Peripherals and devices only work if the drivers they depend on are built into Windows 10, or if the hardware developer has released ARM64 drivers for the device. If a driver doesn’t work, the app or hardware that relies on it won’t work either (at least not fully). Drivers are software programs that communicate with hardware devices-they’re commonly used for antivirus and antimalware software, printing or PDF software, assistive technologies, CD and DVD utilities, and virtualization software. For more info, check with the hardware manufacturer or the organization that developed the driver.
Such apps could be deal-breaker for many users. Windows Fax and Scan won’t work on Pro X. Cisco An圜onnect client which is critical for many enterprises users won’t work on Pro X. For example, it was recently reported that Dropbox app won’t work on Surface Pro X. Even if someone wants to buy this device after knowing its limitations, there is no definite way to learn which apps will run and which apps won’t. I don’t understand how an average consumer visiting a Microsoft Store will come to know about this huge limitation before buying the device. New 64-bit apps are coming to ARM 64 all the time. Microsoft has mentioned the below in the footnotes section of the Surface Pro X product listing page:Īt this time, Surface Pro X will not install 64-bit applications that have not been ported to ARM64, some games and CAD software, and some third-party drivers or anti-virus software. Surface Pro X will not install 64-bit applications that have not been ported to ARM64. One of the main limitations of Surface Pro X is its app support.
Despite being the thinnest Surface, the new Pro X offers decent performance and great visual experience through its edge-to-edge 13” touchscreen. Instead of an Intel processor, Microsoft partnered with Qualcomm to create a custom SQ1 chipset to power this device. Last month, Microsoft announced the new Surface Pro X device running full Windows 10.
