Basically, it would take a Surface Pro X version of Windows 10 (from recovery media created for one, unless you’re a pirate), and replace the Surface Pro X drivers with those of a Windows RT tablet of your choosing.

This would be even cooler if you could upgrade from Windows RT to Windows 10 without doing a clean install, as if you were installing a Windows 10 feature update.Īnyway, I have an idea for a utility that has this purpose and how it would work. The same could go for other tablets that run Windows RT. All it would probably require is the correct driver support, which should be able to be ported over from Windows RT 8.1, considering that Windows 10 is based on Windows 8.1, and Windows 8.1 and its RT counterpart share the same code base. I’d like it if the version of Windows 10 that runs on the Surface Pro X could be modified to run on the Surface RT, Surface 2, and other Windows RT tablets. The Surface Pro X runs Windows 10, so I think that the basis for running it on Surface RTs and Surface 2s is there. It has a Microsoft-designed ARM CPU, yet it can still run 32-bit Win32 apps via emulation. One of Microsoft’s current Surface tablet models is the Surface Pro X. The tablet has an ARM-based CPU, and therefore runs Windows RT, the sibling of Windows 8 that prevents Win32 applications from being executed. I have an old Microsoft Surface 2 tablet from around 2014.
