All-new Windows 10X for PC runs even on ancient smartphones

Microsoft created Windows 10X as a lightweight and convenient version of Windows 10, and it works great on laptops with touch screens, but can also be used with a mouse and keyboard. However, as it turned out, it also works on mobile devices. The developer was able to successfully install the operating system into the ancient Lumia 950XL smartphone.

Gustave Monce installed a pre-build of Windows 10X on the Nokia Lumia 950XL smartphone, which was released in November 2015. He confirms that the operating system scales well to different screen sizes. The Lumia 950 XL has a 5.7-inch display, and the Windows 10X taskbar fits well at the bottom of the screen. The quick settings panel also has all the elements.

While Windows 10X responds well to the smaller form factor, it still needs some work, according to Mons. The source believes that compatibility with smartphones is not at all proof that Microsoft is preparing to return to the smartphone business after the failure of Windows Phone. However, if Microsoft decides to do so, Windows 10X may well become the operating system for the company’s new mobile devices.

Users who have tried out the new build of Windows 10X have found evidence that there is a dedicated developer section in Settings that allows you to test Win32 apps.

Windows 10X is expected to ship this spring.
