    has been garbage for a long time and that windows 10 arm version too many problems from other forums and ms store still wouldn't have any updated programs or browsers other than a few recompiled programs which don't amount to much - may have bricked their surface rt/surface 2 rt trying the instructions involving the bootloader, image, drivers and even if it works very slow with old version of windows 10 and resource hog - my surface rt gen 1 works perfectly with updates till 2023 so i use as very last resort backup but it is more or less a paperweight when much older laptops run linux better. This can't even use linux on the usb ports as bootloader locked and encrypted other than use for this very old version of windows 10
