Notes: Shipped in Windows 10 and Android tablets; many Windows devices use 32-bit UEFI firmware. It is not on Microsoft's Windows 11 supported-processor lists for 24H2 or 25H2, and 26H2 keeps the same requirements, so Windows 10 is the newest supported Windows release. Mainstream Linux distributions run on it, although device support varies by tablet.
