Huawei’s Microsoft Windows license for PCs expires this month, company launching PCs with Harmony OS: Report

Microsoft's supply license to Huawei is set to expire this month, preventing Huawei from legally producing and selling PCs with the Windows operating system. Without an extension, Huawei may shift towards open-source Linux distributions or further develop its own HarmonyOS. The company is expected to unveil a new PC model in April featuring HarmonyOS and plans to launch an 'AI PC' laptop using its Kunpeng CPU. Additionally, Huawei will introduce the MateBook D16 Linux Edition, transitioning from Windows to Linux. As of February 2025, Windows holds a 70.65% market share in desktop and laptop operating systems, followed by macOS at 16%, Linux at 3.8%, and ChromeOS at 1.81%.

Harmony OS Next doesn’t natively support Android apps, but that hasn’t stopped some people

Huawei has introduced a new tool called "Easy Abroad" for devices running Harmony OS Next, allowing them to launch popular Android applications like Chrome, Gmail, and Spotify. This development comes after Huawei faced restrictions in 2019 that cut off access to Google Mobile Services, prompting the creation of its own ecosystem and the original Harmony OS. The "Easy Abroad" tool is designed primarily for Chinese tourists traveling internationally and enables access to various Android applications from a dedicated app store. Initial reviews indicate that the tool functions well, allowing users to sign into their Google accounts and access services like Google Search and Gmail. However, it has limitations, including potential issues with Play Integrity checks, reliance on microG instead of Google Play Services, restrictions on app installations to whitelisted apps, and limited streaming quality for services like Netflix due to the lack of Widevine L1 DRM support.
