So I need to download an ISO or VHDX file of Windows 10 Pro for ARM architecture for college. I use a mac with the M1 processor but the download pages for Microsoft windows only offer windows 11 arm and not windows 10 arm. I previously used Windows 10 Pro and have a digital license, but need the edition for arm architecture to run in my virtual machine software.

    I've got the same Problem, here's what I did so far:

    1. Download the files from https://uupdump.net/ (in Zip format)
    2. Unzip
    3. download files from Microsoft Servers (execute uup_download_macos.sh) (If you're on Linux/Windows execute ..._linux.sh / ...windows.sh)
    4. Convert to ISO File (execute convert.sh)
    5. Open Parallels Desktop and select the ISO file
    6. Parallels Desktop can't continue because of Secure Boot Issue

    If anyone knows how to continue after step 6 please let me know.

    Regarding Security, uupdump allegedly fetches the Files directly from Microsofts Servers.

    Thanks! I've already reached it.
    I used this site to download the windows 10 ARM version, I had tryed some versions and the 21390 worked for me.
    I also choose the option to download the iso in one click, so I didn't have to convert any type of file.

    https://uup.rg-adguard.net/

    Also, I put a flag in the secure boot to unable it.

    VM configuration > boot order > advanced >

    In advanced option, it is possible to inform the start indicators. To unable the secure boot. Put the flag:

    vm.efi.secureboot = 0

    It works like a charm to me.

    The problem that I have is, I downloaded Win 10 Insider preview 10.0.21382.1000 (co_release) [arm64]. I could installed in my macbook pro M1 using parallels, but it said that the build is expired. Install a new build of windows now.
    The 21390 build is hasn't Internet Explorer 11 (was removed). I need it to run a banking site. I dont know what to do.

    I had the same problem. I arrived in the step 6 and I don't know what I can do after that. Now I'm trying to download another version of the iso to see if the problem was specific with the one that I've downloaded.

    hey what's up,
    I think I figured something about secure boot
    Choose the ISO pick Windows 10 Pro edition
    choose customize setting before installation
    go to hardware > boot order > check select boot device on start up
    then continue
    you'll get a sort of bios screen, from there go to:
    device manager > secure boot configuration > then uncheck "attempt secure boot" ( the x should be removed )
    now go back to the main screen enter the boot manager and choose the windows 10 disc
    it will reboot multiple time just keep rebooting windows 10 it should work
    hope this was helpful and it worked out
    cheers

    edit :
    additional problems that I ran into, You should check .NET framework 3.5 before downloading the iso because it might be difficult to install later
    if you need internet explorer and that's why you use windows 10 instead of 11 I recommend that you do that
