply because the power efficiency is making it a super compelling use case. And once that starts happening, msft will have to release Windows Server on arm. They will lose a lot of ground to Linux otherwise.
- Michael,
This is not assuming the effort is a charity case. It's much more about laying the groundwork and a roadmap for an architecture that is absolutely going to overtake x86 in the long run. Whatever time it might take is being wasted on waiting for someone else to do what you have been waiting for. Why wait!?ZenZenPup Just look at HP printers software, I cannot help I guess the cause is the same. And if my guts are right, the ARM story of Microsoft will be stucked where it is, …. unless you invent the solution on your own, and make a ton of money with it first … Microsoft could then acquire it like Xamarin. Being born in a famous Brahmin family who is interested in it could be an advantage.
I think the clean answer for education is to train on Linux for ARM Architecture. The demand for Linux trained professionals is exceptional right now.
- Windows Server no available. Right, go to education by Linux.
- find me education for linux . id love to see it.
- Windows Server 2016 and 2022 were only released in x64 (amd64) architecture. Server has never released on Arm64.
- Hello Mary, I must imperatively and very quickly work on windows server ARM. When will it be available? Thank you very much for your answer.

As Mary said, there is no ARM64 of Windows Server. This is an internal artifact that can be ignored, sorry for the confusion.
However, as we look to the planning for the next version of Windows Server... if an ARM64 would be interesting, very open to the feedback. Please provide details into the scenarios and use cases specifically around Windows Server that make ARM64 interesting to you.
Thanks!
Elden
Mary Hoffman Updates are released in the Catalog like
2022-05 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 for Windows Server 2019 for ARM64 (KB5014090)Last Modified: 5/24/2022
Why would that exist if there is no version?但 Windows 11 ARM有的？ Mary Hoffman
- I'm not certain what you are asking. If you want to know about Insider builds of Windows 11, plese see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/all/windows-11-arm64-build/61822e9e-59b1-4d79-b689-7a2293df1445 to find out if your device can support Windows 11. You can download Windows 11 on ARM64 previews from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewarm64 if you are a registered Insider.
