how can i run windows on my ipad

Hi

I am thinking of buying a tablet pc right now im basicly just considering my optons on weather to buy a windows tablet, android tablet or an iPad. if this is possible, ill defenitly buy an iPad, if not i dont know. the reason im wondering is simply because i need a lightweight computer/ tablet for regular use, i am often traveling (45 minutes by train to and from my school), i will always have internet acces, (wifi on the train, and 3g) i was wondering if there is a way for me to run the windows from my desktop on my ipad this would make it easier for me to do homework on the train, or simply just play a few games that normally doesnt work for ipad. I frst looked into trying to install windows on it, but only found how to install windows 95. I've heard about splashtop, but if you want to use that over the internet you will need a subscription.

Is there a free, or better way to do this?

it would just be great to use the windows for the school stuff, and maybe a little gaming on the go, aswell as being able to use the ios for the more casual stuff like surfing the web, playing ios games, facetime, imessage, and other things

Thanks for your help 🙂

+ i apologise for any confusing mispellings, and bad grammar that may be there. English is not my first language

yes you can use windows on ipad, i am not going to install it, i am simply just finding a fancy way of controlling and using my desktop from a train via the internet. and that is very possible to do, i already know a way actually, what i am asking here is if there is any free ways to do it, or any better apps than splashtop streamer to use and soforth.

No, you can't run windows on an iPad.

Using apps like log me in, team viewer, etc. windows is running on the PC you are connected to, the app mirrors the display and sends keyboard/touch screen info back to the PC.

Windows never runs on the device.

of course, i know that, but because all the signals need to be sent over the internet, wich isnt the best when you want speed, therefor i want the best apps to try, maybe ill just find some and see how it works 🙂

There are a lot of companies in this space because enterprise uses Windows and now Enterprise also uses iPads as well. Not sure what your needs/use cases are but you can look into SAS companies like. Soonr http://www.soonr.com/features/

You can't run anything but iOS on any iOS device.

You can find an app that does Remote Desktop, such as team viewer or go to my PC.

Look in the App Store.

You can't use windows on an iPad, but it is some third party apps that you let you access your PC remotely. IMO then best on the market is the iPad, 😁
