I have the Surface Pro with the Snapdragon X Pus processor. I read that the minimum requirement for In Design is the X elite version. can I still use InDesign even if it will go slower?

Hi @riccardo_7453,

 

InDesign 2025 requires processors with AVX2 support, and officially supports only the Snapdragon X Elite for Windows ARM-based devices. Since you're using the Snapdragon X Plus, it's not listed under supported configurations, so performance or compatibility may vary.

You can try installing the InDesign (Beta) version, which supports ARM devices through emulation, but again, only the X Elite is officially tested.

Let me know if you have any further questions

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud desktop to the InDesign forum.
