When we buy a laptop, the first thing many users do is completely format the PCdownload the corresponding Windows ISO and do a clean installation to eliminate all the bloatware which include all laptop manufacturers, bloatware in the form of applications that are useless.
With the launch of the new processors with ARM architecture from Qualcomm on laptops, many users have been tempted to carry out this process but have not been able to carry it out, since Windows 11 ARM in the ISO version to install could not be downloaded from anywhere.
If the computer suffered from a performance problem that forced the user to start with a clean slate, the only way to restore the computer was to use the image included by the manufacturer, with all the usual bloatware.
And we speak in the past tense because, finally, Microsoft now allows any user with a ARM processor Download the Windows 11 ISO, create a bootable USB and do a clean installation on any computer. It is important to note that this version only works with new devices that have been launched on the market.
If you have a laptop or tablet managed by an older ARM processor, other than the Snapdragon X Elite or the Snapdragon X Plusthe only way to restore your device is by downloading the image from your device manufacturer.
This version of Windows 11 for computers with ARM processors occupies about 5GB and an Internet connection is necessary to carry out the process since it does not include the component drivers, drivers that are downloaded from the Microsoft website.
Thanks to this new version of Windows 11 natively compatible with ARM processors, macOS users will have fewer problems when using this operating system on a virtual machine since it only has to emulate the operating system, not the architecture.
