The version of Windows 10 optimized for ARM processors has opened the field of possibilities and continues to stimulate the creativity of some developers who are trying things that were still unimaginable a few years ago. This is how the OS was installed on the Raspberry Pi. A hacker has also succeeded in replacing Android by Windows 10 on the OnePlus 6T. But, do you believe that it’s possible to install it on a calculator? Well, a developer named Ben (@imbushuo on Twitter) had the crazy idea to try the adventure.
The calculator that is the subject of this hack is an HP Prime Graphing Calculator. As its name suggests, it is a more advanced graphing calculator than a conventional scientific calculator. However, there are still many obstacles.
This hacker managed to run Windows 10 IoT Core on a calculator
According to Ben, the calculator was hacked to install Windows 10 IoT Core, a version of the OS that is a clear expression of Microsoft’s desire to make its system multi-platform. This edition can work on small objects with or without a display like connected thermostats, Smart Hubs, connected locks, etc.
