About two months ago, a third-party interest team successfully ran Windows 11 on the Microsoft Surface Duo dual-screen mobile device. Although the pre-installed system is Android, this does not prevent a group of adventurers from trying to continuously improve the support for Windows 11 for it.
The latest news is that Gustave Monce attached a demo video of running Windows 11 on the Surface Duo in a tweet on Sunday, and the current progress has far exceeded our expectations.
A big regret at the moment is that the touch screen driver for Surface Duo on the Windows 11 platform has not been fixed. Even so, he managed to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in the background.

As the video shows, the system runs fairly smoothly and responds to actions. I believe that over time, the transplant team can resolve this embarrassment quite perfectly. However, at this stage, we do not recommend ordinary Surface Duo buyers to do so, so as not to affect the original warranty of the device.
On the other hand, fans who were worried that Windows 10 Mobile was put into the cold palace have rekindled their fervent hope for the “Windows 10X” project in the comment area.
