iPad Windows 11 on iPad via EU regulations.

[Macalway]

The front page has this today. I'm may try to work around it being in the US with a M4 Pro.

If anyone has done somehow this please post. As I gather, you need a EU credit card to buy form the EU Apple Store. My question is can you avoid this by sideloading or another store that will take US credit cards? That would be the point of deregulation, to some extant I would think. But of course it's probably not going to be working for non EU folks, nevertheless....

as a matter of fact, even Windows 3.1 from 1992 is more capable and less limited than iPadOS from 2025

AltStore is pretty easy to set up on non-EU accounts. It's technically a gray area, so I won’t link or say anything else. A quick Google search will help you though. You'll need a PC/Mac to get around the JIT thing.

Thanks. There's the main app you need, so I'm not sure how to get that. Hopefully Altstore is enough, although the descriptions I've read don'r mention any workarounds. If it does, people should do this, and keep this thread going. I will later today and post back

The object is to get serviceable (tolerable) non-resource intensive apps like maybe document types, and DOS level (or XP level) stuff going were it's not a joke, if possible.

We shall see. Anyways, I'm curious about JIT.

I had Windows XP running on the App Store UTM SE mostly fine. I didn’t run any intensive programs, it was more of a neat (and nerdy!) party trick. It took a while to install, just be patient with it. It will likely run a lot better with the JIT support from AltStore too, been a while since I played around with AltStore's version.

If you do install Windows XP, it's worth mentioning trying out OneCoreAPI with it as well. It basically adds a Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10 and Win 11 compatibility layer into Windows XP. It's extremely hit or miss with what programs work with it, worth a try if you need to use any modern Windows applications. (Edit: Forgot to link it https://github.com/shorthorn-project/One-Core-API-Binaries)

Unfortunately, not really sure what happened with my UTM SE Windows XP install, it just kind of disappeared on me one day. I can’t remember if I deleted it, which I’m not sure why I would. Make sure you make regular backups.

I did the XP SE install and it was just too slow. Proof of concept and fun to set up, but not practical.

The JIT thing was talked about a lot, and now it's another boost for that, which may or may not be enough. Without hypervisor, it's gimped regardless (which is a bit depressing, so there's that.)

And this may actually be more proof of concept, which of course will gets clicks on news sites, but may be more hassle than it's worth.

Why Apple prevents a Parallels type app is understandable, because they seem to think the iPad is safer than Mac OS, and therefore less vulnerable in some way. Maybe this venerability is them allowing apps like Parallels? So Mac OS isn't as safe because Apple allows it to be so?
