my roommate's new Microsoft Surface Hub is running a wacky version of Windows 10 that popped up a "You need to download something from the store to support this file!" message when I tried to run a win64 exe.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A WINDOWS THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT RUNNING EXES?

and this is an x86 computer here, not some weird ARM nonsense.

it's running "Windows 10 Team edition", a very specific and weird SKU

It's the most infuriating and useless version of Windows I've ever used.

and for context I've recreationally run Windows ME before. My autobiography is being written on Windows 95.

It's my roommate's Surface Hub. It's a 3 or 2S, we're not 100% sure yet.

@gewt @foone that kinda fits with how their progress bars used to work though
