It does but it's only in Nightly if you tick the x64 checkbox. Reason: no WoW64

They should focus on making ReactOS more stable. I always get BSODs when I try to boot it on real hardware. That’s the only thing stopping me from using it. I’m okay with some peripherals not working, as long as the OS doesn’t BSOD on boot!

Have you tried disabling hardware within your pc or removing it from your PC in an isolation test attempt?

Unless they know what hardware you have, what error is occurring, and at what point the device is causing a BSOD, then that error will stand the test of time on the matter.

Im having firmware block from testing mine on real hardware too
My suggestion, use ai to find a fix or work around
If none can be found, it might be your current pc firmware setup

Thankfully they're in the process of doing that. They're putting a lot of work into being able to support more and more native drivers which will be one of the tickets into booting on more and more real hardware
