Although Raspberry Pi users already have Windows 10 IoT Core installed, thanks to the recently launched Windows 10 on ARM platform, a skilled developer has successfully ported the full version of Windows 10 to this single-board computer.
Windows 10 on the ARM is Microsoft’s most notable recent project that allows the full version of Windows 10 to run on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors with the benefit of ultra-high endurance.
A Netherlands developer @NTAuthority recently successfully installed a full version of Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi 3 (the Broadcom BCM2837 ARMv8 processor).

Although it has been successfully ported and is capable of running traditional Win32 applications, there are a number of deficiencies. @NTAuthority said the current system can only call a CPU core.
