WOA Device Manager app

If you want to tweak your Surface Duo device, you can always try a new operating system other than Android. Why not Windows 11, for instance? With the WOA Device Manager app, you can easily install Windows 11 on Surface Duo devices.

The best thing? The app can be found on the Microsoft Store, and with it, you can upgrade your Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 to support Windows 11.

This app is not a regular tool; it links Android smartphones and the stylish, modern Windows 11 interface. With this application, you can perform full-flash updates and service drivers, boot into various modes such as fast boot or recovery mode (adb reboot bootloader), unlock your bootloader, and much more.

This program’s design aligns with the principles of Windows 11, and its interface is simple to use. It offers an appealing choice for those who are ready for change. However, swapping Android for Windows 11 is not a job for the weak-hearted, and if you’re now knowledgeable in how to work with technology, you might want to skip this experiment.

The WOA Device Manager app has been updated, its bugs fixed, and an update notification banner has been added. It can now service drivers on the attached device; there is a useful overlay that shows the active driver letter when the device is in mass storage mode. If you want to customize more, you have choices: specify a custom UEFI image or pick a custom driver package.

If you are curious about this project’s development, you can download the app for free in the Microsoft Store or from GitHub. But you can always try more conventional ways to turn your Duo into a desktop device if that’s your thing.
