Hi,

I have recently bought a Lumia 2520 tab that works on Windows RT 8.1.

I wanted to know if this Windows RT can be upgraded to Windows 10. If yes, then it would be really great. Else I will have regret for buying an operating system that has no future.

Hoping for your quick feedback.

Thank you.

Shiva

    What system are you using?

    I reiterate once again. THERE WILL BE NO UPGRADE OF WINDOWS RT 8.1 TO WINDOWS10.

    At best they stated that SOME of the features that have been incorporated into Windows 10 will be released for Windows RT but what and when has never been detailed, you may find that all that would be has been.

    Article 18581 has the following

    "Microsoft will make software updates, including security updates, available for Windows RT. More information about the Windows RT lifecycle policy will be communicated as it becomes available." The article was reviewed May 2017

    Given that officially support for the original Surface tablet hardware was due to end April 2017 and the two streams are closely integrated we can't expect too much.

    Not quite sure what you mean by "integrated the rt's ability for arm cpu's into the full windows 10 " as they are completely different code sets. Nothing that natively runs on ARM will run on x86 just as much as the other way round.

    You can make them both capable of running the same applications which is the ethos behind Universal Apps but the operating system itself has to by definition be written for the processor it is intended to run on.

    What makes Microsoft's attitude for RT less comprehensible is that there is

    an ARM build in existence i.e. the Phone build. Not only that but there is also a build for the Raspberry Pi albeit with limited functionality.

    It is difficult to see Microsoft taking on Android given its price point, if a buyer is only willing to pay peanuts they have to put up with simian software. In its 1st iteration RT was an iPad beater and as such a much more viable target, they gave up far

    too easily. Not only that but they end up developing for iOS, incomprehensible!

     

    With their announcement and trials of the new Windows 10ARM32 version, in principle would it run on the Surface 2 Specs: Surface 2 uses a 1.7 GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 chipset with 2 GB of RAM - just wondering...?

    Anyone got any thoughts?
