Microsoft makes it easier to do a clean Windows install on Arm-based PCs

Quick Summary:

Generic install media brings Arm PCs closer to feeling like any old x86 PC.

Various apps, scripts, and websites also exist to grab files from Microsoft's servers and build "unofficial" ISOs for the Arm version of Windows, though obviously this is more complicated than just downloading a single file directly.

But for Arm-based PCs, including the Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X Plus and Elite chips in them, it hasn't been possible in the same way.
