Which apps can I use on Windows 10 ARM?

• 32-bit ARM (ARM) .exe programs.

• Windows RT .exe programs.

• UWP (Modern) apps can be installed if:

  • Platform is 32-bit ARM (ARM).
  • Target is Desktop or Universal (Mobile or HoloLens apps will not install).
  • Minimum supported version 1607 or lower (or build 10.0.15035.0 or lower).

Microsoft Edge

A working old Microsoft Edge is included with Windows 10 ARM.
However, it will crash if the graphics driver is not installed - Common issues

Installing essential UWP apps

Photos, Groove Music, Movies & TV and other apps are not included with this Windows 10.
You can get them here: AppInstaller2.7z (skip to AppInstaller section)
You can download using Microsoft Edge or copy from your PC with Mass Storage Mode. Read the manual before using.

Installing manually

If AppInstaller don't work well for you, you can do this to install them:
Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator. Then type this:

Add-AppxPackage -Path "<PathToFolder>\App.appx"

For example:

Add-AppxPackage -Path "C:\Users\Lumia\Downloads\AppInstaller2\Apps\Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.7.appx"

You will need to install all .NET Native & Framework, VCLibs and Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml before installing other apps. Overwise, it may errors.

Using the Microsoft Store

The Microsoft Store works on Windows 10 ARM, but it's very unstable. With my experience, don't:

• Log in to your Microsoft Account.
• Update the store (disable automatic update to prevent this).

If you get sad face and an error, try resetting it's data.

If that still not work, try resetting it's data and install this store appx: OneDrive
