Everything Explained About Renegade Project

Windows was never designed to operate on mobiles. So, you have to hack the low-level firmware to run Windows. It’s obvious that the aftermarket developers will need to change the main installer. Also, they have to provide device-specific drivers. Without good expertise, performing the essential procedures would be very difficult. So, whenever any developer does it correctly, it is included in collaborative projects like the Renegade Project.

But why is the process to install Windows on Android devices difficult? There are a variety of reasons.

Upgrading custom ROMs on your smartphone is different. But replacing the Board Support Package with a standardized software interface between the OS and platform firmware is a complicated issue. 

Nowadays, bootloader applications on mobile processors support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). But the OEMs often alter the boot process on these systems. As a result, you can’t install any ARM64 UEFI-compatible OS primarily. The Renegade Project helps in this situation. In easy steps, you can install Windows on Android devices.
