With a slew of new laptops (including MS Surface Pro 11) being built on the ARM Snapdragon platform, does anyone know categorically whether it is possible to install and run Lightroom Classic on Window-on-ARM in emulation mode?

 

According to the system requirements (https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/system-requirements.html) it needs an Intel or AMD processor.

 

However, I've found this analysis (paid for by Microsoft) of the performance of the new Surface: https://signal65.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/NewSurfaceLaptop2024_Signal65LabInsights.pdf . On page 24, there is an assessment of the performance of LrC running in emulation mode on the Surface 11. That suggests that it is possible.

 

If this needs to be raised as a feature request, can anyone point me in the direction of how I should do that?

A number of Windows laptops have been announced that are based on the new Snapdragon X Elite CPU. These look to be powerful machines. Is Adobe planning to optimise LR Classic (&/or Desktop) for these devices? 

Thanks.

I received confirmation from Microsoft today that Lightroom Classic is already natively supported.

Isn't that an ARM based processor? I'm not sure that's true. Lightroom is, but not Lightroom Classic. It might run on emulation.
