Important Notes for ARM (64-bit) Users
Due to the migration of Self Extracting Executables (SFX) to x86 (64-bit), users on ARM (64-bit) Microsoft official Windows PE and Windows RE instances are required to:
- Ensure that their Windows PE and Windows RE images are built with Windows ADK Build 25398 or later and integrated with the x64 emulation optional component.
- If users are currently running Windows 10, they should upgrade to Windows 11, which supports x64 emulation on ARM (64-bit) devices.
