WOALite x86 Edition - Version 1.0 (based on Windows 10 Insider 19536) - 25/12/2019
Still a lot to strip down and optimize before we can really get the most out of Windows 10 Lite on low-end ARM hardware; nevertheless, now would be a good time to start testing and providing feedback on features and bugs. The Lumia 950XL version will come in the New Year together with some custom RPi versions depending on what features/components you may like to vote on… Merry Christmas!
