Not a chance. With Windows 10, Microsoft is limiting use of ARM processors to tablets which are 7" and less, and mobile phones- and both of those platforms will not run desktop applications. >8" tablets, laptops, and desktops will all use x86.
Yup, stupid decision by Mircosoft to drop Windows RT. For Microsoft it should have been of strategic importance to support Windows on ARM (e.g. full featured Windows for ARM like Windows RT). In addition they should have opened desktop development for WoA as Windows RT had all the liberaries, subsystems and API available to run desktop apps.
Now they are back in the x86 corner with no way out...
If you know of a categorical denial of availablility of Windows 10 on larger form-factor devices with ARM processors, I would be interested to have a reference.
Well if you take the fact, that Microsoft does not plan to have an upgrade path to Windows 10 for their own ARM tablets (Surface 1+2) it seems likely that they dumped the build path for ARM for Windows 10. And even if they have not dumped it (and it is internally still available), they at least would need a single device on the market featuring (full) Windows for ARM in order to gain traction in the developer community.
