I am running Windows 11 on my Surface Pro X and although it is technically a developer beta it is way better than Windows 10 ever was on this ARM machine.

Windows 11 will initially ship without support for Android apps. Being a veteran of BlackBerry 10 I am not holding my breath for Android apps outside of the Google ecosystem.

The free upgrade to Windows 11 starts on October 5 and will be phased and measured with a focus on quality. … We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022.
