I got one of these and it comes with Windows 11 HOME, not Windows 11 PRO.
Good to know.
Previously, SQ2 (ARM processor) wasn’t supported by Win11.
No, both the SQ1 and SQ2 have always had Windows 11 support. In Windows 10, the ARM processors could only emulate 32-bit applications. Windows 11 brought full 64-bit support right from the release date.
Thnx.
Do you see an issue with some apps not supporting ARM processors? And wouldn’t remaining x86/x64 apps run under emulation, rather than native?
I bought this exact device back in early 2021, but I didn’t keep it, there were too many problems running an ARM processor with Windows 10. I decided to try it again and I am much happier with the Pro X under Windows 11. Anything should now run because Windows 11 will emulate any 64-bit software. It must be doing a pretty good job because I can’t tell when something is running natively or in emulation. When I had it last time, it wouldn’t run MS Office Professional 2019, or print to my Color LaserJet on a JetDirect card. All of that works now. I’ve had almost every Surface Pro version going all the way back to the beginning, and this one has the best battery life of any of them.
Thnx…lighting up Arkansas on the map!
Hopefully Customer Service or @ThunderThighs will insure Win11 Pro.
@ThunderThighs is very careful to say she is not customer swevice. I believe she is the forum moderator.
Other than opening every one and booting, I have no way to ensure what’s on these. I can’t do that soooo…
But CS will help you if there’s an issue.
Thnx, I understand which is why I used “or” above. I was just hopeful after 19yrs in CS call centers remembering that Empathy was big on the scorecard.
Booting every one…funny. The only item I ever touched was a headset with a mute button 
I emailed CS as there’s 15days lead time for delivery.
I feel you. I hear you.
