Apple iPad meets Windows 11: Emulation makes it possible

With a little effort and using emulation software and an alternative app store, Windows 11 can be launched on the iPad. This was now shown by a resourceful Windows inventor, thanks to whom there is also instructions for this.

EU legislation makes it possible

Basically, the use of Windows 11 on the iPad is not difficult. You have to do it according to that of Windows Latest cited social media users Ntdev Only load an alternative app store onto the iPad. In his case, NTDEV used the Altstore Classic software on an iPad Air with M2 processor. Thanks to the EU’s digital marketing law, he was able to load the UTM emulation solution on the iPad thanks to the EU digital marketing law. With the help of the so-called Just-in-time compilation (JIT), the prerequisite for the use of Windows 11 in the ARM version on the arm processor of the Apple tablet can be created. According to the developer, the STIKKEBUG software was also necessary in order to be able to use the JIT compilation without external means.

Windows 11 version slimmed down with Tiny11

The Windows version used by NTDEV for his experiment was an edition of Windows 11, which was trimmed with Tiny11, in which the additional programs supplied by Microsoft and possible bloatware were removed. Apart from that, it was a regular variant of the arm-enabled edition of Microsoft’s operating system.

The performance of Windows 11 in the ARM version in the emulation on the iPad Air M2 is quite impressive according to NTDEV. However, some potential is lost due to Apple’s strong restrictions when accessing deeper system levels. Of course, you can argue about the possible benefit of Windows 11 on the iPad Air. The following steps are necessary to get Windows 11 arm up on the iPad:

  • You need a PC to create a Tiny11 ARM64 ISO with Tiny11Builder.
  • You must have your headquarters outside the European Union and install Altstore Classic with old people.
  • Then use Altstore Classic to use UTM with JIT to Sideladen.
  • Finally, use STIKDEBUG that is included in the scope of delivery of Altstore.
  • You can now create a new ARM64 VM with UTM, attach and start Tiny11 ISO.
