Planned for dual-screen devices, Microsoft Windows 10X to debut on laptops

Microsoft’s Windows 10X will come to single-screen devices like notebooks and desktops. Originally planned for dual-screen devices, the flexible operating system will now debut on single-screen devices, and the technology giant will look for the right moment to bring the dual-screen devices to the market, said the company in a statement.

“The world is a very different place than it was last October when we shared our vision for a new category of dual-screen Windows devices,” Panos Panay, Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer, Windows and Devices, said in a statement late Monday.

“With Windows 10X, we designed for flexibility, and that flexibility has enabled us to pivot our focus toward single-screen Windows 10X devices that leverage the power of the cloud to help our customers work, learn and play in new ways,” he added.
