It has been quite some time since ARM processors were released and still Norton Family is not compatible. When is this going to get fixed?
@jedi_joel This isn’t something Norton has to “fix”, ARM processors in general do not support the SSE2 instruction sets that are required to run certain software.
AI Overview
ARM CPUs do not natively support the SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) instruction set, as SSE2 is exclusive to the Intel/AMD x86 architecture. However, ARM processors use their own native SIMD technology, known as NEON (or Advanced SIMD), which provides similar functionality
Norton hasn’t spoken about any new releases that will include ARM CPU’s in the listing only OS’s that are supported. These are the “devices” listed below in the link that are not supported by Norton Family, and note its devices manufacturer specific:
The latest article dated 4/1/2026 doesn’t specify ARM CPU’s as not being supported. Conversely neither does it state they are supported. That should be clarified in this article as well.
