  • However, this is not a simple procedure, and the end result may not be to your satisfaction.
  • Touch, network, cellular, cameras, and other features don't work right now.
  • Keep in mind that you won't be able to utilize the Surface Duo with Windows as your primary computer.


Do you recall the original Surface Duo? Yes, we're referring about the Microsoft product that was unveiled and released in 2019.

You might be interested to hear that you can now dual-boot Windows and Android on the original Surface Duo if you so desire.

The early results of efforts to deliver Windows on the Surface Duo have been revealed in a recent Twitter tweet.

However, if you have the 128GB version of the first-generation Surface Duo, you may install Windows on ARM with the original Android.

The outcomes are undeniable.

Before you begin, keep in mind that installing Windows on the Surface Duo is not an easy task, so be prepared for the unexpected and be ready to troubleshoot.

The creators have supplied an easy-to-follow guide with specific instructions, but remember to back up all mission-critical data first.

We agree that running Windows on the Surface Duo is an interesting prospect, however this project is still in its early stages, which means that absolutely nothing works.

To clarify, functions such as touch, network, cellular, cameras, and other critical hardware components are not functional.


In the end, you won't be able to use the Surface Duo with Windows as your primary computer, so keep that in mind before trying out your smartphone.

Another essential point to note is that this project is only compatible with the first-generation Surface Duo 128 GB AT&T and unlocked models, which run Android 10 and 11.

If you're ready to give it a shot, the official GitHub website has everything you'll need to install Windows 11 on the Surface Duo.

You can also try installing Windows on the 256 GB device, however the developer claims that only 128 GB units are now supported.

Because the second-generation Surface Duo isn't supported, you won't be able to follow the guide to install Windows on it.
