Start 11 - Win11Pro ARM OS

Start11 fails to start - Can't run

from Stardock Forums

Running Parallels VM's... Win11Pro on intel processors no problems with Start11. 

Setup a Win11Pro ARM OS on MBP M1 Max & Parallels VM.

Install works fine, Install completes without error; but fails to start or run, requests new version.

Screen clip shows Start 10, although it is Start 11. 

Any status on Start11 running on Win11Pro ARM. 

Currently Win11Pro ARM is via MS Insider Program. 

Current Version: Win11Pro, Bld 22538.rs_prerelease.220114-1500. 

Windows OS is fully activated with MAK Key. 

 

NOTE: if you have / develop a WIn11Pro ARM version, I'd be happy to install and test too.

At this time Arm support is being considered.

Worth noting the error message is, in typical Microsoft fashion, completely wrong.

It neither causes performance or security issues, it simply wouldn't run as it would need to be 64 bit ARM native version due to how Microsoft x86/x64 emulation works on ARM versions of Windows.  And of course it isn't Start10.

Just want to chime in and add my support for an ARM version.  Would really love to see that happen soon - I've got a Surface Pro X, and suffering through the native start menu is aggravating  :)
