Guide
Once you download all of the things above you can proceed.
Open WoR. Select Disk from the list which will be your microsd card reader or usb storage device and select Raspberry pi 4 as a device that you will use. Then select build of windows WoR should use by pointing to a correct install.wim file. Use the latest drivers that WoR server provides. Select the latest UEFI for Raspberry pi 4 in WoR. Use Advanced tab in WoR to limit memory to 1024MB for USB type-c and if you don’t need type-c port then RAM is still limited by UEFI by default to 3GB of RAM. Do edit boot options in WoR if you need to (I always overclock as my Pi has a fan and heatsink attached).
WoR will deploy windows to the selected micro sd card or usb storage device which will take from 10 minutes to 3 hours depending on speed of your micro SD card or USB storage device .
Safely remove micro SD card or usb storage device and move it into the Raspberry Pi.

Drivers
Currently a lot of drivers are missing and not a lot of development is happening. We are missing drivers for wifi and gpu. Development of those drivers will take a long time.
