Windows on Arm64 devices are regular Windows desktop devices, just running on a different CPU architecture. As such, they share the same security policies.
You can disable UEFI Secure Boot just fine on a Surface Pro X, and use custom keys there too. This also applies for devices from other OEMs.
- Nursie 5y agoThis is useful info - I didn't know that they'd eased up now, and assumed they were still playing the locked-down game with at least their own arm devices. So ... theoretically I could put a linux distro or android build on a Surface Pro X?
- djur 5y agoLinux can boot on it, but it's lacking hardware support: https://github.com/Sonicadvance1/linux/issues/27 https://github.com/Sonicadvance1/linux/issues/27
- Nursie 5y agoCool. I'm not exactly interested in getting one, there are enough devices in my life at the moment, but it's definitely an improvement that microsoft are allowing this on their own devices, let alone mandating the entire eco-system follow them, as they previously attempted.
