I found no solution to replace Internet Explorer on my surface 32 Bit ARM-Processor.

I tried to install the RT Jailbreak Tool for Windows RT 8.0 But that one doesn't seem to work on my Surface with Windows 8.1 (it starts o bootup a cmd window and after 2 minutues it shows it cannot fiind a registry entry and closes.)

I tried to install some of the list of x86 app compiled for ARM. I found QupZilla, which should run on ARM, but I already were unable to install 7zip on Windows RT by downloading the binaries of 7-zip ARM version from here: http://file.wizrd.tk/7ZARM.zip

How can I install any other browser than IE, like Firefox, Chrome or any other alternative like QupZilla?

  • Without them releasing a version for Windows RT you probably cannot. The ARM processor is not the same as the one that is in a laptop or desktop PC and as a result the ARM based surface tablets run a very cut-down version of Windows. cnet.com/news/…

You have only one option available to you - downgrade to Windows RT 8.0, jailbreak it and install the desktop apps you want that have been recompiled for Windows on ARM.
