I did it, and it was reinstalling Windows 10. The new Surface Pro X, however, is now a full 100 cheaper than. Now with powerful new processors and optional high-speed 5G connectivity. Learn more Wish list Surface Pro 9 gives you the tablet flexibility you want and the laptop performance and battery life² you need to move through your day all in one ultra-portable device. Then I googled it up, saw some article speaking about Reddit saying they had to factory reset it and then it would install Windows 11. When the original Surface Pro X launched, it started at 1,000, and mid-range configurations pushed closer to 1,200. This device is preloaded with Windows 11. I tried and tried all the updates, tried the update tool, and still Windows 10. Microsoft Surface Pro X LTE 13' Silver 2019 3.15GHz SQ2 Processor 16GB 256GB SSD. The SPX 8gb that I bought to replace my broken SPX actually came with Windows 11 pre-installed, albeit a pretty old version of it.īut as a twist, Microsoft actually sent me a refurbished SPX 16gb, but it came with Windows 10. I had upgraded my SPX 16gb to Windows 11 as an Insider, so I never had to upgrade it the "normal" way. So long story short, I bought a Surface Pro 8, then exchanged it for a Surface Pro X (SQ1 8gb RAM) because my SPX (SQ2 16gb RAM) had died.

I don't think the ARM devices are ready for prime time for people using Power Bi desktop to develop reports. 32bit can generally only address 2GB of memory (though there are some workarounds devs can do to give it 4GB), whereas 64bit apps can exabytes of data.

Using Power BI Desktop indicates you are a bit of a power user, and really need the 64 bit version as the 32 bit version will just crash more often if it runs out of RAM. Honestly, if you just got it, consider returning it. Upgraded to 64bit and my DAX models no longer caused issues.

I used to get them all of the time a few years ago on both Power BI and Excel when I had the 32bit apps installed.

There may be some 64 bit improvements coming, but I've heard rumors confirming and denying. It can only emulate a 32bit environment for Win32 apps. The Surface Pro X cannot run Win64 apps at this time.
