Support for Windows ARM processors?

[LeiterFanatic]

Just bought a new laptop running a Snapdragon processor and Windows ARM rather than the old X86 based OS.

I know some games are hit and miss as they have to run under Windows emulation under Prism. So far most of my older games run fine but wondered if anyone has experience running OOTP 26 and of there are any issues?

Bought on Steam expecting to refund if there were any issues but it runs fantastic, even the graphics.


Thanks anyway

I don't know much about ARM processors. I understand they're newer and probably better, but are we at a point where if someone was to get a new laptop then they should probably get an ARM? Or no, not really?

I am enjoying it and I haven't found too many issues with legacy software but the X86 library is still King

ARM64 processors aren't all that new. They have been around since 2017. While they have their appeal if you are looking for portability, since they use less power, and as a result run cooler and result in longer battery life. If you are looking for a laptop that is more as a desktop replacement instead, like I use mine, you still much better with the old x86 processors of AMD/Intel. I do not see them in the near future replacing the x86 processor.
