Windows RT will receive some Windows 10 functionalities, Microsoft has confirmed.

During Wednesday's (January 21) briefing, the company was vague about the system's fate, telling reporters that it is "working on an update for Windows RT as well".

In a statement to CNET, Microsoft gave a little more information away, saying: "Surface Pro 3 (and the entire Surface Pro lineup) will update to Windows 10.

"We are working on an update for [the Windows RT version of] Surface, which will have some of the functionality of Windows 10. More information to come."

The system was first released in 2012 and was meant to serve as a promising, slimmed-down version of Windows 8 using 32-bit ARM architecture.

However, lack of significant industry backing from the start and poor product performance lead to its demise.

Windows 10 will be available to Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 as a free upgrade in its first year.
