# ARM64 Windows VPS at HyperDC: order, connect and run your apps > Your ARM64 Windows VPS: what each plan includes, the automatic setup, the Web Console and Remote Desktop, x86 apps through emulation, snapshots and fixes. Difficulty: Beginner An ARM64 Windows VPS is a Windows virtual server on 64-bit Arm with a 3D GPU. Use it to build and test software on Arm, or to run your Windows tools from anywhere. This guide takes you from the order to your first session. ## What you get - Windows on 64-bit Arm with an **Administrator** account. - The **vCPUs, memory, disk and network speed** listed with your plan. - A **3D GPU** whose memory comes from the plan's memory, in the amount listed with the plan. - **One IPv4 address** and **three snapshots**. ## Order your server Compare the plans on the [ARM64 Windows VPS](/arm64-windows-vps) page and press **Order Now**. After your order is paid, Windows installs itself in about 20-25 minutes. Power and console controls appear in the client area when it finishes, and the login details come by e-mail. ## Connect **In your browser:** open your service in the client area and start the **HyperDC Web Console**. Nothing needs to be installed on your computer. **With Remote Desktop:** connect to your server's IPv4 address with the Windows App or Remote Desktop Connection. If it does not connect, see [RDP connection problems](/guides/rdp-connection-problems). ## Run your apps - **Arm apps** run natively and are the fastest choice. Look for an Arm64 download of your tools first. - **x86 apps** run through Windows emulation. They need more processor time than native ones. - **Drivers** must be Arm versions: software that installs a driver of its own may need an Arm build. Try the software that matters to you early, and move to a larger plan if it needs more memory. ## Use your snapshots Three snapshots are included. Take one before a big change and go back to it if something breaks. Reinstall and rescue mode are not available on this line, so a snapshot is your way back. Keep important files somewhere else as well. ## Troubleshooting **The order still shows Pending.** The server is being prepared. We e-mail you as soon as it is ready. **There are no power or console buttons.** Windows is still installing. They appear when the setup finishes, in about 20-25 minutes. **The status says Stopping.** Windows shuts down cleanly first, which can take up to 25 seconds. It is not an error. **A tool that starts virtual machines does not run.** WSL 2, Hyper-V and similar tools need nested virtualization, which this line does not have. ## Next steps - Other Arm servers: [Arm64 servers: getting started](/guides/arm64-servers-getting-started). - A desktop on GPU and Arm servers: [Windows and desktops on GPU and Arm64 servers](/guides/gpu-arm64-windows-desktop). ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does the setup take? Windows installs itself after your order is paid, in about 20-25 minutes. Power and console controls appear in the client area when it finishes. ### Do my x86 apps run? Yes, through Windows emulation. Arm apps run natively. Emulated apps need more processor time, and drivers must be Arm versions. ### Can I reinstall Windows or use rescue mode? These are not available on this line. Take a snapshot before a big change and go back to it when you need to; three are included. ### Can I run WSL 2 or Hyper-V? No. They start their own virtual machines, and this line is a VPS without nested virtualization. ### Why does stopping take a moment? Windows shuts down cleanly first, which can take up to 25 seconds. The client area shows Stopping meanwhile; it is not an error. --- Source: \ Updated: 2026-10-31
