Windows 10: Developer shows off Windows 10X running on Lumia, Apple M1, Surface Go

Earlier this month, Windows 10X unreleased build leaked online, giving the public first glimpse at the upcoming operating system with new Start Menu and Action Center. It only took a few days for developers to get it running on a Lumia phone, Surface Go (Intel Core m3), and Apple MacBook with ARM-based M1 processor.

For those unfamiliar, Microsoft first showed off Windows 10X on its work-in-progress Surface Neo, which was supposed to launch in December 2020. Surface Neo and Windows 10X for dual-screen has been delayed to 2022, but the tech giant has confirmed that Windows 10X OS will first come to single-screened devices.

To avoid further delays, Microsoft also removed ‘VAIL’ technology that would have allowed Windows 10X to run Win32 apps.

On a brighter side, this has allowed the company to build Windows 10X natively for ARM-based processors, such as Qualcomm Snapdragon and Apple M1. As a result, some developers managed to run the upcoming OS on ARM-based MacBook, Lumia phone, and Intel-based Surface Go.



Independent developer Ben was able to get Windows 10X running on Apple M1 via QEMU virtualization, and it seems to perform surprisingly well. Like Windows 10 on ARM, Windows 10X is also not designed for Apple MacBook. In fact, the OS was originally meant for Intel-based hardware.

In addition to Apple M1, developers have managed to port Windows 10X to Windows Phone (Lumia 950 XL).



Some ticks were needed to get the operating system run on a Lumia phone natively and it seems to be in a working condition with several limitations.

Another Twitter user also managed to get Windows 10X single-screen version running on a Surface Go.



Windows 10X appears to be working well on these devices, but there are several limitations and issues with Wi-Fi, touch, and drivers.

Likewise, the installation process is also not straightforward and it requires you to be familiar with command line-based tools, such as Command Prompt and PowerShell.

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/341531-windows-10-preview-nokia-lumia-920-a.html
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?

Where's my update (Singapore - M1)

I'm a HTC Trophy user (from Singapore - operation is M1). From the list of international update (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedule-world.aspx), I'm increasingly worried that I won't get mine. M1 is not even listed in
Singapore!

Can someone (from MS) please advise if this is coming to M1 soon?
