(I’m hesitant to do that since it might compromise the security of my conversations, but I haven’t completely ruled it out…) I can always use my phone, of course, and if I set up the Your Phone app and give it access to Signal on my phone, it should work quite nicely, so that’s a possible workaround. The only version I can download won’t run, so I’m assuming it’s a 64-bit Win32 app. My biggest showstopper right now is Signal.

(I’m assuming TrueCrypt has the same problem.) I reverted to BitLocker and that solution works well. Veracrypt runs but cannot install the necessary system file driver, so that’s out of the question. The Amazon shopping and Netflix apps came preinstalled. There’s a store version of Alexa, but it’s very feature-sparse. I can use the web version of Kindle, but I’d rather have an app. So far, the only apps I couldn’t install are Nook (although there might be a standalone desktop version – I haven’t looked yet), Vivaldi (they only have a 64-bit version) and Kindle.

For development, I was able to install Lazarus (think Delphi), Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition, WSL 2 (including Ubuntu on ARM), and Visual Studio Code.Īs to regular apps, I installed Spotify, Duolingo, Twitter, OneNote, Audible, HDHomeRun, FreeFileSync, VLC (store version – haven’t tried the Win32 version yet), NextGen Reader, IrfanView, Pinterest, Kobo, etc., plus store apps made for Windows 8. In a word (ok, two words), it’s been “very good”, bordering on fantastic.ĭespite having pretty scarce memory and storage, I’ve been able to install *most* of the apps I wanted. I know this forum isn’t my personal blog, but in case some of you are curious, I’ll summarize my experience here. As others might have noted in some of my other comments, I recently bought a refurbished HP Envy x2 2-in-1 laptop/tablet running Windows 10 on ARM (I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro almost immediately – it’s free).
