Still, the company warns that the new emulator for 64-bit Windows apps may not work with every program. So expect a hit-or-miss experience.
It’s arriving a bit late, but Microsoft has finally released the company’s emulator to run x86 64-bit Windows applications on ARM devices. The emulator, which was originally supposed to arrive last month, addresses a glaring hole with Windows 10 devices built on ARM processors: They can’t run traditional 64-bit Windows apps designed for Intel or AMD systems. The limitation has hurt the appeal for products including the Surface Pro X and the Samsung Galaxy Book S.
