The last year’s Mi Pad 5 series was quite popular. It featured the standard Mi Pad 5, and the more expensive Mi Pad 5 Pro models. The Mi Pad 5 came with some great internals, however, what could be better than making the experience spicier by flashing another operating system to the tablet? Well, someone in China has made it a reality by flashing Windows 11 on their Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 tablet.
Windows 11 running on Mi Pad 5, which came out of the box with Android; How is that even possible? Well, not only it is possible on Mi Pad 5 but on many other devices including Lumia 950, Lumia 950 XL, Mi 8, OnePlus 6T, Mi MIX 2, Mi 6, Surface Duo / Duo 2, and others.
There is a group of independent developers that brings unofficial Windows on ARM processors. We have seen many ARM devices getting Windows 10, and now they are bringing Windows 11.
A Chinese user has exposed their Mi Pad 5 device running on the Windows 11 operating system. The exact model of the device is Mi Pad 5 (6GB+128GB), and the system version number is Windows 11 arm64 Build 25252.1010.
Mi Pad 5 Windows 11 project was in development since February
This is not the first time we are hearing that there is a Mi Pad 5 with Windows 11. In February, we first got the news that a user has flashed the Windows 11 OS to Mi Pad 5. However, it was not the best experience. There were quite a bunch of bugs and glitches; especially the lack of GPU drivers made it worst.
However, the latest news is that Mi Pad 5 can now run Windows 11 efficiently. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, touch screen, GPU, high refresh, sensor, battery, charging, and so forth are now working fine.
How to flash Windows 11 on Mi Pad 5?
Now let’s be honest, flashing Windows 11 on an Android tablet sounds great, but it is not the most practical thing. You may end up with a bricked device, or something barely useable.
