Fortunately, there are very zealous Windows hackers and developers who have never given up hope, even after Microsoft dropped the ball on Windows 10 Mobile. Gustave Monce, for example, has ported Windows 10, the full desktop version, to the Nokia Lumia 950 XL. Now he’s doing the work to get Windows 11 running on the original Surface Duo, with increasingly positive results.
Monce shared the latest update on this effort on Twitter, revealing the latest version of Windows utilizing both of the Duo’s screens as if one is an extension of the other. Interestingly, the video also proves how Windows 11 itself was made from the guts of what would have been Windows 10X, the version that should have run on the Surface Neo and other dual-screen Windows PCs. That explains the rather odd layout of the taskbar, for example, with everything crowding near the middle rather than the left-justified design that Windows has used since Windows 95.

It isn’t working perfectly well, though, with touch remaining the biggest missing feature. Those might be easier to fix now that Windows 11 is finally running on both screens. Sadly, this work focuses only on the OG Surface Duo, which has weaker hardware than the Surface Duo 2. Hopefully, porting to the more recent device will be easier once everything is in working condition.
