IS windows dual boot coming?

[Mad_Scientist_565]

Just quick question. I searched but couldn't really get an answer. Most of what I found was just using DEX. I thought since windows 10 is running on the snapdragon 835, someone might make it dual boot.

thanks for your replies.

there are developers working on Win10 for ARM, but it isn't quite there, yet. I very much doubt that you will ever have a dual boot Win/Android setup on Note 8, but a Windows 10 shell for DeX is already being worked on and should probably be usable soon.

Thanks. In addition. I thought that windows already released a build for arm? I read several laptops are coming with it. I assume its not just as simple as installing that build onto the note 8 due to other hardware differences, but does it simplify things any? again just asking for my curiosity.

i am not aware of any official release of Win10 for ARM, yet. we are probably a long way from ever booting Win10 on Note 8 for so many reasons. It is nowhere near as simple as installing Windows in a PC.

There are Win10 arm64 builds available but they won't work on Note8. Or any SD835 phone.

Why? Bootloader. We use bootloader made to load Android. So Samsung would need to release a special bootloader to load Windows.

And just in case if You're wondering. SD835 is comparable to i5 6th gen CPU. So performance in Win10 wouldn't be bad. But 6.3 inch display..

If You want to try Win10 on Your Note, just search for "rdp" in Play Store .

Actually, I wanted to try something a bit different, but its theoretical and I didnt think it would work anyways.
