HUAWEI Ditches Windows, Will Use HarmonyOS on Laptops

HUAWEI to Replace Windows with HarmonyOS on Laptops HUAWEI CEO Richard Yu has announced that the company will soon transition its computers from Windows to its proprietary operating system, HarmonyOS. This decision stems from the ongoing US sanctions that restrict HUAWEI's access to certain Western technologies, including processors, software, and chip-making tools. According to Yu, these sanctions have led to financial losses, prompting the company to reduce its reliance on third-party technologies and components. Shifting away from Windows is a significant step in this direction. HUAWEI has already successfully implemented HarmonyOS on its smartwatches and smartphones. The next phase will involve bringing the operating system to PCs and laptops, which currently run on Windows. However, it remains unclear whether this transition to HarmonyOS will be a global initiative or limited to devices sold in HUAWEI's domestic market.
