Microsoft Launches “Windows 10 On ARM” — Gives 20+ Hours Of Battery Life To Laptops

There had been numerous rumors in the past which suggested that Microsoft is working on bringing Windows 10 operating system to ARM-based processors. It had already made a similar effort in the past with Windows RT but failed badly. It looks like Microsoft is eager to try out ARM one more time.

With the launch of new Windows 10 for ARM, Microsoft has brought a new operating system that can run on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips and others. Moreover, now you can run any app on the OS, unlike Windows RT. However, the realization of UWP apps will be better.

With Windows 10 for ARM release, Microsoft has partnered with a bunch of OEMs like Asus and HP to launch a new category of devices named “Always Connected Devices.”
