'''Windows RT''' is a [[mobile operating system]] developed by [[Microsoft]]. It is a version of [[Windows 8]] or [[Windows 8.1]] built for the [[ARMv7|32-bit ARM architecture]] (ARMv7).<ref name="The Windows RT Review">{{cite web|url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/6392/the-windows-rt-review/3|title=The Windows RT Review|last1=Gowri|first1=Vivek|last2=Lal Shimpi|first2=Anand|date=October 25, 2012|website=Anandtech.com|access-date=October 29, 2013}}</ref> First unveiled in January 2011 at [[Consumer Electronics Show]], the Windows RT operating system was officially launched
on August 26, 2012, with the release of three Windows RT-based devices, including Microsoft's [[Surface (2012 tablet)|original Surface tablet]]. Unlike Windows 8, Windows RT is only available as preloaded software on devices specifically designed for the operating system by [[original equipment manufacturer]]s (OEMs). Normal apps such as [[Google Chrome]] can't be downloaded on Windows RT through any [[web browser]], the only way to get apps on Windows RT is by using the [[Windows Store]], which is an app store for [[Microsoft Windows]], starting from [[Windows 8]] and [[Windows 8.1]] and is also compatible with some version of [[Windows Server]] operating systems, such as [[Windows Server 2012]] and [[Windows Server 2012 R2]].
== Support status ==
Mainstream support ended on January 9, 2018. In 2021 [[Microsoft]] said it’ll stop providing security updates and support for Windows RT after January 10, 2023 (EOL date).
