## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **Yes, Arm-based devices** like the Microsoft Surface Pro X can already run [**Windows**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95042/how-do-i-get-rid-of-show-options-in-windows-11) 11.
- If you're looking for the TLDR, we're talking about Microsoft's Windows operating system running on PCs with Arm processors rather than Intel and AMD's dominant x86 CPUs. As a result, Windows on Arm exists. The platform was originally designed to deliver Windows 10 to Arm-based laptops and tablets, but it has since been modified to support Windows 11.
- When compared to a standard Windows laptop, the promise of longer battery life, always-online internet connectivity through 4G and 5G, super-fast bootup, and chipset-level support for security features like Windows Hello is the value proposition.
