Windows 11 Phone? | Tiny11 Pro 22H2 on the Lumia 950XL

Hello everyone in this video we will be installing Windows 11 on a Phone from 2015. The Phone in question is the Lumia 950XL, a Windows 10 Mobile Phone with a Snapdragon 810 and 3GB of RAM. We will be using NTDEVs Version of Windows 11 Pro 22H2 called Tiny 11 in its ARM version. Tiny11 is a super fast stripped down version of Windows 11. Similar to the HTC HD2 that was also a solid phone let down by its operating system. People have been porting al sorts of operating systems onto the HTC HD2. And the same has happened with the Lumia 950XL. People ported, Android, Linux, Windows X, Windows 10 on arm etc. onto it. Since I saw a post of a stripped down Windows 11 on arm (called tiny 11 from NTDEV) running on the Raspberry Pi I thought why now try it on this phone.

Hey cool, an ARM version of Tiny11. And you have an HD2, always wanted one. Great video, well done!

[HipsterBlackMetalOfficial]

Too sick. I would love to see Microsoft release another windows phone other than the android based one.

[UnwantedCommentary]

I love how nerdy and appreciative of old tech this is

[MizeLOL]

500 subs only???? wth!! i thought like, you had at least 100k, by the video quality!!!

[chancelord]

I like that you said that it was powered by the 810 chip and at the same exact time on your always-on display it said 8:10 on the clock, that was satisfying

[kBofFun]

Just give it a try as daily driver. I still use it that way. Nothing wrong with it. The absence of apps is actually a big plus, it transforms you into the next gen post-smartphone human.

The quality of the video is on a different level altogether considering your subscribers. I am honestly subscribed

Oh man, the HD2... What a dream phone that was for people who were into modding

[petershillito]

I had a HTC HD2 for a while and enjoyed experimenting with different operating systems on it. I used it for a long time with Windows Phone 7, only getting a new phone when Windows Phone 8 and the Nokia Lumia 920 released, which had a mail in bonus for a wireless charger (Windows Phone got into that super early). I was gutted when my HD2 finally died, and even then it was just the charge port that stopped working. My 920 is still kicking with a broken microphone though and I bought a 950 XL just to experiment with not long ago so hearing about Tiny11 is really cool. Definitely giving this a try later.

I love the vibe here haha and I REALLY MISS MY LIVE TILES

[Evie]

I freaked out when you said HTC HD1 at first haha

+ This is a GREAT video, it was so fun too see the process and the end result, you deserve loads more subs :D

My lumia stop at reset protection key 5ys ago
How can I fix it???

926 If i recall correctly, you still get this on the windows 11 installer if you continue to hit F12 after selecting the USB device, basically it is a sub menu that allows you to select multiple ISOs if you have it set up that way.
I think the menu still pops up even if you use the microsoft media creation tool with only the one ISO

Hey.. am a big fan of windows phone. Sad that they don't make it anymore. I was wondering can I have the Windows mobile OS in today's phone? I really love their UI.

[harrythezomby]

great video mate! good luck on all your future tech tinkering endeavours

[agostinhomatos]

The biggest problem of installing an unsupported OS on Lumia phones, is not that the OS starts and runs as this video proved, but whether the windows 11 Tiny kernel does support and allows the function of typical smatphones components as the camera, the wifi, etc., and these functionalities were not shown to work on this video.

When I deploy it's getting error file not found

[shivjoy]

this looks like an exciting Sunday afternoon experiment! The camera of 950XL is outstanding even by today's standards and it probably becomes unusable after the Win 11 installation ? Is a rollback of windows 10 mobile possible once I am done with ?

[AndreasGoettsche]

Where do you have the flashfile from ?

[rezqiano]

That was entertaining & educational. Good video. Subscribed immediately after watching.

I wish this phone is easy to find in my country.
