Windows 11 on the Surface Duo just updated to version 2303.64, adding DisplayPort support through USB-C, the ability to update the Surface Slim Pen charger by plugging it into the Surface Duo with a USB-C cable, and a bunch of improvements.
The Surface Duo is a foldable smartphone that features two displays. This smartphone is designed for multitasking and rocks for things like web browsing, emails, watching videos, and light gaming. The smartphone is meant to run Android but it can also run Windows 11.
Here is everything in the Surface Duo Windows 11 version 2303.64 release notes
Microsoft has been working on Windows 11 on the Surface Duo project for a year now and the company still doesn’t have a smartphone that can support Windows 11 operating system (OS) however, users can only force the Windows 11 OS onto the Surface Duo smartphone.
Recently, Windows 11 on Surface Duo received DisplayPort support via USB-C and users can now update a Surface Slim Pen charger by plugging it into a Surface Duo.
Remember, Surface Duo is meant to run Android, not Windows 11, so users may face bugs and glitches and be limited when a user forces the Windows 11 OS onto the smartphone.
