ETA for ARM / Snapdragon support of Edge Chromium
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
Update: it turns out that this we can now at least run a compatible version: going to https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/ on your WOA / WOS device and running the installer works just fine. Would be nice if this was communicated more clearly to people with Win10 ARM devices.
Note that this installs 32bit Edge. WOA doesn't (and won't) support x64 software (i.e. 64bit x86 software). Also note that the 32bit install most likely won't let the user know when a native ARM version becomes available, so keep an eye on the blog I guess.
When I use your posted link c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com is downloaded, however when I attempt to run the file it wants me to download an app in order to run it. In theory the app needed is the office deployment tool. Any tips you can offer to get this baby running?
A browser that works would be an outstanding feature for my HP Elite 3.
saabnut The HP Elite X3 is a Windows Phone 10 device right? I don't have experience with that model, I was talking about installing Edge Chromium on a WOA device (full Windows, not Win10 Phone). I don't think Win10 phone includes the emulation code to run x86 apps such as the current Edge Chromium.
ChromeRefugee Yes, HP Elite 3 is a windows 10 phone. And for sure it won't run x86 apps, which was another disappointment for me when I purchased it.
