Greetings,
I have surface RT 32 GB and i'd like to run .exe files on it. I read many articles about this issue but unfortunately its impossible to run .exe files.
Is there a tool to load windows ( 8.1 or 10 ) as a virtual machine on Surface RT ?
Thank you.
RIP

AS OF 11/02/2012 THERE IS NOTHING ON THIS YET. THIS IS JUST TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Well this topic has bound to come up as soon as it was announced Running Windows RT on Android devices.
What boundaries are there?
Limitations?
The first thing that comes to mind (obvious but....) are drivers. Can someone confirm that Windows RT supports mobile radios?
Yup, its supports mobile radios.....
Something related would be WP8 drivers on WRT...........
whats keeping us from just pulling the software and burning it as a bin to a usb drive then booting it on an android
Hi guys!
As you, I'm trying to port Windows RT to Android.
There are good possibilities, but I haven't got a ISO of Windows RT and a Android tablet .
I hope to find a iso as soon as possible.

Hey, what are you talking about?? Windows RT isn't in ISO form. because it is a flashable OS, it's not like Windows 8 or any other desktop OS, but like Windows Phone or Windows Mobile. Maybe flashing WinRT to system with Linux can be possible later, but not now.
Hi!
I am going to buy the Pro version of Surface.. I am not a developer and I don't know much more about technical details.
I read that Windows RT doesn't support .exe files because of ARM CPU, instead of Surface Pro which does it. It's strange to me to accept the idea that Surface Pro, with Intel architecture, supports .exe files and all of Windows Phone apps, developed for ARM devices.
So, It really supports all ARM apps? Thank you all, sorry for my bad english
No Windows 8 device supports Windows Phone apps directly, they have to be ported by the developer to run on a Windows RT/8 device. If you had an app on WP you will have to download a separate Windows version again and if a paid app, will have to pay for it again on Windows.

All Windows Store apps (well, nearly all) are compiled for Arm and x86, and work on Pro and RT.
Windows Phone Store is not the same store, and no windows phone apps run on Windows 8 Pro or RT (well, except under the emulator on Win8 Pro)
Surface Pro is just Windows 8 on x86, like on your laptop or desktop

Yep, just like most Android apps

It's also more common that the ones that aren't compiled for all three architectures are x86 and x64 only, so the Pro will have a slight advantage there.
Also, for what it's worth, the Surface Pro should support Hyper-V, which would mean you could run the Windows Phone 8 emulator on it, but that's probably not what the OP is talking about in running Windows Phone apps.
I would like to start a Mission to re-jail break Windows RT. It has everything needed to run full programs, couldn't we just find and delete the files that are blocking the installation of full desktop programs.........
No. Windows RT, like Windows Phone, is compiled for the ARM architecture. "Desktop Windows Applications" are all compiled to use the x86 instruction set.
Someone previously made a post on virtual machines for RT, has anybody got the idea of porting maybe virtualbox to the RT? or another lightweight VM program. Atleast we could be able to run a very lightweight linux, maybe even windows so we can run exe files.

Virtualbox is too resource intensive to run on RT (even if we could it only supports ARM64).
You are probably thinking of when Bochs was ported and you could somewhat run Windows 95.

IS there away to put pop os on the surface rt? Also I have been following the instructions to put linux on my rt but it says you need to have a computer with linux. is there away to make the bootable us from windows?
Yes, and no. Check OpenRT, the best Surface RT wiki, in my opinion: https://openrt.gitbook.io/open-surfacert/surface-rt/linux
