Will the emulator run on a surface pro 3? 4? surface book?

I am wondering if the emulator will run on any of the surface devices. I see there are some bios requirements that I am not sure are supported on the surfaces.

    I use the SP3, i5, 8GB Ram, and I can run the emulator. Occasionally if I have too many other things running it throws an error asking me to shut some stuff down first, but it does run and with acceptable performance. I do find that the area that mine lags is when doing builds. That's why I am planning an upgrade to the Surface Book with Performance Base.

    @spt @Jesse_McCulloch The Surface Pro 3 and Surface Pro 4 are the main target for Windows 10 Creators Update (build 15063), due to be released
    11th April 2017 worldwide.

    Each Windows Insider released I have tested the HoloLens Emulator and reported Windows 10 bugs to be fixed.

    This release is more hardware independent, than any past release, due to the creation of One Core, the software abstract, to allow all Windows Store app to meet the goal of one app play anywhere.

    I believe there were over 19,000 reports for Surface Pro the previous Bug Bash, which shows how seriously testing has taken place.

    This post is being written on Windows 10 Pro build 15063 delivered to both FAST and SLOW streams around 5 millions devices, for final testing.
