Although the Windows notebook with the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform has its advantages in networking, it also has the fatal drawback of not supporting 64-bit applications. Although Microsoft has sent a lot of assurances, on many occasions, they said that they will eventually add 64-bit app support to the ARM architecture platform. However, the actual timeline has also come from today. Erin Chappie, general manager of Microsoft’s Windows division, revealed to us that they will release the ARM 64-capable SDK at the Build Developer Conference that will begin soon.
With the new SDK, developers can have native 64-bit support for their app on ARM-based computers (such as ASUS NovaGo), no longer limited to the current 32-bit. Although the performance of related applications will increase after getting 64-bit support, this is also a welcome improvement.
These networked PCs using ARM architecture will be pre-loaded with Windows 10 S. However, Microsoft also gives users the opportunity to switch to Windows 10 Pro in 2019, allowing users to operate in a more familiar and powerful system. The ARM 64 SDK will be able to make both Microsoft Store and Desktop Edition (.exe) programs, making it easy for developers to access it according to their needs.
