Is it one of the new Microsoft Surface models based on the ARM-based Snapdragon X processor?

If the Surface is based on Snapdragon X, Lightroom Classic does not yet run natively on Windows for ARM. Lightroom does, but not Lightroom Classic yet. Apparently it’s possible to install Lightroom Classic in Intel emulation mode. If you need an ARM-native version of Lightroom Classic for Windows PCs, you might monitor this thread in case Adobe changes the status:

Need Native Support for WOS/CoPilot/ARM Devices

You can also monitor this Adobe tech article listing Adobe applications that run natively on Windows for ARM, because they will update it as more applications are made native:

Learn which Adobe apps run on Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X Series ARM architecture-based processors

If the Surface is based on the more conventional Intel processor, then there should be no problem installing Lightroom Classic.

"Apparently it’s possible to install Lightroom Classic in Intel emulation mode."

Building on that, if you're in the US, the Creative Cloud app will install Intel LR Classic in emulation mode on a Windows ARM device. But if you're outside the US, you'll have to copy the application folder from an existing installation on another Intel machine. Several people have confirmed that works:
