Hello Team,

        This package was awesome, I'm using it in multiple clouds over dev environment.

        Recently, Microsoft released Win_11 for ARM Processors. 

        Kindly add Windows 11 ARM into ARM_iPXE boot, If possible.

Windows Installs work a little different using Netboot.

However yes, ARM Boot Option is missing in windows.ipxe.

@oe3gwu

 Thanks, but it won't work for me. Because I am using netboot for reimagining the Cloud ARM VM's (OCI). 

 The above documentation is only possible onprem Environment.

PXE is unsecure in the cloud. It is not encrypted. And PXE works via VPN. So if you wanna kickstart cloud environments over the internet, I am not sure if this is a good way to go.

And there is no "WDS" way to go to install Windows using Netboot (from that I know of). I tried myself to boot the setup direct, it wont find datastores.
