Microsoft just launched a version of windows 10 that will run on low powered arm hardware.
Surface rt windows 10 arm.
Windows 10 on arm is not windows rt.
Xda developers windows 8 rt development and hacking windows rt development and hacking windows 10 on arm for surface rt by kephax xda developers was founded by developers for developers.
Hi guys following the recent release of a windows 10 arm32 install tutorial in chinese to install it on the surface rt 1 and surface rt 2 i ve decided to come and try my luck by using google translate to follow the procedure and then decided to refine it and to make it into this tutorial for the surface 2 the procedure for the surface 1 should not be much different aside from the files you.
When is the surface rt getting the upgrade to windows 10.
Unlike windows rt the version of windows 8 that powered the original surface and surface 2 this is a full version of windows 10 with an emulation layer that allows it to run traditional desktop apps from outside the windows store.
So there hasn t anything official yet so i will ask.
Before you order an arm powered windows device like the new surface pro x read this.
The 8 1 updates have removed alot of the touchscreen apps i enjoyed from the windows store and also from the forums over the last couple of years there has been some increased chatter that this might happen.
Microsoft surface assuming that s what you re talking about has an arm processor and runs windows rt.
That means the os you want to install has to.
That device uses a cpu that was jointly developed by microsoft and qualcomm.
If everything goes as per the plan the first windows 10.
Microsoft is also working on windows 10 for arm devices and unlike windows rt the new operating system will support win32 apps emulation.
