![]() That document says, in addition to device requirements, that a supported system running Windows has to contain a supported CPU. A supported system is one that meets the requirements in the Windows system requirements documents which are very detailed. What I did see in them when I researched this topic tends to point back to running the product on a supported system. IANAL, but the EULAs are such that they don’t spell things out so that mere mortals can understand them.

Unfortunately that does appear to be the case that there’s no place to buy a Windows for ARM license. Here is the Windows 10 OEM license link. For me the idea of paying for an activation on a system Microsoft has clearly stated they do not support is money thrown away.but it does also seem safer to run on a activated copy than on just the In sider preview overall. ![]() That said people in forums are claiming to get the Windows 11 ARM Insider preview to activate on M1 Macs either with existing keys, or by adding the Microsoft Store to the Windows 11 ARM preview then paying Microsoft $199 for the activation. Micro Center does not stock them, so no market for standalone OEM copies of Windows ARM. In the ARM world there are few if any motherboards to buy. Thus a dealer could have a OEM copy of Windows Intel in stand-alone form to sell. Then again with the well-developed Intel world Micro Center can sell the OEM version Windows to be purchased along with a motherboard and CPU etc. By definition OEM usually means bundled with hardware.
