Installing Windows 10 IoT Core on simulated devices (possibly Azure Hub)


Notice: This might sound like a not-so-thought-through question to some people.

Hello,

I need to make a simple demo application running on Windows 10 IoT Core and test it properly for educational purposes. The problem is that I have no available Raspberry Pi devices (or anything embedded). Apparently, it is possible to set-up a simulated Raspberry Pi device running on Azure Hub - like explained in Microsoft's documentation.

Is it possible to install Windows 10 IoT on such a simulated device? If not, what are the other approaches to simulating Raspberry devices and running Windows IoT on them?
