TL;DR

Microsoft has released official Windows 11 ISOs for Arm64-based PCs, allowing users to clean install the OS on devices with Arm64 processors, including the latest Snapdragon X Copilot+ PCs. While the ISOs are primarily intended for virtual machines, they can also be used for direct installation on Arm64 hardware. However, older Snapdragon SoCs may require driver integration into the ISO before booting, a process that involves extracting and repackaging .wim files. This release marks a significant step in Microsoft's support for the Windows on Arm platform.
