One of the biggest problems I had with windows on ARM was drivers. Most of my devices that needed drivers didn’t have an arm compatible version available. This needs to change more urgently than simply being able to run software, for me, at least.

What drivers?

Most importantly, my soundcard. But also my graphics tablet.

On a ARM device? Wouldn't the device be made for ARM compatibility?

External devices I presume

Yes, that’s right. Of course, ms shipped a device with drivers for its own hardware.

But most devices I plugged in, that needed drivers, had problems installing.
