iPhone is ARM. Google cross compiles most of its code in the last X years. Windows 10 runs on ARM. Not sure why you think it would be a problem.

- Uehreka 7y agoI’d be more concerned about 3rd party developers. It is true that Windows 10 runs on ARM, but from what I’ve heard it’s still kind of rough trying to get a lot of 3rd party apps to run on those laptops. Not to mention the difficulty of trying to get game developers to support Windows+ARM (as opposed to Android or iOS) in large enough numbers that you can fairly say the sentence “you can game on Windows for ARM”. The distinction of “successfully shipping Windows on ARM” is a subjective one and depends on the needs of each user. Although that being said, I don’t think we can really say “ARM laptops have arrived” until they either have great gaming compatibility or great compatibility with some large group of productivity apps. I think they’ll get there, but they aren’t there in January 2020.
