What is Windows on Arm?
Windows on Arm (WoA) is a version of the Microsoft Windows operating system designed to run efficiently on Arm-based processors, and fine-tuned for the Arm architecture. The next generation of laptops are being built on the Arm architecture and the hardware and software tools are ready for you to build Windows on Arm apps. Due to its high performance and power efficiency, the ecosystem is already building native on Arm64.
Explore the resources and tutorials you need to start your development, discover who in the application ecosystem is native to Arm, and learn how you can join our developer community for specialist support from Arm Ambassadors and experts.
The application ecosystem is native to Arm, and the software development ecosystem is proven for robust and comprehensive native app development. Office 365, Spotify, Zoom, Slack, Adobe, and more have ported their applications to run for Arm64 as Arm-native Windows apps. As a result, they’ve gained power efficiency and improved user experiences.
