What is we could use the Windows 10 OS on Xbox? How would it work?

Windows OS on Xbox

So I just had this cool idea where you can install Windows on an Xbox. I got this idea after realizing that my Xbox One S has way better specs than my computer. So I started wondering if I could use my Xbox to run my computer. I found nothing...

So I just came up with an idea that could help a lot of PC gamers with bad desktops/laptops. Since Xbox is Microsoft, it would be hard for the developers to work together on an application for the Xbox that you can install for free, assuming you already have Windows 10 or newer (if read in the future for when/if Windows 11 becomes a thing). So while all of that is happening, a very small update is being made that basically adds a new feature for people who own Windows 10 (or newer), where in the settings, if you go to the devices category, there is a new tab where you can setup everything for the application (haven’t thought that far ahead). But there will be this button that says something like “Show activation code” , and once you press that button, you’ll have to enter your PIN or Microsoft password, then you get shown a code.

So the application that would be made for the Xbox, would have the entire Windows 10 OS in it, but to use it, you need to prove that you actually own a copy of Windows 10 (this could be Windows 10, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Office, etc, or newer) When you open the application, your are asked for your activation code. So you take the code that your PC showed you, and type it in (I forgot to mention that if you buy a copy of Windows OS and don’t have a laptop, you could just use that code you just bought too).

(If you own a PC) Once it accepted the code, you will be given 2 options. You can import all files from your computer to the Xbox, or just start as if you just bought a new computer. Only thing on it would be Edge, and your Microsoft account.

(If you bought a copy of Windows) Assuming the code was accepted, you will have to go through the basic setup as if you just bought a computer.

There could be multiple ways to navigate the application at this point, you could plug in a mouse and keyboard and use them as if it’s a computer, or you could use the Xbox controller (I’ll let Microsoft configure mapping the controller buttons).

So if a user had a monitor that supports high refresh rates (75hz, 120hz, 144hz, 240hz, etc.), you could just right click the main screen with your mouse and there could be a new tab in the normal right click thingy, that says “Display Customization”. When click, a window opens up and you could configure your display to the way you like it (by default, everything is on the highest setting for best quality) If the user wants to, they could change the display resolution, refresh rate, color, etc.

Once everything is setup, the user can do whatever they want, just as if it was a Windows 10 (or newer) computer.

If the user wants to change the Windows OS they can navigate to the same tab in the settings and there could be a button that says “Change Windows version”. Then if you want to change it, the process would repeat. Enter code, configure everything, use Windows OS on an Xbox.

That’s my idea and if Xbox or Microsoft sees this, please contact me so we can discuss anything. Email: therandomjedi@gmail.com
