Yeah, when Windows moves to ARM they lose all their legacy software support, which is legitimately the one of only reasons people use Windows in the first place.

While I doubt ARM port will go anywhere (RISC-V is where it's at), they have x86 emulation support in place, to run legacy binaries.

Windows ARM64 runs x86 binaries pretty well.

Well enough that it doesn't matter that much you don't have a native Google Chrome, for instance. AMD64/x86-64 version runs just fine.
