By using custom UEFI software, Windows drivers and UEFI developers are coming closer together in realizing the ability to install Windows 10 on Nintendo Switch.

Accordingly, the driver developer and the famous UEFI Windows software Bingxing Wang has now begun to deploy a UEFI for Nintendo Switch through the EDK II software development environment. When Nintendo Switch uses ARM chipsets, the developer hopes to be able to create a way to convert Windows 10 on ARM to the gaming platform.

The developer has said that his project will still "need to be cleaned up and fixed, and needs to develop additional compatibility with ACPI and USB". However, it is interesting to see that hackers can force software and hardware to do things that are not always designed to be compatible with each other, so the project of Bingxing Wang has received very much much support from the community.
