Make power BI desktop fully compatible with ARM CPU, such as snapdragon

Submitted by on ‎05-05-2025 05:45 PM

Considering the most powerful and versatile machines are being built on ARM processors and many developers preferring these machines due to the extended battery life, or performance per watt, I think it would be critical for Microsoft to start developing Power BI Desktop to be fully compatible with ARM64 processors. Windows ARM with a snapdragon processor is a great machine. It is where all machines are going. It's time for Power BI Desktop to get up to speed with everything else.

Status: Completed

As of the October 2025 release, Power BI Desktop is supported on ARM PCs  that have the 2025-09 Cumulative Update installed (KB5065789).
