ARM Installer for Surface Pro X

mcervone · May 24, 2021

Hi.

I am looking at purchasing a Surface Pro X which has an ARM processor and not Intel. Will Zotero work on a Windows/ARM system?

Zotero doesn't currently run on ARM, sorry.

Is that on a development roadmap?

It will likely be supported in a future version, yes, but no ETA. (It requires some major technical upgrades before it's feasible.)

Thanks much!

For what it's worth, Zotero works perfectly fine in emulation, and integrates with arm64 office seamlessly. I've been using Zotero on my Pro X without issue.

That being said I eagerly await an ARM64 specific version of Zotero for a bit more speed and battery life.

I take back my above comment. Zotero 6 is running _awfully_ on my Pro X now. Between that and the lack of an android app, I'm going to have to find another reference manager I think.

Just to note that latest Zotero runs very well under emulation on my surface pro X with Win11

An ARM64 build is now available in beta:
