Kakaotalk PC version for Surface?
I'm thinking of purchasing a Microsoft Surface Go for my dad. Will he be able to download the Kakaotalk PC version or will it be the phone app version? He wanted a tablet (primarily for browsing internet and chatting on Kakao) so I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e but Kakao unfortunately doesn't allow users to access the app on both a phone and tablet simultaneously. However they do seem to allow users to access it on phone and PC at the same time.
As you can tell, I know very little about the Surface. Hope this post makes sense.

You can install the PC version of Kakaotalk on the Go
Oh awesome, thanks for replying! My other question is, will the 4gb/64gb be fast enough for him (primarily using for browsing internet, watching videos/YouTube, chatting on Kakao) for the next couple years? Or should I aim for the 8gb/128gb?
Will we be able to install the PC version of Kakaotalk in the Windows 10 S mode it comes pre-loaded with, or will we have to switch the OS to full Windows 10 Home?
I think for basic consumption the 4/64 may be fine, but personally I would consider a 8/128 the safest bet in case he wants to do some productivity work or if he wants some extra storage space (though there is a microSD slot).
As for installing non-Microsoft store software (such as Kakaotalk), you will need to switch out of S mode (pretty simple, only difference from normal Windows 10 is the restrictions on what you can install on the device).
Is it free to switch from S Mode to regular Windows 10?
Yup.
