Windows 11 ARM isn't locked down at all. I run it on a daily basis.

You can run any legacy Win32 .EXE on it that you want? I didn't know that. Good to hear if true.

It's actually kinda annoying once I started paying attention, as many software vendors just detect "Windows" and give you a x86/x64 installer, even when the company offers a ARM64 build that would presumably be faster or be more energy efficient. I installed a bunch of stuff that were Intel binaries without even knowing that I wasn't running native. But I haven't noticed any performance issues, and yeah everything just works.
