What is Windows RT?

Windows RT was a version of the Windows operating system designed for devices with ARM architecture, such as certain tablets and mobile devices. It was introduced by Microsoft with the release of Windows 8 in 2012. The “RT” in Windows RT stood for “Runtime”, and it represented a platform that primarily ran applications developed for the modern Windows Runtime environment.

One of the key differences between Windows RT and other versions of Windows (like Windows 8 or later versions) was that Windows RT could only run applications that were specifically designed for the ARM architecture and obtained from the Windows Store. Traditional desktop applications designed for x86 architecture, which were compatible with regular Windows versions, could not be installed or run on Windows RT.

Windows RT came bundled with a version of Microsoft Office that was optimized for touch-based devices, making it a suitable choice for productivity-focused tablets. However, due to limitations in terms of software compatibility and the availability of apps compared to the regular Windows version, Windows RT faced challenges and did not gain widespread adoption. Microsoft eventually discontinued Windows RT, and subsequent versions of Windows, such as Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, focused on a more unified experience across different device architectures.
