Running Windows 11 on an iPad remotely is possible through Remote Desktop or Windows 365, both offering smooth solutions for running Windows on the iPad with a stable internet connection.
To run Windows 11 on your iPad using Microsoft Remote Desktop, you’ll need to use the rebranded Windows App Mobile, which lets you stream your PC to your iPad via the internet.
Steps to get Microsoft Remote Desktop app: download and install Windows App Mobile, prepare your Windows 11 PC, enable Remote Desktop.
To set up and finalize your remote session: start Microsoft Remote Desktop, connect your iPad to the same Wi-Fi network, click on the + sign in the Windows App Mobile app, add user account info, set up your sound, select icon of your PC.
Keep in mind that this is a remote connection, so you may experience some input lag depending on your internet speed, but you should still be able to perform common tasks like web browsing, document editing, and even some light video editing if your PC has powerful enough hardware.
Windows 365 - an alternative to run Windows 11 on the iPad. This cloud-based service, designed for businesses, allows anyone to create a virtual PC in the cloud which can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.
To get started with Windows 365 on your iPad, you’ll need to sign up for Microsoft 365 business account, add a payment method, visit windows365.microsoft.com, click on the download icon, and click Get Subscription URL next to Microsoft Remote Desktop for iOS.
Next, enter the URL provided by Windows 365 setup earlier in the Windows App Mobile app, and finalize by launching the cloud PC. With an active internet connection, you can access and use this cloud PC just like a regular Windows computer.
Additionally, with Windows 365, you can access a fully functional Windows 11 machine from any device, including your phone or other devices.
The setup even adapts to your iPad’s screen resolution, ensuring a seamless experience. But, if you experience some input lag, consider disconnecting other devices from the internet or investing in better internet service.
