How to create a USB Surface RT recovery image to fix Windows RT 8.1 update issue
While the software maker initially had a number of PC manufacturers, including Lenovo, Asus, Samsung and Dell, on board with Windows RT, they have all since abandoned the operating system and discontinued all tablets with ARM processors due to low consumer interest and sales. This left Microsoft with just two devices, the Surface 2 and Lumia 2520, and today the company no longer makes either tablet, quickly making Windows RT an outdated operating system.
Although Microsoft no longer produces Windows RT tablets, those interested in a Nokia Lumia 2520 can visit Microsoft retail stores, MicrosoftStore.com and third-party retailers to secure one while supplies last, according to the company.
Now it's clear that Microsoft's attempt to extend its operating system to ARM-based tablets didn't work. Part of the reason for the failure was the lack of modern apps optimized for touch, the confusing desktop environment that didn't let you run traditional apps, and the not-so-cool name "Windows RT." This led PC makers to opt for small tablets running Windows on Intel processors.
