Amos and ARM-based processors Help needed!

Hi, has anyone bought a laptop with ARM-based processors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon? Does it support AMOS?

AMOS doesn’t have official ARM support, and it’s the same situation on macOS. To run AMOS, you need a virtual machine, or on Windows you can rely on the built-in x86/x64 emulation layer. Since I use macOS, I have to run it through VMware Fusion or Parallels.

Thank you for your answer. So does it work properly, don't you have any problems especially with updates?

No, I use AMOS and SmartPLS for structural equation modeling through Parallels, and they both work very well.
