Installing other operating systems on the Nintendo Switch seems to be the next big challenge for developers around the world. After the successful development of Android and Linux, now someone has managed to install Windows 10 on the game console.
With one tweet the user imbushuo, sent two photos showing him working on installing Windows 10 on a Nintendo Switch. The news may not have had much value if o user imbushuo had not announced his previous work on installing Windows 10 for ARM on the Lumia 950 XL.
The photos reveal that the OS can indeed be deployed on the device, although for now it stumbles into a crash and fails to boot with a blue screen error.
These are likely installation issues that will be addressed very soon, so it's likely theme time until Windows 10 for ARM is fully functional on the device. The Nintendo Switch itself comes with an ARM chipset, which means that its execution versionARM-based Windows 10 should be technically possible, with a custom UEFI firmware and the right drivers.
Needless to say, these ideas usually receive acceptance and support from most developers around the world, as has been the case in previous cases.
UEFI firmware used to run Windows 10 for ARM on Nintendo Switch is available at GitHub for anyone who wants to support the idea and contribute to its development.
