Copilot+ computers

[StephenWhittington]

With Windows 10 support ending I need to get a new PC. Options for operating systems are Windows 11 or Copilot+. Will ArcGIS Pro run on a Copilot+ computer?

[Joshua-Young]

As long as the computer has an Intel or AMD processor, ArcGIS Pro should run. A computer with a dedicated GPU will give you better performance. Unless something has changed recently, ArcGIS Pro is still not compatible with ARM processors. ArcGIS Pro will not run natively on ARM and last I heard ArcGIS Pro would not run in emulation mode on ARM either.

I hope all that changes now that the 2nd generation ARM processors for PCs should be coming to market sometime next year.

From what I've read ArcGIS Pro does not natively support ARM processor chips. However, it can run on ARM-based systems, such as Apple's M-series processors, by using a virtualized environment like Parallels Desktop. This allows Windows to operate as a guest operating system on macOS.  Not sure what the next generation will or will not allow with regards to ArcGIS Pro.
