Topic: Driver "Windows on Arm"?

There are more options becoming available for Windows on Arm, for example a non-fan laptop, which would be ideal for music production. Is RME hardware yet supported on Windows Arm hardware or is the support planned for the (near) future?

Re: Driver "Windows on Arm"?

Schade, keine Antwort ist auch eine. :-(

Re: Driver "Windows on Arm"?

I would also be very interested in this. Are there any news on an Windows on ARM driver?

Re: Driver "Windows on Arm"?

Any news on this matter?
I have a working Windows 11 on ARM, with Parallels on a M1-Pro CPU.
The only missing piece is an ARM driver for my Babyface ... :-(

Windows ARM is and will not be supported, sorry.

Hi Matthias

Has anything changed in this regard?

There seems to be quite a push towards Windows on ARM on the laptop side of things and I could certainly see this being interesting for mobile recording setups (nice battery life, less need of fan cooling).

Edit: To be clear, I'm not talking about Windows on Apple Silicon Macs, but on "normal" Windows devices like the Microsoft Surface laptops etc.

Why ARM on Win? Just asking for troubles. And AMD CPU gives you roughly very similar power efficiency as ARM. If manufactured on the same node.

Seek for comparison of M2 and Zen4. They are manufactured on the same/similar production node (TSCM N5P).

It looks like Windows ARM is an actively growing initiative, getting increasing industry support.

I, for one, would love to have a mobile touchscreen device that can run a desktop OS with all the DAWs and plugins we have on other platforms, and I would love to use my RME interface with this platform.

Just seeing if there are any updates on planned Windows ARM support.

There are some very promising benchmarks popping up, and latency is progressively going down as well. Nobody thinks it is there right now, but it has the potential with proper industry support.
