One of the biggest blunders that Microsoft has suffered in its recent history is their use of Windows RT or Windows 10 Mobile. The Windows 10 version that is running on ARM processors. So why is it a fail? Well, because those device that are running on Windows RT or Windows 10 Mobile can’t run full Windows desktop games and apps like Steam, DOTA 2, Adobe Photoshop, and many more. The only apps that you can run on Windows RT and Windows 10 Mobile are the one that’s available on the Windows Store, which is by the way, only offers a few apps and games.
Well, at the recent WinHEC event that happened in Shenzen, China. Microsoft and Qualcomm has finally joined forces to bring the full Windows 10 to Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Yep, Snapdragon processors, the same processor that is running on your Android smartphones like the LG G5 and ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe will now be able to run Win32 apps through x86 emulation on Windows 10.
So what does that mean? It means that you can now run applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Steam, and many more applications & games.
I’m more curious on how this one will perform on games especially those that requires a lot of power. For now, you can watch the video demo of Windows 10 running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor.
