I cannot instal Sage software on my laptop due to the fact that the laptop has ARM based CPU. My question is if the Microsoft Emulator could help to resolve the issue. If I download it on my laptop will I be able to download Sage software which requires more traditional x86/x64 CPUs.

Thank you very much for any assistance in this matter.

    the emulation is built in. the app may or may not run depending on its requirements. Generally if the software does not depend on any custom drivers it will work. You should also check with your vendor if the software will be supported if installed on arm.

    note: the installer may check the hardware and block install.
