Windows on ARM supports that already[1]. The low traction is probably because of the (sorry) bad hardware. Windows branded ARM as the budget option so nobody wanted it. Then Apple came along and flipped the script.

- mr_toad 4y agoIt’s not just that the hardware was lacking, there was no good solution for running x86 binaries. ARM windows has no Rosetta.

- mappu 4y agoARM Windows (it was actually always THUMB2 Windows) was officially discontinued as of RT, without ever getting the x86_32 emulator let alone the x86_64 one. But unoffically, there is a leaked build of Windows 10 15035 for ARM32, and it's possible to sideload it onto an original Windows RT device. The x86_32 emulator was present in the ARM64 Windows release by this point, but, i don't know if the leaked ARM32 release includes an ARM32 version of the x86_32 emulator.
