There is no x86 emulation in the build but Win86emu does seem to work so you can get some very limited support via that route and also most of the old stuff that was recompiled for Windows RT 8.1 will run just fine too. Obviously no actual updates for Windows will be available. Windows Update works to update Office 2013 RT and it looks like it also updates Windows Defender definitions, Defender seems to work and does scans in the background but the UI is broken. There are some other bugs here and there, I think event viewer will cause a BSOD but I can't remember what the error is. Edit: I retested this issue and its gone away for the moment For some reason the tablet can detect low/critical battery levels and provide the visual warning but the auto shutdown on critical level does not happen, I haven't really looked at this though and it might be fixable. The only bug I really have to keep an eye out for is the automatic shutdown when the battery is about to die. Once some of the missing apps that normally come with Windows 10 are there and Office 2013 RT is installed its starts to feel right. There are a couple of application packages floating around to flesh it out and make it a more complete experience - see Windows 10 on ARM for Surface RT at XDA-Developers. When first installed the OS is pretty bare with limited preinstalled apps - see Windows 10 build 15035 at BetaWiki. On the Surface 2 with Windows 10 15035 there are no driver issues and battery life is at least equal to what it was under Windows RT 8.1, from what I have seen on various forum threads the same is true on the Surface RT. I do however run it on my Surface 2 still and it's quite reasonable all things considered. I never got the chance to run it on my Surface RT, sadly it had an unfortunate encounter with a concrete floor. Johndoe123 wrote:On a side note, has anyone tried installing 15035 on a Surface RT yet? If you have any comments on this idea or think of a way it could be done, I would love to hear about it, so be sure to reply to this thread in that case. Basically, it would take a Surface Pro X version of Windows 10 (from recovery media created for one, unless you’re a pirate), and replace the Surface Pro X drivers with those of a Windows RT tablet of your choosing. This would be even cooler if you could upgrade from Windows RT to Windows 10 without doing a clean install, as if you were installing a Windows 10 feature update.Īnyway, I have an idea for a utility that has this purpose and how it would work. The same could go for other tablets that run Windows RT. All it would probably require is the correct driver support, which should be able to be ported over from Windows RT 8.1, considering that Windows 10 is based on Windows 8.1, and Windows 8.1 and its RT counterpart share the same code base. I’d like it if the version of Windows 10 that runs on the Surface Pro X could be modified to run on the Surface RT, Surface 2, and other Windows RT tablets. The Surface Pro X runs Windows 10, so I think that the basis for running it on Surface RTs and Surface 2s is there. It has a Microsoft-designed ARM CPU, yet it can still run 32-bit Win32 apps via emulation. One of Microsoft’s current Surface tablet models is the Surface Pro X. The tablet has an ARM-based CPU, and therefore runs Windows RT, the sibling of Windows 8 that prevents Win32 applications from being executed. Let me know if anything needs adding.I have an old Microsoft Surface 2 tablet from around 2014. Install windows updates to get rid of the one device not installed in Device manager.

I found a lot of settings did move over just using the keep files option. Some have found success with editing a cfg file in the iso and Im not sure if that will work on the RT.
