Gustave Monce, the main creator of the WoA project, has released a new set of drivers that allow running Windows 10 and Windows 11 ARM systems on the Surface Duo first generation. The previous version 2207.32 introduced wireless connectivity support, successfully enabling Wi-Fi, cellular, GPS and eSIM.
Now Surface Duo driver release 2207.80 brings several improvements to the core system drivers, initial support for GPU acceleration in WSLg / WSA, support for OS-provided posture device sensors, and added support for cellular phone calls, VoLTE, RCS, VoWiFi, and video call conferencing.

CPU core clock frequency and GPU will be improved in the upcoming release
Although the project has received several improvements and enhancements, it is still far from being ready to replace the original Android for everyday use.
Microsoft officially discontinued support for Windows 10 Mobile a long time ago, but thanks to the efforts of the WoA project developers, there are still developers out there who will be brining in the new system for older Lumia models and new Android models.
Since Microsoft offers a compatible version of Windows 10 for ARM devices, a group of independent developers have been maintaining an unofficial Windows on ARM project for the past few years, which is called WOA. With the release of Windows 11 ARM version, Microsoft has a new system to try.
Starting in 2019, the Lumia Phone Brush Windows 10 ARM (WOA) project, a collection of third-party developers, was previously available on GitHub and contains all projects related to LumiaWOA.
