Microsoft Says That Windows 11 ISOs For Machines Featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Chipsets Will Be ‘Made Available In The Coming Weeks’

Microsoft will soon release a Windows 11 ISO specifically for laptops powered by Snapdragon chipsets. This will address concerns about bloatware, which can take hours to remove and hogs valuable storage and CPU/GPU resources.

Windows 11 ISO file size and other details are not mentioned, but the process to start with a fresh operating system on a Snapdragon machine should be similar to x64 models

On Microsoft’s website, the section where the company has provided the Windows 11 ISO file has been updated with some valuable information for those running notebooks featuring Snapdragon chipsets. The software giant states that ‘Windows 11 ISOs for Arm64 devices will be made available in the coming weeks,’ hinting that those who want to start with a fresh installation will only have to muster up patience for a few days.

As mentioned above, proceeding with a clean Windows 11 installation can result in a boatload of benefits, starting with zero bloatware. Additionally, various notebooks have multiple driver versions installed, which has become an industry norm. When these programs interfere with one another, it can result in system instability, crashes, performance issues, and other problems. A clean installation gives you a fresh start, greatly minimizing the number of aforementioned setbacks you will face.

Microsoft has not revealed the Windows 11 ISO size for Snapdragon notebooks, but we assume that it will roughly be the same as the x64 versions. We also believe that the process to install the new operating system will be identical, with users offloading the Disk Image to a connected flash drive and commencing the journey from there. When Microsoft officially announces the Windows 11 ISO, we will update our readers accordingly, so stay tuned.
