With the increasing popularity of iPads, many users are looking for ways to use their device for more than just entertainment. One common request is the ability to install Windows 10 on an iPad. While this may seem like a daunting task, it is actually possible with the right tools and knowledge. In this article, we will discuss the steps to install Windows 10 on an iPad.
Compatibility Check
Before attempting to install Windows 10 on your iPad, it is important to check if your device is compatible. The iPad must be a 64-bit device and have at least 64GB of storage space. Additionally, it must be running on iOS 11 or later. If your device meets these requirements, you can proceed with the installation process.
Jailbreak Your iPad
In order to install Windows 10 on your iPad, you will need to jailbreak your device. This process will allow you to bypass the restrictions set by Apple and install third-party software. There are various jailbreaking tools available online, but it is important to research and choose a reliable one. Once your iPad is jailbroken, you can move on to the next step.
Install Bootlace
Bootlace is a tool that allows you to install other operating systems on your iPad. You can download this tool from the Cydia store, which is accessible after jailbreaking your device. Once Bootlace is installed, open the app and select “OpeniBoot” from the menu. This will prepare your device for the Windows 10 installation.
Download Windows 10 ISO File
Next, you will need to download the Windows 10 ISO file. This can be done on a computer and then transferred to your iPad, or you can download it directly on your device using a file manager app. Make sure to choose the correct version of Windows 10 for your device, either 32-bit or 64-bit.
Install iDroid
iDroid is the tool that will actually install Windows 10 on your iPad. You can download this tool from the Bootlace app. Once iDroid is installed, open the app and select “Install” from the menu. This will prompt you to select the Windows 10 ISO file that you downloaded earlier. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Boot into Windows 10
After the installation is complete, you can boot into Windows 10 on your iPad. To do this, open the Bootlace app and select “iBoot” from the menu. This will restart your device and give you the option to boot into either iOS or Windows 10. Select Windows 10 and your device will boot into the new operating system.
Conclusion
Installing Windows 10 on an iPad may seem like a complicated process, but with the right tools and steps, it can be done successfully. Keep in mind that this process may void your device’s warranty and it is important to research and choose reliable tools. With Windows 10 on your iPad, you can enjoy the benefits of both iOS and Windows operating systems on one device.
