Enthusiasts make Windows 10 run on iPad Pro tablet

Enthusiasts have launched Windows 10 operating system on iPad Pro tablet, which is based on Apple M1 single-chip system.

After the release of the Microsoft operating system on an Apple tablet, a performance test was carried out on Geekbench. As a result, the iPad Pro scored 1,522 points in single-thread mode and 5,073 points when using all cores. This represents about 90% and 70% of device performance on native OS.

It is worth mentioning that the blogger did not install Windows 10 on an iPad Pro tablet, but used a virtual machine called UTM for that, which is based on QEMU technology and allows users to run Winodws or Linux systems on an iPhone or iPad without jailbreak. Currently compatible with macOS.

According to official information provided by UTM, this virtual machine supports a total of more than 30 processors, including x86_64, AMR64, and RISC-V, as well as other architectures that support iOS 11 and newer OS versions.

At the same time, the virtual machine supports keyboards, mice, touchpads, Apple Pencil, gamepads and other devices.
