Despite the compatibility of Windows OS with ARM processors, Microsoft has yet to launch a Windows Server for ARM64.
Despite the compatibility of Windows OS with ARM processors, Microsoft has yet to launch a Windows Server for ARM64. The reasons behind this decision remain undisclosed, even though Microsoft has been utilizing it internally for a considerable period. In 2017, Microsoft collaborated with Qualcomm and Cavium to facilitate the support of ARM-based server processors in data centers. However, this initiative did not progress as anticipated due to Qualcomm’s departure from the server business in 2018. With the recent acquisition of Nuvia, there are reports suggesting Qualcomm’s potential re-entry into the server processor market by 2024.
