That was the first and apparently the last attempt Microsoft ever made to upgrade Windows RT. Ever since that moment, the company adopted some sort of an ostrich policy and never mentioned that issue again. One developer, however, decided not to wait anymore and started a project to create an unofficial Windows 10 Mobile ROM that could be installed on Windows RT devices. He unveiled his plans on the XDA Developers forum and said he was confident he could pull this off thanks to a security flaw he discovered in the Secure Boot of the tablet. The Secure Boot is a the firmware security feature that allows users to install only manufacturer approved software. According to the same developer, this security feature could also allow the installation of other operating systems. For the time being, the developer has not revealed more details about this workaround. Apparently, he is having doubts on how he should unveils this security breach: Thanks! yes, if I dare to disclose the exploit Many Surface RT users have complained that their devices were getting unusable because of the OS and expressed their availability to test out this workaround: a lot of who have first gen surface Rt can benefit with the new OS running on it. Besides if MS is worried abt it they might patch the vulnerability. You can post a tutorial on how to install it on the RT. That’s what xda is/was. Apart from the announcement of this security breach and the affirmation of the moral doubts of the developer, no other information is available. We will check the XDA forum regularly to see what is new in this thread. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
