Many Android phone can run Windows 10 ARM
Last fall, developers tried to install the Windows 10 ARM version on the Google Pixel 3 series and OnePlus 6T, which attracted the attention of many enthusiasts.
Developers are also trying to expand the scope of support to allow more Android flagships to run Windows 10 ARM, and now they have achieved important milestones for flashing Windows 10 for Android.
This milestone mainly refers to solving the memory leakage problem of the Snapdragon 835 platform. After the problem is solved, more Android machines equipped with the 835 processor can be flashed.
Memory is a very limited resource, so under normal circumstances, the operating system needs to periodically release free memory to ensure that the new process has enough memory to use.
Previously, there was a memory leak when adapting Windows 10 to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform, which directly led to a blue screen of death at system startup.
After the efforts of the developers, the current memory leak problem is finally solved. After the problem is solved, more Android flagship machines can be easily run Windows 10 ARM.
For example, including Samsung Galaxy S8, Mi 6, Mi Mix 2S, OnePlus 6 can already install Windows 10 ARM operating system.
The successful resolution of the memory leak problem is the most important step in flashing, but after this problem is solved, various driver adaptation problems must be solved.
After testing, some developers found that because the driver has not yet been adopted, such as screen touch, camera and various sensors are temporarily not working properly.
Therefore, at this stage, it is not suitable for ordinary users to install Windows 10 directly on their Android machines, otherwise, they will not be able to be used even if they can successfully start the system.
It is worth noting that the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform itself is already compatible with Windows 10 ARM, so connections such as mobile networks and data traffic are normal.
Next, it will be up to developers on how to solve the adaptation problems of touch screens and various hardware drivers. After completion, users can install Windows 10 system.
