A couple years ago, I switched to a Surface Book (which i absolutely LOVE).

The first Surface that I used to run Silhouette Studio was a Surface Pro 2.

You can pay for an upgrade to a full Windows Operating System however, at that point you might as well upgrade to a different Surface product (my understanding is that it also only has a USB Type-C connection so you would need an adapter to plug the machine in as well). While these products do run on an Intel processor, they come with “Windows 10 S Mode” which does not allow for installing additional programs other than what is in the Windows App Store.


This original Surface was more like a giant phone/tablet rather than a computer. The Original Surface was based off of ARM architecture rather than x86 (Intel) and ran Windows RT which didn’t allow for programs to be installed that weren’t part of their app store. The answer is absolutely! I’ve been using a Microsoft Surface product for 4 or 5 years, both of them running Silhouette Studio perfectly fine.There are a couple caveats to this answer.Īn original Surface (not Surface Pro) will not run Silhouette Studio. With this machine, I’m also in a lot of groups which talk about crafting with Silhouette Cameos, or Cricut machines, and a question that I have seen multiple times is “Can I use a Microsoft Surface to run Silhouette Studio?” or “Will my Cricut work with a Microsoft Surface?”. I’ve used it to make so many fun gifts, home decor items, and tees for myself.
