Many devices/platforms are supported by Microsoft. The Banana Pi isn't listed here. But the specifications of the Banana Pi (first generation in this case) are quite similar to that of Raspbian Pi:

My Question: Is is possible to get Windows 10 IoT running on a Banana Pi (not only theoretically)?

As of today, only 3 devices are supported by Windows 10 IoT Core.

  • Raspberry Pi 2
  • MinnowBoard Max
  • DragonBoard410c
