I am in the US and am running LrC on a Surface Pro 11 ARM64 machine. For the most part, it works, and, as I understand it, it is in an emulation (Intel) mode. However, the Slideshow Module does NOT work as the "Dynamic Link Media Server failed to launch."

Not a clue, but apparently not this month

And see:

Note that I would assume that a moderator will merge your discussion into the above.

I get the same error when I enter the Slideshow module on my LR 14.0.1 running on an ARM device.

It would be great if Adobe could be upfront about plans for this (outside of NA)

In the market to grab a new upgraded laptop. The lack of support for this is the only main thing dissuading me from going on ARM, as it is my most used application on my Windows machine.

Don't do it. Think of all your cataloguing. I foolishly bought one with
snapdragon chip. Luckily for me the laptop was faulty and I was able to
replace it with an Intel chip.

So back to lightroom classic. You can use lightroom cloud which is still
very good. But it is missing those crucial cataloguing elements.

If buying a new laptop I would avoid the new ARM ones as there are other
programs that won't work either like ON 1 and Topaz
