ReactOS Now Running On ARM64 In Experimental Form
ReactOS has achieved experimental support for ARM64, expanding its compatibility beyond i586 and AMD64 architectures. This milestone allows ReactOS to boot on ARM64 systems, specifically targeting Apple ARM64 processors through QEMU. The project continues to work towards implementing binary compatibility for Windows applications and drivers.
- ▪ReactOS is an open-source project aimed at providing binary compatibility for Microsoft Windows programs and drivers.
- ▪The new ARM64 support was made possible by the efforts of an open-source contributor over recent months.
- ▪The experimental build requires a UEFI compatible system with GICv2 or GICv3 enabled.

ReactOS Now Running On ARM64 In Experimental Form Written by Michael Larabel in Operating Systems on 26 May 2026 at 08:54 PM EDT. 1 Comment ReactOS as the "open-source Windows" project working to implement binary compatibility for computer programs and drivers for Microsoft Windows now has experimental support for running on 64-bit ARM. ReactOS has long catered to i586 and AMD64 while thanks to the work of an open-source contributor the past many months, ReactOS is now able to boot on ARM64. ReactOS shared on X the milestone today of this experimental ARM64 support. The screenshot shown has the experimental ReactOS code booted as a QEMU virtual machine targeting an Apple ARM64 processor.
