Not very well, but that’s not the point
Windows is full of phone-based surprises, lately. For example,Windows 11natively supportsAndroid apps. It also turns out both Windows 10 and Windows 11 can be installed on phones with ARM and Snapdragon chipsets. And we’re not talking about the old Windows Phone OS, either. This is proper, desktop Windows. That’s a route that eventually leads down a certain path.

Here’s the listof gamesthat they’ve tested. There’s no Doom on there, which undermines the entire premise, frankly.
