"It's not Windows 10 as we know it from PCs, tablets, or phones, but Windows 10 internet of things (IoT) Core is another branch of Microsoft's ubiquitous OS designed to be run on low-power devices.

. . .

Essentially it lets you use Windows technologies to build connected devices based on low-cost computing solutions such as the Raspberry Pi."

Windows 10 ARM:

How to Install Full Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi:  https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/install-windows-10-on-raspberry-pi,5993.html

"Microsoft offers an official build of Windows 10 IoT for the Raspberry Pi, but that OS is just for building maker projects and doesn’t have the ability to run regular apps or the traditional Windows GUI (graphical user interface). However, there’s a way to make a Raspberry Pi 3 / 3B / 3B+ boot into a full version of Windows 10 Professional that can even run win32 apps.

 

This process of installing Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi involves downloading the installer, drivers and the OS itself from a variety of unofficial sources.

. . .

Based on our extensive hands-on use, we can also say that running Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi is an exercise in frustration. Everything from the Start Menu to the Edge browser operates in slow motion."

"Microsoft wants Windows 10 to run on every type of computing device and the company has been lately trying to make Windows more modular. Microsoft’s Windows 10 on ARM initiative brought the company’s desktop operating system to devices with Snapdragon chipsets.

 

It looks like you can now finally install a full version of Windows 10 intended for ARM devices on Raspberry Pi 3.

 

After launching Windows 10 on ARM for Lumia 950 and 950 XL handsets, the same group of third-party developers have also created WoA installer which brings Microsoft’s Windows 10 on ARM experience to Raspberry Pi 3."

"I was able to get some simple x86 programs to run through emulation, such as HW Monitor and even Steam, but for day-to-day use, the performance may frustrate some. Boot times were in excess of 75 seconds and response times throughout were laggy."
