Windows 11 on the Surface Pro X Deep Dive Part 1: New Start, Taskbar and the File Explorer

With Windows 11, new life has been breathed into the Surface Pro X, Microsoft's first tablet to run Windows 10 on ARM. But can Windows 11 improve the tablet experience and make the Surface Pro X worth it? This is the first video in a series where I'll review the experience of using Windows 11 on the Surface Pro X.

It's brilliant you've done a deep dive series on this. It is invaluable for SPX owners like me. I picked one up brand new on eBay in February 2020. It has got better and better. Fantastic hardware with steadily improving software. Better by a long way for productivity than my iPad Pro 11 M1. Thanks for this, like and subscribe done!

How does windows 11 affect the battery life on SPX?

[FREDSTECHHUB]

Nice video man, there's an option to move the start and all the centered icons to left to look and feel like windows 10.

How does x86 emulation perform under windows 11 ? Are there any improvements?

Hi

I bought a Surface Pro X, i want to update to Windows 11 in order to get the compatibility with x64 non-arm native apps. How can i do the update? Are you sure that once you upgrade to windows 11 all the apps will be emulated at 64bit?
Thank you so much and congrats!

I want to ask you is Photoshop work well on surface x windows 11?

[hootyvidsontech]

Nice man, I'm a fan of Windows Phone too, especially Windows Phone 8 (also Windows 8), there's something about it that feels satisfy to the touch. Sorry if my grammar is bad. Thanks for reading!

Hi there I am looking to buy either a SPX or SP7.

Which one would you recommend? I will use mostly for watching video and web surfing. I have a M1 MBP for productivity work.

Can you tell is there a bump of performance while usying win 11 on a ARM ddvice?

Honestly I never used most of the ribbon interface for the File Explorer and I don't think most people did, either...

[wendelynmusic]

I think the centered task bar looks more like chromeos than Macos

Is surface pro x worth it nowadays? Is there a problem using the same as when it was first sold?

[gabrielgon]

I was ready to change my s7+ Android tablet for the pro 8 and this video alone seems to have changed my mind: the tablet experience is bad.... And I use my device 80% of the time as a tablet, not a computer (using dex).

Please tell me, do the Android apps work well? How well? Is it possible to set them in folders somehow?

Thank you so much.

Show Windows tablets in portrait orientation as well.

Many people actually use tablets\iPads in portrait and not always landscape.

You did not so the installation of Windows 11 on a Surface Pro X. I have a surface Pro and I am having difficulties. If you have that video please direct me to it.

Been using 11 latest update and i am very happy to use this as my daily driver.. i mean it just works ! Yeah it is not perfect but it has more and more loveable features and gestures compared to windows 10.. even wireless printing works with my 5 years old brother printer easily.. it is by far the easiest windows to function as is !

Windows 11 runs pretty choppy on my Surface Go (1st gen), so I'm interested to see how it runs on the Pro X
