Is STO compatible with 8CX processor running win10?

8CX qualcomm processor is an ARM. It run win10 better than the i5. I just want to ask the devs if STO can run under win10 running with 8CX.

    It won't come July even it does now, as that version of Windows 10 can only emulate 32-bit x86 apps and STO will be requiring 64-bit x64 for the game to run.

    Edit: I'm curious if any users have tried STO on one of those or an install to an unsupported device with Windows 10 Arm forced onto it as well. Just I don't expect official support from Cryptic to be coming if Microsoft doesn't do Win64 emulation in Windows 10 Arm past the July end of service for 32-bit Windows of STO.

    as long as it's 64 bit, you should be fine

      See @tom61sto's answer. ARM CPUs are not intel/AMD x86 CPUs, they emulate 32-bit x86 only not 64-bit.
