The Tick Data Suite will not work with any Windows OS running on an ARM/ARM64 CPU or any other CPU that does not belong to the x86/x64 family, no matter if it is a bare metal installation or a virtual machine.

The Tick Data Suite has been tested on the above operating systems and found to be working, although it's important to note that these operating systems are not part of the rigorous testing undergone by each release. However, even though it may work, please be aware that should you choose to run it on any of the above operating systems, you are entirely on your own and must find your own solutions for any problems you may encounter.
