No, Android devices do not support installing Windows natively.

This implies there might be a method to set up Windows on other Android devices...
It could be a good idea. I've always dreamed of playing some classic PC games on the move. Most modern phones can handle 2012 AAA games, which is pretty impressive considering how far technology has come.
It seems the conversion from x86 to ARM by Microsoft isn't reliable enough for smooth gameplay.
This comes from the idea of a tired coder picking up a challenge for a fresh gadget. Such projects usually don’t become everyday usability—more like proof-of-concept experiments.
The only option seems to be setting up an old Windows version inside a virtual machine. It might function poorly but offers the closest possible experience. ARM devices share many traits with PCs, yet significant efforts have been made to restrict their functionality, making it difficult to run standard applications. The situation is worsened by manufacturers like Qualcomm, Samsung, and MediaTek not releasing official drivers, leaving Android as the sole alternative—except for rare exceptions from certain Qualcomm chips supporting Windows 10/11 on ARM64. Such setups can work well for testing or proof-of-concept, but they often suffer from weak performance, visual glitches, and missing features like camera functionality. Battery life is usually poor due to constant high power usage, causing overheating and reduced efficiency.
