List of apps running natively on Windows ARM Devices

In 2020, Microsoft began a significant push towards Windows on ARM, expanding support for ARM64-based processors in Windows PCs. This initiative aims to bring more energy-efficient and always-connected computing experiences to a wide range of devices.

Microsoft has worked with manufacturers like Qualcomm to develop ARM-based Windows devices, including the Surface Pro 11 and various laptops from Lenovo, HP, and Samsung .

Windows on ARM processors are ARM64-based, requiring developers to update their apps to run natively on these new systems. These processors promise improved battery life, always-on connectivity, and potential performance gains for Windows devices.

For apps that haven't been updated or are no longer actively developed, Windows provides x86/x64 emulation technology that allows existing Windows applications to run on ARM-based PCs, though with potential performance limitations.

The RoaringApps crowd-sourced database is tracking which apps have been updated to run natively on Windows ARM devices - see the list of apps below that have been reported as working smoothly on these new systems.
