Can Boot Camp be installed on latest iPad Pro Device

I have an Application I use on my Windows PC. And was curious if the latest iPad Pro can have Boot Camp installed on it, so the application on my PC can be downloaded on the iPad Pro?

Thanks!

no, ios devices has ARM based cpus and macs and windows pcs has x86 based cpus so bootcamp is running windows natively because macs has the same type of cpus as windows boxes.

for a ios device to be able to do it it would require emulation like a virtual machine but I don't believe any are currently available on ios or if it would be allowed in app store terms and if the overhead of emulating another type of cpu would make it so slow it would not work.


but you can use teamviewer, remote desktop or other vnc setups to view the desktop of a windows pc on your ios device and control it that way.
