BBRAV15 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 According to Microsoft, "Surface Pro X will not install 64-bit applications that have not been ported to ARM64" Is Affinity working on getting this to work on systems running ARM64 such as the Surface Pro X? Quote
Dan C Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Hi @BBRAV15, Welcome to the forums Unfortunately we don't current support the ARM64 Windows version for the Affinity apps, as covered in the below FAQ - We do hope to add support for this in the future, however we have no timescale for this currently. I hope this helps! Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I have a vague memory of someone reporting here that a recent Windows Insider build for ARM64 allows Affinity applications to work. But I couldn't find that in the forums with a quick search.

Dan C Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I believe you're correct in that there's a Windows Insider build available that allows x64 apps (such as Affinity) to be emulated on Windows ARM - but as this is an Insider Build running an emulation we can't guarantee stability. AFAIK there's no current way of natively running the app on ARM. Hope this clears things up walt.farrell 1 Quote
