I lack detailed knowledge of software matters, so I'm trying to grasp why Microsoft didn't prioritize Windows 10 Mobile for their own hardware like the Surface RT and Surface 2, or even Windows RT devices in general. It might be due to limited user demand or resource constraints. Regarding sideloading W10M on a Surface 2 instead of an 8.1 RT, it's technically feasible but not straightforward.
Microsoft has stopped supporting RT, it's an outdated OS. You can't install Windows 10 via side loading because RT isn't built for ARM devices.
these are called "universal apps" and not related to x86 programs. They're built for desktop environments across different architectures. To function together, they'd need to completely rebuild the rendering engine from scratch, which isn't practical because modern Windows tablets use x86 hardware and run standard Windows 10 RT. That means the usual approach won't work here.
It refers to the phone dock, altering the interface to look similar to Windows 10, yet being suitable for ARM-based devices that were previously used in older RT systems.
Absolutely, it might work. Running the dock software on older RT devices could be a solution. However, it seems Microsoft likely aims to phase it out rather than maintain it, making a forced upgrade more practical.
