The Galaxy uses an ARM processor, while Windows needs an x86 processor.

False. Windows 10 supports ARM, MIPS and x86 architectures. The Galaxy tab's hardware needs special drivers only available through bionic Linux, and without UEFI or ACPI support, it's impossible to determine the correct drivers for the device.

Purchase a Dell Venue 8 Pro from eBay. The 2GB version is priced around $100 for a complete Windows 10 tablet setup.

I recommend against using this setup. My device is merely sitting there, collecting dust, because of its sluggish performance and other problems. I've even encountered some apps that won't open at all, despite being capable of running them properly. With only 2GB of RAM, it's far too limited for Windows 10. The tablet keeps running everything off the pagefile, which greatly slows everything down. If you're considering a Windows tablet, ensure it has at least 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, plus Windows 10 already installed. Installing Windows 10 on a tablet can be quite challenging.

ARM compatibility for the desktop release is expected soon, while ARM support remains available only in the mobile version. There’s no online information about MIPS support at the moment.

Windows 10 Home/Pro is currently compatible only with x86 processors. Your device must therefore have an Intel or AMD processor. We are aware that Microsoft is actively developing a Windows 10 version for ARM CPUs, including an x86 emulator to enable standard PC applications (such as Steam, Photoshop, Firefox, Chrome, etc.). However, we understand they aim to launch support with the upcoming Snapdragon 835 or a faster processor. This likely stems from the significant CPU requirements for running the emulation. The OS performed well with the older 820 chip, as demonstrated in a demo video. Overall, it seems promising for the future. Another concern is driver availability. If you manage to install drivers and they work, you might still face issues with the touch screen not functioning due to missing support.
