Hello,

I can't install MPC Beats on my laptop.
I have the following message.
"this program can only be installed on versions of windows designed for the following processor x64".
My Dell laptop has a Snapdragon processor.
It is 64-bit ARM and Windows 11.
Do you know what I can do please?

Thank you !

Virtual box is free and great.


Careful, the emulation police might flag this post :D

To work, it'll require something a bit fancier than just a virtual machine unfortunately, since it will also need a way to either emulate x86 on the arm processor (such as QEMU) and/or a translation layer to take higher level API calls and make them native. On OS X things like Crossover can help a lot here, but it's going to depend on a lot of factors.

I haven't used Windows in a while, and could only speculate on what Microsoft may or may not have available as a translation layer to run x86 code on an arm processor.

Hopefully somebody else can chime in that has more experience with the specific platform.
