Recent discussions include DuoWOA's release of Windows 10 Andromeda firmware for the Surface Duo, enabling enthusiasts to boot a near-original build on Microsoft's dual-screen device, and running Windows 11 ARM on an iPad Air using UTM emulation and JIT compilation. These projects are experimental, with known limitations like broken sensors, thermal issues, and incomplete driver support. The tag focuses on the technical process, risks, and rewards of modifying devices to run alternative operating systems.
