I decided windows arm is not for me, sold my surface laptop - got me a thinkpad x1 carbon gen13.
No compatibility issues at all.

I bought a Microsoft Surface Laptop last week. Got everything set up and then realized my ScanSnap scanner was not working with the new laptop. I called them and they said none of their scanners work with the ARM Processer in my laptop. Does anyone know what brand of scanners DO work with the ARM processer??? This is a HUGE problem for me. I am almost paperless and scan things all the time.

2025-02-20T14:51:28+00:00 NO GO with the Brother MFC-J1010 for scanning, so not all Brother printer/scanners are supported. Tired of making trips back and forth to Office depot. I own two scanners and four printers and now one printer/scanner. None will work. Also can't connect to the expensive Office Sharps at all, even for printing. Really regretting the Surface Pros I bought for myself and employees. Note: none of the scan snap Fujitsu scanners are supported either.

Try:
www.hamrick.com/vuescan/epson_es_50.html#technical-information
It should get your scanner working. The front page has a 'Search Supported Scanners' box. Pity about printers though. I'm nothing to do with VueScan, just very pleased to find an app that solves a real problem for an amateur armchair IT expert like me...
