They manage to install the Windows 10X emulator on a MacBook Pro: the modular operating system also "works" on a laptop

Windows 10X already appears on the horizon as Microsoft's new challenge It is the engine with which a whole new batch of dual-screen devices headed, in the case of those from Redmond, by the Surface Neo. And so that when it hits the market at Christmas 2020, Windows 10X is ready, they have released an emulator to make the task easier for developers.

Windows 10X is a modular operating system, it is its raison d'être, since it must adapt its interface to dual-screen devices with differences among them.What we could not come to think of is that it could work on a MacBook Pro as well as can be seen in this video on Twitter.

Windows 10X on a MacBook Pro

And that's because a developer, @imbushuo, has managed to install a Windows 10X emulator image on a MacBook Pro and it is harder, you've got everything working properly. The operating system boots and supports Apple MacBook drivers.

Being an operating system designed for modular, dual-screen devices, the result on a traditional computer is what we see. The screen appears divided, there we have the two screens, the emulator showing an application on one of the two sides while on the other part of the screen we see the zone control panel and various menus.

In the video you can see how Windows 10 X works without problems on the MacBook Pro, executing different actions with the trackpad, including gestures .An operation that is always fluid. To achieve this, he has used a version of Windows 10X based on version 2004 on a MacBook with Intel Core m3 CPU and 8 GB of RAM. The only requirement is that Secure Boot can be disabled on the device to boot to the Windows 10 desktop.

On more devices

But the fact is that Apple's MacBook Pro is not the only computer on which they have carried out tests installing Windows 10X It is the case of NTAuthority, a user who has successfully installed the Microsoft operating system on a Lenovo ThinkPad T480s. Of course, unlike the previous one, the final performance does not offer an equally optimal result.

It is understandable, since Windows 10X is still in an early stage of development These tests, however, serve to make us wonder if the new Microsoft's modular operating system may have more travel than we think and can be expanded to more types of devices.
