# Windows on the Galaxy S9+ (Exynos 9810)
Run Windows 11 (ARM64) on the Samsung Galaxy S9+ **SM-G965F** (Exynos 9810,
"star2lte"). This repository holds the firmware, drivers and a graphical
installer that takes a phone from a fully stock Android state to installed
Windows.
> **One validated device.** Everything here has only been proven on
> **SM-G965F** with **Windows 11 22H2/23H2 ARM64** (the builds listed in the
> firmware catalog: 22621/22631.2428 and 22621.7582/22631.7584). The installer
> knows which steps are automated and which are not: unfinished stages are shown
> as *coming soon* and the installer stops before them rather than guessing. Do
> not point it at another model or firmware.

| Asset | What it is |
|-------|------------|
| `S9WoaInstaller- -x64.zip` / `-arm64.zip` | The installer, ready to run (self-contained: no .NET or Windows App SDK install needed). Unzip and run `S9WoaInstaller.exe`. |
| `firmware.json` + `star2lte-uefi- .img` | The UEFI images, one per supported Windows build. The installer downloads and verifies them for you. |
| `drivers.zip` | The UFS, HSI2C and touch driver packages (test-signed). Also downloaded by the installer. |
| `star2lte-winre-recovery.img` | The WinRE-look TWRP, prebuilt from the official TWRP with open fonts. Optional: choose it on the Set up page instead of the official TWRP download. |
Windows itself is never redistributed: bring your own ARM64 media.
