I use this daily, but it does seem rather absurd that the only way to run Windows ARM on a high-end laptop is... to buy an Apple product, boot an Apple OS, fire up a third-party VM, and then run Windows inside that. (You can't even get a Surface Pro X with more than 16GB of memory.)
Meanwhile Microsoft ships apps that don't work on ARM, like Flight Simulator.
- chucke1992 2y agoNot sure what this game has to do with "Microsoft shipping apps".
- trollbridge 2y agoFlight Simulator is a Microsoft app. It doesn't work on Windows Arm. If Microsoft is serious about Arm as a platform, the least they can do is make sure one of their most iconic game titles works on Windows Arm.
- _cenw 2y agoMSFS is made by Asobo, who aren't actually a Microsoft-owned studio. The name is just tradition at this point.
- chucke1992 2y agoIt does not work on Windows ARM because it is a game that was develop for a regular Windows and consoles. It is not the "app".
- sixothree 2y agoSurface Pro has a 32 gb model.
- trollbridge 2y agoIsn't it x86? If you want a fully spec'd out Arm laptop, you're stuck with Apple.
- sixothree 2y agoYes. And the new ARM surface has a 32 GB option as well.
