Is iCloud compatible with the surface x?

Is the windows iCloud app compatible with Microsoft Surface X? I’ve a problem installing and there’s some chatter I’ve seen online from 2019 that suggests it’s not compatible with the ARM processor found on the surface pro x.

Windows, Windows 6

Can you work interchangeably with a Microsoft Surface Pro and an iMac I use Adobe Creative Suite for work on an iMac but am finding I need to be more mobile. The laptops are so expensive, the iPads don't work for InDesign (which I use most) so now I'm looking at the Microsoft surface pro - but can I work interchangeably? My guess is no since I wouldn't have access to my CC libraries. Any suggestions??

iPad Pro with M1 (soon M2)...still no Apple Pro Apps support? Last time this question was asked, people replied with "Try running these apps..." "Microsoft Surface cannot run them.." And totally missed the point. Apple already sent the Macbook packing in 2019 so as far as Apple's Pro software, like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro and X Code, that those are currently only for full blown OS available on Macbook Air/Pro and the desktop Mac variants. The guess is that they don't want to cannibalize those by having a touch ready professional OS device in a tablet form, so let's just call it the iPad Pro, but not let it perform how Professionals want. At some point, though enough people are going to call BS on this and will want any device tagged as "pro" to handle professional apps. Any other thoughts on why they won't or when they might? iPad Pro 2022 is likely to have M2 chips, so great, we can watch Netflix 40% faster now.

Hey there Dan3091,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’d like to confirm if iCloud for Windows will work on your Surface X. We’ll be happy to help.

There is no mention of a specific when looking at the PC requirements for iCloud for Windows but it would be a good idea to review which features are available. You can view those here:
