As it turns out Microsoft developed her own technology which can turn Android mobiles into running devices Windows 10.
In the summer presentation of Window 10, Microsoft unveiled an agreement with Xiaomi, a Chinese manufacturer of mobile devices. According to the plan, some owners of Xiaomi devices, Mi 4, an Android smartphone, will be able to install and test the Windows 10 Technical Preview, to give feedback to Microsoft that will of course affect the functionality of Project.
How, however, does Windows 10 install on an Android device?
According to TechCrunch this can be done with a custom-based ROM. Such ROMs (with read-only memory) can actually install images of an operating system, and are commonly used to replace an operating system of a device with a custom one. For example, CyanogenMod offers a customized Android ROM that can replace the version of an Android operating system that comes with a device. In this case, the flashed ROM will "write" over Android, to turn the device into a complete Windows 10 phone, equipped with the necessary Microsoft services.
Microsoft has confirmed the TechCrunch case, saying that owners of Xiaomi Mi4 devices will be able to "flash" Windows 10 on their devices. "This collaboration between Xiaomi and Microsoft will help us get immediate feedback from users and continue to improve them. "Microsoft is excited that Xiaomi is embracing Windows 10," Microsoft told TechCrunch.
So far, the program is limited to China and only for Xiaomi devices. However, Microsoft reportedly has plans to further roll out custom Windows 10 ROMs to more devices, according to TechCrunch.
Remember that Windows 10 will be released this summer in 190 countries and 111 languages. The upgrade will be free for those using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. The new operating system is designed to run on smartphones, tablets and computers.
