Installing Windows ARM on Samsung Galaxy Book S

Hello, everybody.

I'm experiencing troubles with installing Windows Insider Preview for ARM on Samsung Galaxy Book S

When I start installation it from the physical drive it hangs during initial boot. Same behavior when I start an instance of Windows installed via DISM (under working OEM copy of windows using Insider Preview ISO). Same ISO boots and works well in virtualized environment.

My host is:

How can I start troubleshooting to figure out what's going on? Is there more appropriate resource?

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting in the community.

    According to your description,

    In the process of solving your troubles, it is inevitable to perform certain operations on the BIOS.

    Since the BIOS settings of different computers are not the same, you can contact Samsung official technical support to help you solve this problem;

    Or contact computer after-sales or professional computer maintenance personnel to help you.

    If you have any updates, please feel free and come back to share with us.

    Hi,

    Maybe you can try the following solutions:

    Clean install of Windows 10 using installation media

    • Warning: 
      • A clean installation is an advanced option to help you start fresh on your device. We recommend following the below steps only if you're confident in making these changes. For more help, contact support.
      • This will remove all your personal files, apps and drivers you installed, apps and customizations from your PC manufacturer, and changes you made in Settings.
      This option will use a tool to create installation media which you can use to completely wipe the disk and install a fresh copy of Windows 10. This option requires you to use an external storage device such as a USB drive, and may take a few extra steps, though it will delete everything for the cleanest installation.  This type of clean install deletes and recreates system partitions. It will delete all personal files on your device and the partition on your hard drive currently being used for your recovery drive. Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
      • An internet connection
      • An external storage device such as a USB drive, SD card, or external hard drive with at least 8GB of available space.
      Create the installation media First, create the installation media that you'll use to perform a clean install of Windows 10.  Make sure you've backed up any files on your device that you wish to save onto an external storage device such as a USB drive, SD card, or external hard drive, or upload your files to OneDrive. Note: If you use an external storage device to back up files, make sure it’s a different one than the one you’ll be using to download Windows 10 installation media. Download the Windows 10 installation media to a separate 8GB-sized external storage device. Everything on this drive will be deleted to complete the download, so make sure it’s empty before you proceed. Here's how: On a working PC, go to the Microsoft software download website and select Download tool now. When the download is complete, open the tool from your desktop, and then select Yes when asked if you’d like to allow the tool to make changes to your device. When the Windows 10 Setup guide appears, accept the license terms and agreements. Select Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) from another PC, and then select Next. Choose a language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit). Follow the steps to create installation media, and then select Finish. Use the installation media to perform a clean install Connect the installation media you created to your PC and perform a clean install of Windows 10.  Select the Start  button, then select Settings > Update & Security  > Recovery .

    Open Recovery settings

    Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
    
    Select Use a device, and then choose the device corresponding to the external storage device you’re using.
    
    Note: If the Use a device option isn’t available, visit your device manufacturer’s website for details on how to boot from a USB flash drive.
    
    When the first Windows screen appears, choose the options that best suit your needs, and then select Next.
    
    Select Install now, and then check the I accept box. Select Next, and then select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced). Your device will now display a list of drives and partitions. If multiple disks are displayed, you’ll only need to delete all partitions from the disk where you want to install Windows.
    
    Highlight each drive/partition in the list and select Delete. When the Windows Setup notification appears, select OK.
    
    Complete step 5 for every drive in the list except the one that says Unallocated Space. When you’re finished, only Drive 0 Unallocated Space should remain.
    
    Select Next.
    
    The Windows setup screen will now display Installing Windows. When the installation is complete, your device will restart. When this happens, it may try to restart from the external storage device.
    
     If the initial Windows setup screen requests you choose you language/keyboard layout, remove the external storage drive from your device and select OK. This will restart your device.
    
    Once the installation is complete and your device has restarted, select the preferences and settings you’d like for your device.

    I just see that spinning dots (or how it's called) just stop spinning. No messages. I.e. installation process can't even proceed to the first screen.
