Just curious since the M1 chip is on the iPad Pro's now and it's a monster, what's the state of using Windows 10 on an iPad like these days? I would be curious as to all different ways to get this done. Does Parallels have an iPad version? If so can you full screen it and pretty much pretend you are on Win10 natively, in particular the touchscreen aspects? Is there any sort of hardware emulation in the works (assuming Windows on Arm is actually available to devs)? Or better yet any projects to fully port Win10 over (again assuming Windows Arm is available)? I'm familiar with solutions over the network such as Teamviewer, but was more interested in something local and installed on the iPad.

I'm mainly looking for information out of curiosity and conversation. Please no Mac vs Windows unless it's relevant.

Screen Sharing? Parallels Access (which is mostly just screen sharing)?

I don't think Apple allows most emulation type apps on iPadOS (unless maybe it's a single game).
