No. Linux uses the rt2800usb kernel module. Driver 51220 is Windows-only.
Q4: The installer says “No Ralink hardware found”. Why?
You extracted a driver-only pack without the installer detection script. Manually update via Device Manager → Browse my computer for drivers → point to the extracted folder containing netr28x.inf.
Q5: Is there a 51220 driver for ARM64 (Surface Pro X, etc.)? No. Ralink never released ARM64 drivers. Your USB adapter will not work on Windows on ARM.
