I'm curious about everyone's experiences using Windows on ARM devices. Are programs generally compatible, and what challenges have you faced, if any? I've heard mixed reviews, so I want to gather some firsthand accounts.

I've faced some problems, but most things work fine now. For example, Forticlient didn’t work at first, but they've rolled out support in the latest version. Just be careful with security product auto-deploys, as older versions might not uninstall easily. Overall, for basic tasks, ARM seems to hold up well.
So far, most major apps have ARM support, but I've hit a snag with RSAT tools. I also noticed some weird scaling issues when using RDP. Just something to keep in mind if you're considering it.
Everything seems to run fine thanks to Prism emulation, which kicks in for apps needing it. You might find some drivers for older hardware don't work, and while there's a slight performance hit, most major apps are available in ARM64 versions now. Any particular apps you're worried about?
I tried using ARM in our environment, and it was quite a challenge. The devices themselves are great—super fast and excellent battery life—but managing both x86 and ARM versions of the same apps created unnecessary complexity.
Common issues usually revolve around printer drivers and VPN software. Although several major VPN providers have released ARM versions, printer compatibility can still be a hassle. Are people genuinely buying ARM devices in significant quantities?
