Earlier this month, we had reported on Microsoft finally bringing the Android 11 OS update to its dual display smartphone, the Surface Duo. But while the official build seems to be behind the overall mobile market, it seems that an unofficial build is up to date with the PC market.
According to an ITHome report, developer Gustave Monce of the main LumiaWoA project shared images of a Surface Duo running on Windows 11 based on the ARM64 system. Previously, Gustave had also ported Windows 10 OS on the American tech giant’s Lumia 950XL as well. Similarly, he had also managed to port Windows 11 ARM on the dual display smartphone as well.
Now, it seems that the project has seen further progress as it is running on Windows 11 ARM64 system. For those unaware, Microsoft has officially ended the support for Windows 10 mobile, so the efforts of the WoA developers have helped older Lumia models receive updates and even refresh their entire OS as well. These developers are an independent group that has been working on the unofficial Windows on ARM project for the last year years.
The project initially focused on Windows 10, but with the launch of Windows 11, they are now also working on the newer operating system as well. Gustave even shared images of the Surface Duo running Windows 11. So it is safe to assume that the project will soon grow to include other devices soon.
