Microsoft wants to change how users use and experience its Windows operating system. Of course, the indoctrination of AI i.e., Windows Copilot is one way to get it started. But what about hardware? There are now several ARM-based Windows PCs that users can pick and choose from their favorite manufacturers. However, when it comes to app support, the ARM platform has always been behind, especially with many popular apps not being supported on ARM platforms.
Read on to check out the complete list of apps compatible with ARM-based Windows Copilot+ PCs.
However, all of this is changing with many apps out there finally bringing support to ARM-based Windows Copilot+ PCs. While this is just the beginning, we will soon be seeing hundreds of apps working just as fine on ARM-based Windows Copilot+ PCs. So, if you are planning to get yourself one of the new ARM-based Windows Copilot+ PCs, this is a good place to look at all the supported apps.
ARM-Based Copilot+ PCs – How are They Different from PCs on x86 Architecture?
Most of these newer ARM-based PCs come with a Snapdragon X or X Elite chip. Since this is a different architecture, you will notice that not all apps and programs can be easily installed. While some may get installed, you will notice issues with some apps or programs. With an ARM-based chip, you can expect your laptop to perform better overall and have improved battery life. You will notice this difference when you compare it to a laptop with an AMD or an Intel chip inside.
Because a lot of apps are designed based on the x86 architecture, you will have to look for ARM versions of these apps. So, before switching over to an ARM laptop, it is ideal to see if the apps that you use are supported on the Windows for ARM architecture or not. Similarly, if you use a lot of apps from the Microsoft Store, be sure to check and see if it is compatible with Windows on ARM or not.
Now let’s take a look at all the apps that are compatible with such ARM-based Copilot+ PCs.
