Hello dayzlypper,
I do not have experience using TwinCAT on the new Windows Laptops with ARM (I am assuming Snapdragon Elite X?)
I did try to use TwinCAT 3 in a VM on my Macbook Pro M1 (ARM-based CPU). What I learned is that you can use TwinCAT 3 for writing code, but if you want to simulate or connect to real hardware it is not possible.
You can't simulate because the cores are different on an ARM computer.
You can't connect to hardware because the ADS protocol with EtherCAT is for x86.
