Default Windows 10X has already been installed on a MacBook and a Surface Go

Microsoft’s Windows 10X operating system isn’t even out yet, but
it’s already been installed on a MacBook and a Surface Go. The
software maker released its Windows 10X emulator earlier this
week, and people have managed to take this OS image and extract
it and tweak it on real hardware.

One developer has installed Windows 10X on a MacBook, and a
brief video shows that it appears to run well. Microsoft is
designing Windows 10X to run on dual-screen devices, but it
simply treats the MacBook as a single display and splits it in
half so apps run on either side. It even appears to support
casting to external displays.

Another developer managed to get Windows 10X running on
Microsoft’s Surface Go device, even though driver support is
minimal. There’s a full guide for the steps to install Windows
10X on real hardware, but you’ll need to be familiar with
PowerShell commands, hard drive partitioning, and a lot more if
you want to experiment. Given how early Windows 10X is, we’d
highly recommend not trying to install it on real hardware
unless you really enjoy playing with beta software and can
easily recover the original operating system on your device.

Microsoft is planning to release Windows 10X later this year on
dual-screen devices. It will be preinstalled on tablets like the
Surface Neo, and Microsoft has released this emulator primarily
to allow developers to get their apps ready in time. We got a
first look at Windows 10X earlier this week, and you can read
our hands-on to see how Microsoft is modernizing Windows.

Windows10X means it contains 10 times the spyware of Windows 10.

What's the upside of 10X, versus 10, on a single screen device, that
lacks electronic ink capability?
