Windows is compatible with computers that run on ARM64 processors. The energy-saving capabilities associated with this ARM CPU architecture let these PCs provide all-day battery life and the ability to integrate support for wireless data networks. These computers also have excellent application compatibility and permit you to run your current x86 win32-based applications without modification.
The built-in Windows applications like Edge, Start menu, File Explorer, and more are all native and run on an ARM64. This includes all devices drivers, such as networking, graphics, and your hard drive. This guarantees you the most enjoyable user experience and longevity of your battery from your device running at maximum native speeds of Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Microsoft Store. Windows on ARM run all x86 or ARM32 UWP ARM64 apps available that are available in Microsoft Store. ARM32, as well as ARM64 apps, work natively and without any emulation. On the other hand, x86 apps operate under emulators. If you're a UWP developer, ensure that you have submitted an ARM package to your app because this will give the most optimal user experience on the device.
Alongside UWP applications, Windows on an ARM can also run Win32 desktop apps natively compiled for ARM64. You can also run existing x86 Win32 applications, unmodified and with excellent performance. An unbeatable user experience similar to any PC. The x86 Win32 apps don't have to be rebuilt for ARM and aren't aware they're operating with one ARM processor.
Windows 10 on ARM PC. Initial support for x86-64 apps was added in version 2177 and is being further developed. If an application's x64 Win32 version isn't working, the vast majority of apps likely include x86 versions to choose from. If you're given the option of app's architecture, select a 32-bit x86 version to run the app's 32-bit version on an ARM PC.
