Sajal, thank you for the references and the description of the resources<br>
the Microsoft App Assure team can assist with in porting Windows<br>
software to run on ARM.<br>
<br>
I don't have any requests myself at this point, but it is helpful to<br>
have a good point of contact in case any of us should need to reach out.<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
