Hi,

I cannot find an answer to this, is ESET Internet Security fully compatible with the Microsoft Surface Pro X?

If not when is a compatible version expected?

Thanks

p.s. This suggests x86 and x64 architecture only: https://support.eset.com/en/kb358-system-requirements-for-windows-eset-home-products

ESET products are compatible only with x86 / x64 CPUs. Systems with ARM processors are not supported.

Thanks Marcos. I thought this was the case.

When is a compatible ARM64 version expected or a broad time frame of compatibility? Is it something ESET are looking into?

There aren't a lot but are a few Windows computers using an ARM64 processor instead of Intel/AMD.

There are no such plans, the ARM market is simply not big enough and making the products and modules, including adv. heuristics fully ARM compatible would require tremendous amount of resources.

Thanks for the further reply.

It will likely become big enough. Windows on ARM is still very new.

Windows Defender it is.
