Run Photoshop in native mode on Windows 10 (and later) ARM devices
As of May 2021, Photoshop now runs natively on 64-bit Windows 10 (and later) ARM Devices.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows 10 ARM device running Windows 10 64-bit v19041.488.0 (Win10 20H1)
- RAM: 8 GB (minimum)/ 16 GB (Recommended)
Photoshop only runs in 64-bit operating systems, and the version of the Creative Cloud that you will need to install Photoshop is a 64-bit only application. Do not install Photoshop if you intend to continue to install 32-bit applications from Adobe.

Windows ARM native known issues
| Issue | Workaround |
|---|---|
Cannot find the Photoshop for ARM installer in the Creative Cloud Desktop Application
|
Photoshop for ARM will only install and work on ARM hardware that meets the minimum system requirements. If you have qualifying ARM hardware and you do not see the installer, check manually for an update (Help > Check for Updates). If it still does not appear, try logging out/back into the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Cannot find printer driver when printing

Contact your printer manufacturer for updated drivers that are ARM-compatible.

Photoshop freezes on launch

Update the OpenCL/GL Compatibility Pack. The Photoshop/WinArm installer installs a required Microsoft Store component on your system: the "OpenCL/OpenGL Compatibility Pack". After installation, we recommend updating to the latest version of this component from the Microsoft Store App:

Cannot install 32-bit applications after upgrading your version of Photoshop
