Hi everyone,
I'm currently using the new Surface Laptop 7 powered by the Snapdragon X Elite (ARM64) processor. I am trying to install MTK (MediaTek) VCOM Drivers for mobile servicing/flashing purposes, but I’m hitting a wall due to the architecture difference.
Standard MTK drivers are designed for x86/x64, and even with Windows 11’s emulation, I can’t get the drivers to initialize properly in Device Manager.
What I’ve already done:
- Disabled Secure Boot in UEFI.
- Enabled Test Mode using
bcdedit /set testsigning on. - Tried manual installation via "Add Legacy Hardware" (Result: Error Code 10 or "Incompatible architecture" warnings).
- Attempted to use LibUsb-win32 to filter the port, but no luck so far.
Since the Snapdragon X series is still quite new, has anyone found or patched an ARM64-compatible version of the MediaTek Preloader/VCOM drivers? Or is there a workaround to bridge x64 USB drivers to ARM64 Windows for BROM mode?
I really need this for my work. Any advice or shared experience from other Surface Laptop 7 users would be a lifesaver!
Thanks in advance!
