Hear how it's been developing on Windows 11 on ARM for a whole year from an actual developer who's been using it

But what about for tasks such as software development?

How is Windows on ARM faring in that regard?

This is not a MacBook Pro as used by the source of this article, but it’s one of the best ARM-based alternatives.

Running Windows x64 binaries is easy because the x64 emulation is very good.

Otherwise, it seems this particular developer’s biggest hurdle was something Microsoft itself needs to fix.

There was one bigger issue though: SQL Server 2022 doesnt support ARM64.

Thats a really weird omission from Microsoft that one of these days theyll actually fix (I hope).

If you’re at all interested in this topic, I definitely recommend reading the whole post.
