Recenlty I decided to buy a Raspberry pi 4 model in order to use it as a tiny weather server with a Davis Weather Station. Unfortunally i was not so familiar with arm architecture and i wanded to avoid console enviroment so i sucessfully installed Windows 10 arm.

As i was not sure about the ability of running in a correct way in rashberry the related software that comes with weather station (weather link) i tried succesfully to install some simple programms using compatibility to XP mode in orer to by pass the fact that i was running software on arm architecture.

Then i tried to install the Weatherlink Software with no problems but finally i can not communicate with weather station via USB. The weather station seems that has no drivers althought i have installed the program of the Weather Sation. Moreover if i try to use USB mode in reinstall instalation freezes completely.

Could someone help me or suggest me a solution?

I am aware that i might tring to use incompatible software for ARM architecture but i would appreciate if i could have a solution here using Windows 10.

Thank you in advance.

    It's not clear, but are you trying to install x86 software onto the Arm? If so, then it will just not work.

    @Bib - x86 software will work on Windows 10 on ARM, but I would be dubious of a x86 driver, working on Windows on ARM even if it’s a USB device.

  • "Compatibility mode" does not mean emulation of a different architecture, all it means is that the operating system appears as if it were the previous version allowing a Windows XP program (of the same architecture) to maybe function. If you need an x86 architecture then chances are you need some kind of Intel NUC or Compute Stick or small form factor PC. A Raspberry Pi may be cheap but it is no replacement for the x86 platform when you have devices that only work on or only have drivers for x86.
