Questions tagged [windows-rt]

Windows RT is a version of Windows 8 for ARM devices. Use this tag only for questions about Windows RT. For questions about the Windows Runtime ("WinRT"), use [windows-runtime].

Windows RT is a version of Windows 8 running on devices with ARM architecture. Microsoft's reference implementation of the Surface tablet provides Windows RT and offers a NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core running at 1.30GHz with 2.00GB of RAM.

The OS isn't typically sold in a box or as a download, but rather preinstalled on a device - typically a slate tablet.

The main difference from other Windows 8 versions is that it does not allow to install old -based desktop applications, only -based , except some Microsoft applications like Office or system ones.
