Is this the arm version of windows?

Given they qualify “full speed” I’m pretty sure it is.
Does anyone have an opinion on ARM Windows? Is it anywhere near the experience of regular x86 Windows? Do things like WSL and most apps work as expected (is the x86 virtualization anywhere near as good as Rosetta).
The most annoying thing is drivers do not appear to work entirely. I tried to get a printer driver working so I could configure the printer’s wireless, and it just bluescreen’d. The printer is 5-6 years old now, and they released updated drivers for Window 10, but yeah .. no dice.
Are they arm drivers, or can arm Windows use x64 drivers?
They’re x86/64 drivers, unsure if windows does the translation for ARM
