LIDE 120 scanner will not work with the ARM processor MS Surface Windows 11

I have been informed by Canon that my LIDE 120 scanner will not work with the ARM processor. Until changing to the latest MS Surface with that processor, I never realised that the processor was relevant. When I saw Windows 11 driver, I thought that was the end of the matter...stupid me. I have also found some programmes reject the ARM, although in one case, when I squeaked, the refund was immediate. I made the mistake of thinking that buying a MS Surface (my third) and Windows 11 would ensure compatibility with everything I had but not so. I had to buy a Brother single sheet scanner for portability, which optionally scans on to SD card, whence one can transfer to the PC. I already had a Brother multi-function device, and that worked without problem. Having moaned about all that, I still love the MS Surface.
