Ipo iyo Surface Pro modhi yakatibvumidza kumhanyisa vhezheni yeWindows kusvika pamakumi matanhatu nemasere pasina matambudziko, iyo Surface RT yakagadzirirwa kushanda paARM processor ine 32-bit dhizaini uye yakagara ichionekwa semutsivi weWindows CE.
Windows RT yakagadzirirwa zvishandiso zvakagadzirirwa iyi sisitimu yekushandisa uko zviwanikwa zvinodiwa nehurongwa zviri zvishoma uye zvine pachena isingakwanise kumhanyisa kuisa desktop desktop. Kunyangwe paine zvikanganiso izvo isu Windows RT zvinotipa, Microsoft yakafunga kuvhara mukana wekuisa wechitatu-bato kunyorera uye yakangobvumira kuisirwa kwekushandisa kunowanikwa muWindows application chitoro, mafomu aionekwa nenhamba yavo yepasi. Uku kukamurwa kana zvasvika pakuisa chechitatu-bato kunyorera, pamwe nekusaita kwavo kuita uye kushomeka kwemakwikwi nevamwe vagadziri, zvakamanikidza Microsoft kuti ikurumidze kusiya zano.
Pakutanga, iyi sisitimu yekushandisa yaisangoitirwa mapiritsi ekambani chete asi zvakare Chinangwa cheMicrosoft chaive chekuuya nacho kumafoni ekambani, zvisinei nekugadzira iyi vhezheni yeWindows kuitira kuti nharembozha dzine zviwanikwa zvishoma zvishandise mukana wesimba rinopihwa neiyi sisitimu inoshanda. Iyo yega mukana waakapa pamusoro pevakwikwidzi yaive kugona kubatanidza huwandu hwakawanda hwezvipenga uye zvishongedzo kuburikidza ne USB kubatana.
Microsoft payakaunza Windows 10 Nhare semutsivi kune isina kubudirira Windows Phone 8.xlIyo kambani yakazivisa kuti iyi vhezheni ichaenderana nemidziyo yese nemaARM processor zvekuti mapiritsi ese akaunzwa nekambani neWindows RT anogona zvakare kuve chimwe chinhu chinopfuura chepepa repepa raakange ave nekuda kwerudzi runotyisa rwehurongwa hwekushandisa hwaikwanisa. Uye zvakare, nekufamba kwenguva, Microsoft yakazadza chitoro chekushandisa kuitira kuti nhasi isu titokwanisa kuwana huwandu hukuru hwezvishandiso zvinoenderana nemidziyo inoenderana neARM yekuvakisa
