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?

You can run the Windows 10 IoT Core on the VMware workstation:

That won't work. It is not running an OS of any kind, it just makes it look like you have node running on a Pi. You need to look at something like qemu. I've run Raspbian in qemu. Never tried Windows IoT core.
