It has been a while since Microsoft has added features to Windows 10 Mobile and the company has confirmed that it won’t be happening anytime soon. However, this doesn’t stop hackers and Windows enthusiasts from installing different versions of Windows on Windows Phone.

We have seen people installing Windows 10 ARM and other versions of Windows on Windows Phone but for the first time someone has actually managed to get four Operating Systems on a Windows Phone. The Twitter user who goes by the name of Gustave M. has managed to get four OSes on a Windows Phone – Windows 10, Windows 10 IoT Core edition, Windows 8.1 and of course Windows 10 Mobile. This is not the first time Gustave M. has tried something like this on a Windows Phone. He posted a video on both Twitter and YouTube showcasing different OSes on the same device.

Installing a single operating system on a Windows Phone is, of course, old hat by now, though Gus does have it a bit easier by having access to a Hapanero prototype, but if you want to replicate Gus33000’s feat anyway you may want to hit him up here for more info.
