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

Check the details here http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/GetStarted.htm

It is now possible (officially) to run Windows 10 IoT Core on the newer Banana Pi (Allwinner Technology Banana Pi BPI-M64, Allwinner Technology Pine64) Boards:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdks/blob/master/doc/get_started/windows10-iot-core-banana-pi-bpi-m64-csharp.md

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/iot-hub-tested-configurations/#certified-for-iot-devices

And maybe useful for a custom try: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn916104%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

As of date of this posting MS specifically list Banana Pi M64 Allwinner A64 as a "Community Device"

Allwinner-Banana-Pi-BPI-M64 is listed in Windows 10 compatibility list in the URL https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/getstarted/prototype/selectdevice You got to wait until the page list (big list) loads and in almost last row this is listed. I'm working on loading Win IoT core onto M64 board. If successful i shall put my report here.
