Windows 10 now supports x86 emulation on ARM processors, so most programs will run on this device without a problem.

Unlike Windows RT, which could only run things from the windows app store.

Windows RT was especially hamstrung because without jailbreaking it couldn't run Win32 desktop software even if it was compiled for ARM.

And this isn't the first ARM Windows laptop with x86 emulation. It is just the first Surface-branded one.
