P: Native Support for WOS/CoPilot/ARM Devices

My experience with LR, LRC and PS is "edit in Photoshop" doesn't work at all. No matter which version of LR/LRC nor PS (even PS beta).  If that's imporant.  Tried different versions, different installation order, remove pref. files, etc.  Just FYI.

I verified just now that you can install the Intel version of LR Classic on a virgin Windows ARM, from an account with a California, USA address running on a computer on a California network:

I haven't seen anyone post authoritatively how the Creative Cloud desktop app determines where you are. I know people have speculated about using a VPN but haven't seen any authoritative results posted. If you try that, please post back here to help others.

Is it still possible to install the windows AMD/Intel version on an ARM computer if your region is in North America?
how does it determine region? is it during install of CC app, during app launch, or is it account location?
Wondering if you can you just VPN to North America and install Lightroom Classic AMD/Intel.

The application is not yet natively compatible. You have to turn to LR. Generally speaking, I tested the Samsung Snapdragon 84-100, and it's a disaster with DaVinci resolve, luminar.and certain functions in other photo and video software. In fact the PC completely crashes! I sent everything back to Samsung. I think Adreno is really not up to the task for this type of activity!

Just got the new Microsoft Surface pro 11 with the Snapdragon Elite. Lightroom Classic is not visible in the Creative Cloud app and I am therefore not able to download it.
I found it on the web-based app and tried to download it from there, got the setup installation for LR Classic and when I launch that it just opens up my Creative Cloud app.

I have tried to uninstall everything and still nothing. I have the Adobe Photography Plan with Lr CC, Lr Classic and photoshop + 1tb.

Sweden is my location.

Where are you located?  It would be useful if everyone who posts here identifies their region.

I spoke with Adobe support today, and the helpful agent gave me this response:

As of now from all the information I gathered, Lightroom classic is not available for ARM based machines. Currently LrC is available on winarm only in simulated mode in NA regions.

I'd advise you to please fil this Adobe Wish Form so that our team can review it and work on it accordingly.

So although the form appears to just pass you onto this very same forum, I would suggest that anyone outside North America who would like to run Lightroom Classic on an ARM based machine fills logs a request to remove the "if region = NA" from Adobe's logic for determining whether Lightroom Classic should be installable on Windows ARM via Creative Cloud.

The fact that there was a problem last year installing LR Classic (Intel) on Windows 11 (ARM), and Adobe acknowledged it and fixed the problem very quickly shows that it is a very small change to amend that if statement.

When will Lightroom classic be available for Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X Series processors?

Or at least will work through the Prisma ?

Best regards.
