A qualified guess would be that you can just install it, because the bootloader is Microsoft signed so it would pass the secure boot check.

Edit: Apparently Surface 2 isn't AArch64, so probably not.

That assumes that:

(1) Microsoft makes generic install media available (rather than just device-specific restore media, for devices that ship with Windows 10 ARM), and

(2) Windows 10 ARM will run on ARMv7 devices, rather than being restricted to ARMv8 (AArch64) devices.

As far as i understand it, this needs an 64bit ARM SoC?
