Windows 11 already running on the Lumia 950XL: Update - not yet

What the category of what is dead may never die, it did not take long for the Lumia 950XL to get Microsoft’s as yet unreleased operating system, Windows 11.

The usual suspects, who have already loaded Windows 10 and Windows 10x on the 2015 handset, have now managed to get Windows 11 running, despite some users with regular laptops struggling still.

I mean if you're asking, this is from yesterday. Just didn't have time this week so far, rather busy. pic.twitter.com/P9TIcp4n5p

We do not know yet how well the operating system runs on the handset, however, with the leaked version appearing to lack a proper tablet mode.

Given the skill of the developers however I suspect it will not be too long before fans can download an image from Github.

Update: Unfortunately it’s a bit too early. Gustave has now revealed that as an ARM build for Windows 11 has not leaked yet, the image he has posted was simply of RDP’ing into a W11 PC.  Maybe in a few months.

It isn't ARM64 Windows 11 running natively on this device, this wasn't the point. I got asked for videos about how the UI reacted on here, and I plan on doing this by next week so you can get a sense of how well it adapts (spoiler, it is better than windows 10).

I do confess it might also be my fault for not providing more context about it but I barely had free time this week unfortunately, and next time i'll try to improve on this. Sorry again.
