Hi ChromeRefugee, I am jumping straight to the end to respond. We are working on a native ARM64 version of Microsoft Edge. You can read about it here: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/04/08/microsoft-edge-preview-channel-details/#d4RSZSQO3yPS3Bv6.97. While we don't have anything to announce now, please be sure that we are still working diligently on bringing our new browser to ARM64 devices as soon as possible. Thanks - Elliot

Hi, that's a great question. The majority of upcoming features and updates for supporting additional OS versions do not have actual hard dates attached.

The ARM version is being worked on and hopefully will release soon, since I am looking forward to it as well! LOL

I would advise to keep watch on the "https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-new" page since impending updates appear there first.

I hope this helps.

Eddie_B do you happen to have any new information on the ARM version of Edge Chromium? As you can tell from my previous reply above, I'm concerned that the lack of a native ARM version will hurt the Surface Pro X product launch. I hope you have some news to share, preferably of the positive variety.
