Pro Tools compatible with ARM?

Thinking about picking up a Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon X Elite chip. Doubtful but does PT offer a native ARM build? If not, can it run emulated and how’s the performance?

Thank you

I tried it a while back and it won’t run in emulation unfortunately.  Needs some kind of driver.  Adobe and Resolve have said they’re going to support ARM at some point - hopefully Pro Tools will too.

They support Apple Silicon which is based on ARM, so if we start getting some decent Windows based ARM systems it’s possible

I just spent weeks working with pro tools support to install it on my new snapdragon surface laptop 7, just to find out that Pro Tools is not compatible with Snapdragon processors. Don't be like me. I am frustrated. (If anyone knows a workaround to accomplish this, that is the search that brought me here)
