- Tiny11 has been installed successfully on an iPad Air m2
- The lightweight version of Windows 11 works on Apple Tablet via emuline
- However, do not expect anything distant close to smooth benefit levels
In the ongoing quest to have software (or games – usually doom) running on unexpected devices, a fresh twist has emerged as someone has managed to get Windows 11 running on an iPad air.
Windows Central noted that the achievement achieved using Tiny11, a lightweight version of Windows 11, which was installed on an iPad air with M2 chip.
NTDEV, the developer of Tiny11, was behind this effort and used the Arm64 variant of their Slimline Take on Windows 11.
So is Windows 11 impressive on an iPad Air? No, with a word. The developer is waiting for over a minute and a half for the desktop to appear and Windows 11’s features (task manager, settings) and apps are loading pretty sluggish – but they work.
The illustrative YouTube clip below gives you a good idea of what to expect: It’s far, far from a smooth experience, but it’s still a little better than the expected developer.

Analysis: Make things to hell of it
This removed incarnation of Windows 11 certainly runs better on an iPad air than it did on an iPhone 15-Pro, something NTDEV demonstrated in the past (Start of us took 20 minutes on a smartphone).
As mentioned at first, however, sometimes results in the tech world are simply about wondering that something can be done at all, rather than having any practical value.
You don’t want to use Windows 11 on an iPad (or actually iPhone) this way, anyway, just the same way you don’t want to play Doom on a toothbrush, even if possible (would you?).
It also emphasizes NIFTINESS of Tiny11, the bloating -free roof on Windows 11, which has been around for a few years now. If you need a more streamlined version of Microsoft’s latest operating system, Tiny11 certainly delivers (which has some security -related warnings in mind).
There are all kinds of acquisitions on this app, including a ridiculously slim version of Tiny11 (which comes in on a featherweight 100MB). And of course, Arm64 -Spin used in this iPad Air demonstration, which we have previously seen installed on Raspberry Pi.
