Microsoft has released the first Windows 11 Insider Preview for the Dev channel which is named Build 22000.51. The early preview version allows users to test-drive the features that are coming to the official version.
As the preview version has been released by the Redmond-based tech giant, the Windows 11 ARM version has also surfaced online and some developers have managed to load this newer Windows operating system on Lumia 950 XL smartphone.
Not just that, some reports have revealed about Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone getting flashed with the Windows 11 Preview operating system. While Windows is working on the smartphone, it still doesn’t support touch screen functionality and USB port.
Although Microsoft has given up on its Lumia smartphones, users are still tinkering with the older models. Last year, a group of developers managed to port the full Windows 10 operating system on Lumia 950 and 950 XL smartphones.
Developers have also managed to add Continuum support as well as a custom phone dialer app on a Lumia smartphone running Windows operating system. They even reached the ability to detect the SIM card on the device.
There’s no way Windows operating system on smartphones is getting official, at least not anytime soon, but it’s interesting to see developers making progress, boosting the development of Windows on ARM project.
