> To install ARM64 versions of Windows use [dockur/windows-arm](https://github.com/dockur/windows-arm/). The `winctl.sh` script auto-detects your architecture and blocks unsupported versions on ARM. Set `WINDOWS_IMAGE=dockurr/windows-arm` in your `.env.modern` file when running on ARM64.

### How do I run on ARM64?
The `winctl.sh` script auto-detects your CPU architecture. On ARM64 systems (e.g., Apple Silicon, Ampere), only Windows 10 and 11 variants are supported:
| **Value** | **Version** |
|---|---|
| `11` | Windows 11 Pro |
| `11l` | Windows 11 LTSC |
| `11e` | Windows 11 Enterprise |
| `10` | Windows 10 Pro |
| `10l` | Windows 10 LTSC |
| `10e` | Windows 10 Enterprise |
To configure, set the ARM64 image in your `.env.modern` or `.env.legacy` file:
```bash
WINDOWS_IMAGE=dockurr/windows-arm
```
The script will automatically:
- Block unsupported versions with a clear error on `start`
- Show `[x86 only]` tags next to unsupported versions on `list`
- Display your detected architecture on `check`
