Windows 10: Microsoft’s Windows 10 X gets ported to Apple MacBook

Microsoft has been promoting Windows 10 X as a tailor-made solution for a new class of foldable devices like the Surface Neo. While Microsoft has never publicly confirmed a laptop-optimized version of 10X, we know that Microsoft plans to bring it to regular clamshell laptops in the near future.

Microsoft’s leaked internal documents had also confirmed that Windows 10 X will have different UI depending on what device you’re using, suggesting that the OS will launch on regular at some point.

Perhaps the most interesting bit of information is that Windows 10 X can be installed on any device including Apple’s MacBook and it runs really well.

On February 11, Microsoft released an early version of Windows 10 X Emulator as the company moves toward the launch of the dual-screen Surface Neo in December 2020.



Some independent developers have managed to install Windows 10 X emulator images on unsupported machines such as the Apple MacBook. Installing Windows 10 on Apple’s widely popular flagship hardware is not the difficult part, the tricky part is getting the OS to actually boot and support the MacBook drivers properly.

A developer who goes by Ben found that Windows 10 X runs smoothly on Apple MacBook and even the gestures are responding properly.



It’s also possible to install the operating system on laptops from other manufacturers. For example, one dev says he was able to install and run Microsoft’s modular OS on his Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, but there are noticeable UI flaws due to the odd configurations enabled in the emulator system image.

As we have previously reported, it’ll be possible to install the OS on any Windows and macOS device but there is more work to be done before getting to that point.

Microsoft currently has no plans to support Windows 10 X on desktops and its viability is uncertain. We’ll just have to wait for Microsoft to shed more light on the future of Windows for laptops, PCs and desktops.

Windows 10 Pro on Apple MacBook Pro

I installed a purchased (from Microsoft) copy of Windows 10 Pro on a new Apple MacBook Pro using Apple's Boot Camp Utility. Windows 10 Pro works perfectly on its partition, except there is no sound. Apple Support was sympathetic but referred me to Microsoft
Support. Microsoft support (in Manila) refused to even speak to me once I told them it was installed on an Apple machine. But, regardless of which vendor's hardware it is on, it is a Microsoft product and, looking into it further, it seems many Windows 10
users have a similar problem with no sound.

Any new ideas?

And, if Microsoft Support is monitoring this community, may I suggest that you not be so contemptuous of your customers.

How to load Apple OS X?

It's much easier to get an Apple machine [I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan] and install virtual machine software then install a version of Windows inside that.
