Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0 Download won't work for my surface pro X

[MMMMyes 0]

Hello, I am new to ultimaker cura and I have been trying to get to work on my surface pro x for college projects. Based on my research, I believe that the Windows surface pro x card drivers do not support OpenGL. But I wanted to ask here as I do not have another device I could use for my school projects. If there is a way to get this up and running I would be immensely appreciative!

I don't know about graphics drivers, but the Surface Pro X uses a different kind of processor (ARM) to most Windows computers (x86), and there is not a native Cura build available for it. Windows on ARM launched with native support for emulating 32 bit x86 programs, but Cura is a 64 bit program.

 

Are you running Windows 10 or 11? Windows 11 on ARM has been updated with support for emulating 64 bit programs, but I think Microsoft scrapped plans to add that to Windows 10.

 

Also, just a warning if someone smarter than me pops up and tells you how to get it running: it's probably not going to be a brilliant experience, just because it will run slower (especially slicing which is very CPU intensive) than a regular x86-based computer.
