Android developer Danny Lin, known on Twitter as kdrag0n, has launched Windws 11 on his Google Pixel 6, more precisely, its version for devices with Arm-based CPUs. At the same time, Android 13 DP1 was installed on the smartphone, and this became the key to start Windows.

The fact is that in Android 13, Google will significantly improve the virtualization capabilities. What will happen in the final version is still impossible to say, but even Android 13 DP1 allows you to run Windows 11 Arm. According to the developer, the system works fully, except that GPU hardware acceleration does not work. However, even this did not stop the classic Doom from running on the Pixel 6.
