Feature Request: Provide Windows on ARM builds
What
Hello,
Now that the “Copilot+PC”(Windows ARM) laptops are getting more popular (Microsoft Surface Laptop, Dell XPS 13, HP OmniBook X 14, and more), are there any plans to provide binaries for WordPress Studio on arm64 Windows?
Please try to add support and builds soon so that WordPress Studio can be much more usable on Windows on ARM as it will run natively then rather than running in emulation.
Thank you very much.
Why
I am using the WordPress Studio Microsoft Store version, and the WordPress admin page is quite slow, and I am unable to login with WordPress.com.
Running natively on arm64 Windows would just be a much better experience, as it would be faster than if it was running in emulation.
How
I believe this would just be a matter of creating builds for arm64 Windows and publishing installers for it on the Microsoft Store and/or the WordPress Studio webpage.
