I now that surface pro x can’t run several apps like Minecraft Java but now surface pro x has a new better processor it can run now run 64 bit apps and also surface pro x can now run games that uses OpenGl 3.3 but can i use recent versions of OpenGL on surface pro x sq2 ? 

If surface pro x was able to use OpenGL 4.4 I think that it will run Minecraft Java because OpenGL 4.4 is recommended for running better Minecraft Java on some PC’s

    Hi Smash X,

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Community and posting your inquiry.   

    The Minecraft Java Edition still won't run on Surface Pro X, the app's Windows system compatibility is **Windows 7 and up.**At this time, Surface Pro X will not install 64-bit applications that have not been ported to ARM64. 

    The Surface Pro X is a Windows 10 ARM based device. 64-bit (x64) apps would need emulation support to run. Without 64-bit emulation, only 64-bit (ARM64), 32-bit (ARM32) or 32-bit (x86) (using x86 emulation) apps/drivers will run on the device.

    Thank you for your response, Smash X.

    Games and apps won't work if it uses a version of OpenGL greater than 1.1, or if it rely on "anti-cheat" drivers that haven't been made for Windows 10 ARM-based PCs. Check with your game publisher to see if a game will work.

    For reference, we suggest checking the Surface Pro X Compatibility.

    Ok also Minecraft Java needs a OpenGL driver to run but does this means that the sq2 processor does not include OpenGL?

    A version of OpenGL greater than 1.1 won't run on SQ1 or SQ2 Surface Pro X processors. This is due to the processor and graphics used by the device which is the Microsoft SQ1 Adreno 685 GPU or Microsoft SQ2 Adreno 690 GPU.
