Surface Pro X - Roon is not working on Windows 10 ARM

[Geoff_Coupe]

When the Surface Pro X was introduced, the x86 emulation on this ARM processor only supported OpenGL graphics up to version 1.1.

The Roon UI requires OpenGL version 3 support.

Unless Microsoft has managed to improve the emulation to support version 3.0 of OpenGL, then the Roon UI will not work on this device.

I suspect that Microsoft has not improved the emulation.

Heads Up Warning: Surface Pro X Unlikely to run Roon

Microsoft introduced a new Surface device this week: the Surface Pro X. It’s their first ARM-based Surface product. Microsoft has also just published a Windows 10 ARM-based PC app compatibility document. I noticed this item: Certain games won’t work . Games and apps won’t work if they use a version of OpenGL greater than 1.1 Given that Roon requires OpenGL 3.0 as a minimum requirement, this seems to indicate that you won’t be able to use a Surface Pro X as a Roon remote.
