    ARM devices are not supported by Avast AV.

    That is correct. You have Windows 10 Defender and currently that is all that is available.

    Hi ALI,

    I'm Paul, a fellow customer like you & an Independent Advisor. As far as I know, both Kaspersky Internet Security (paid version) & Avast Pro below supports the AMD 64-bit processor like your Surface X.

    I would assume the reason behind this is because, as per AMD, their process is already secure at the hardware level.

    Here are also some apps that are compatible with your hardware below for your reference.

    I hope this helps. Let me know how you go. Thank you!

    Sincerely,
