Thank you for the reply 🙂
So what you mean is that the Intel® Core™ i5 Processors with Intel® Hybrid Technology is an ARM processor?
As Samsung Galaxy Book s uses this processor?

    No but thanks for pointing out that the new version has the Intel Core i5-L16G7 which is a processor aimed at low intensity workload. Intel developed this to compete with ARM processors. If it can run the Sims 4 it would only be the Legacy edition and it would do so poorly. For light school work, email and browsing the web it should work well. It may even be possible to run some minor games that are not too taxing.

      @jpkarlsen I have a Galaxy S Book, been running the sims really well. Then it asked for Legacy to be installed and all my new extension packs have gone.

        The Legacy edition can not run any packs released after November 2019. If the normal game ran well enough I recommend changing back to that. Rightclick the game in Origin  and select Game properties. On the advanced tab change from Legacy to 64 bit.
