The Surface Pro X can natively run 64-bit apps. However, this requires the apps/software to be ported to ARM64, an evolution of ARM that supports 64-bit processing. ...and here is the non-technical answer. In some ways the Surface Pro X is ahead of it's time. The ARM technology (commonly used is cell phones) is new for laptops. The downside with any new technology is adoption. Apps and software companies have to upgrade their services to work with these new processors. This was occurring slowly when the Surface X was first introduced. It's happening more quickly now, especially now that Apple has started running ARM processors in some laptops. Has the hardware manufactures are using these processors more, it will put more pressure on the software providers to upgrade their services. That all being said, the isn't a specific date this will happen. It is happening now and will continue to happen... but it will likely be a little while before all apps and services will run 64-bit natively (without emulation, which is available now). Hope this helps.
