Hello everyone and welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at that strange PS5 APU that we managed to snag from China. Only this time we're taking up the challenge to get this thing running Windows...Yes alot of people asked so we're going to give it a go. So join me for what turned into a much bigger project than I ever imagined, and if you feel that this has given you some ideas to try it yourself please do let me know if you have more luck than me. But still after how good linux was to use...Does Windows actually work as a viable option when using the Playstation 5s Hardware?
