Windows on ARM Support
« on: June 01, 2024, 01:59:50 pm »

Just inquiring.

There should be many benefits to the platform in the audio realm.  Will be developing using the ARM chips and am awaiting a unit.

Any chance of direct support?

Thanks

I am also interested by this question.
I intend to buy the new microsoft arm base surface 11. Will JRiver work through emulation ?

I would imagine it'd work through Windows' x86 emulation though things like drivers (e.g. the WDM driver) may not work.

Yep. The driver for WDM may be problematic. In theory most things should be okay. Apple's system for this has been in the wild for a while now without many problems, and as a side note MS actually made huge strides in the real time translation space ages ago for the 360, their implementation of x86 to PPC for original Xbox backwards compatibility is frankly really smart.

Windows on ARM is cool, I'm glad something is finally coming to fruition. ARM isn't my bag but some of these new chips are really stellar.

I don't think you'll get an ARM native build though but realistically none of that should matter if it's compatible. The overhead, in other implementations of x86 to ARM have not been horrifying.

I've been fitting editors with the Apple M processors for a while, unless they need a workstation at their desk or have absurd requirements, that's my go to now. They have been basically complaint free on my end.  Stellar performance if your main use case is editing. I'm not supporting the OS / software side really (not a mac chick anymore), these guys figure it out just fine.
