The first preview of Windows 11 is available to Windows Insider. There are two builds of Windows 11 OS for X64 and ARM64 respectively. ARM64 build of Windows 11 is supported by some Qualcomm processor but developers are eager to port it to unsupported devices as well, in this case the OnePlus 6T.
Watch video:
A video showing a OnePlus 6T device booting Windows 11 already had Windows 10 for ARM installed. The report also states that other smartphones powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset could be used to run Windows 11. However, note that you will lose the core functionality of your smartphone such as Bluetooth, speakers and Wi-Fi, while the touchscreen will be supported. Also, USB accessories are also supported.
It also reminds us of the fact that Windows 11 will allow you to use Android apps. Microsoft has partnered with Amazon for Windows 11. This will enable Windows 11 users to access Android apps through the Amazon App Store.
While it’s a big step for Microsoft to introduce Android app support on PC for the first time, it won’t be something that blows you away. That’s because the experience would be like using an Android phone without Google Play Store and Google Services. This is the reason why you might not want to buy a Huawei phone running HarmonyOS and relying on a third party Android app store.
