64 bit emulator surface pro x

you not helping anyone who already bought this computer, saying they "should've done their research" and "too late your fault, deal with it" kind of attitude"

You were responding with someone else worried "basic apps don't work on their computers" comment..

dont pretend your trying to help anyone, your just rubbing the dirt in their face,

and being coy about it

you're not a kind, nor helpful person, in any frame

whatsoever

in the words of the late michael jackson

beat it

Ok, I'll try this one more time.

Re-reading my post, I can see what you're saying, and how I worded it was not clear in what I was trying to actually ask. Sometimes I struggle with phrasing on forums. So let me re-phrase and clarify.

What I typed: "But did you not do any research on whether the software was compatible with ARM CPUs before buying the Pro X? Hopefully you didn't get a salesperson promising x64 emulation was coming really soon or by such and such date etc."

What I was trying to ask the poster I replied to was this: if before making the purchase,

• If he to had done some research and read somewhere that it was stated or implied that SQL Server should run on the Pro X (or in general Windows PCs with an ARM processor) either now or in the very near future.
• If a sales person said something to that same effect.

The reason I ask is it seems after reading through several threads similar to this one, that somehow buyers have gotten the impression that Microsoft promised 64-bit emulation was coming really soon (as in should have arrived mid 2020), and I've been trying to understand where this has been coming from. Because that misinformation is resulting in buyers remorse, and as a fan of the Windows on ARM platform I want to help correct any misinformation I can.

I hope that was more understandable. I absolutely did not ask this to rub anything in anyone's face. Maybe it's none of my business, and the poster doesn't have to respond. And to MitjaWogatzky - I apologize to if my original post came across as condescending to you.

Mosthandsome, with your statement of "retail investors have no idea about the technicals. they see a computer they like, buy it, and expect it to work as a computer this is obvious", you seem to be saying that everyone in this thread isn't knowledgeable enough to make informed purchasing decisions, but you're telling me that I'm being coy, unhelpful, and condescending? Yes, I assumed someone working with SQL Server might be at least somewhat knowledgeable with technology. I apologize if that was incorrect as well. I expect you'll probably say now I'm trying to back-peddle. Or maybe you're just trolling, I dunno.

I guess it doesn't matter now because reading Jeffrey's post above sit looks like solution to all of this will be the upgrade to Windows 11 as that's where we'll see x64 app support for sure. And we do know when that will arrive.

retail investors have no idea about the technicals.

they see a computer they like, buy it, and expect it to work as a computer

this is obvious.

you more advanced, and think you can talk down to them. just keep it to yourself

unless you have a current tense solution, stop trying to look smart

because to be honest look like an ****

Well, your reply is about the rudest post I've seen on this forum. I'm not trying to "look smart" and especially have no intent to talk down to anyone. I apologize if it came across that way. I'm trying to ask questions to better understand a poster's situation and also help clarify why things don't work the way they expect, especially if someone hasn't done their research or is less familiar with the differences between Intel-compatible CPUs and ARM. Why bother to visit forums and posted questions about issues if one isn't interested in learning and educating oneself?

Hi, I am also interested. Even the Microsoft program SQL Server 2019 Developer is not running on my surface pro x. I really cannot understand how Microsoft can launch a pro product, which is not usable for a lot of apps for a professional context. I think a Facebook group could be helpful to attract people who have the some problem.

Wanting to running SQL Server on a tablet seems a bit odd, but to each his own I guess. But did you not do any research on whether the software was compatible with ARM CPUs before buying the Pro X? Hopefully you didn't get a salesperson promising x64 emulation was coming really soon or by such and such date etc., since a date has never been announced other than when it would arrive in insider builds (November 2020, which it did). But you may be able to run it if x64 emulation arrives this fall (expected). No idea how well it'd run. There is no ARM version of Windows Server available that I've seen yet, so I don't expect a native ARM64 flavor of SQL Server until that happens (they're working on it internally I've read).

Honestly this device is designed to be a highly mobile device (built-in LTE and all), not a server. But I guess we all may have a different idea of what makes a Pro device. Unfortunately you probably would have been better off with the Pro 7 if running SQL Server locally on the device itself is a must-have.

Thanks! I joined the group.
