Will Rew work with Windows 11 arm 64

[abrise]

i intend to buy the Surface Pro Aarch64 version in a few weeks. I thus asked to ChatGPT if Rew will work with the OpenJDK 21 arm64, the answer was that it should work as Java machines are backward compatible.
But as ChatGpt likes to cheat on me, I think I have better to ask the question in this forum.
So is Rew going to work with OpenJDK21 arm64 and if yes what specific actions should I take ?

Java runtimes are not backward compatible, new runtimes may remove deprecated methods or classes or in the Java 8 to Java 9+ case make major breaking changes in class organisation. REW uses Java 8 and the downloads include an embedded Java 8 runtime the application uses. There isn't an arm64 Windows build (though I could add one in future) but the Windows-x64 build should run.

Thank you very much for your answer, I will try the windows x64 build then.

I have received my new surface pro 11 based on qualcomm snapdragon X a few days ago and I am pleased to confirm that REW is working very well on this platform although REW is based on JAVA 8 X64. Microsoft emulation is really doing a good work.

Just 2 images to prove it
The first image is showing a test on a small usb optical device output to input
The second one is a focurite scarlett solo audio output to audio input
They are using microsoft drivers.
It shows bit perfect for the fist one and very little microprocessor load for both : only 4%
Thanks again for your excellent software
