Will Quicken Classic run on a new Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 - on arm?

I'm considering buying a new Surface Laptop 7 (on arm) wit Windows 11. Will Quicken Classic run well on this machine - or does it require x86? Thanks for any advice.

This review may help…. I doubt if Quicken supports ARM…… review talks about ARM

It really isn't a matter of Quicken supporting ARM is how good is the Windows x86 emulation for ARM is.

I saw one post that said it worked fine, even with better performance than expected, and then there is this post:

Thank you retired and Chris_QPW. I also called Quicken support and was told that it "may" run on the Surface Laptop 7.

Has anyone tried this yet and would be willing to share their experience?

Thank you again!

To all who might be interested. I have Quicken for Windows running on my Surface Laptop 7 with arm64EC, and it installs and runs quite nicely. It is fast and responsive. I cannot claim to have evaluated every Quicken feature, but everything I have tried works well.
