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 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.
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.

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.
