The Windows You Know and Love
This project brings the Windows 10 or Windows 11 desktop operating system to your Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.
It's the same edition of Windows you're used to on your traditional laptop or desktop computer, but it's the version for ARM64 (armv8a) processors.
It can run ARM64, ARM, x86 and x64 applications (the last two via emulation) just fine.1
