Windows on ARM is a thing, and it does x64 and x86 translation.

The chips likely also have hardware to accelerate translation as well, to compete with M1 and M2 chips.

Where's the installation iso?

Here's an archive of all Windows updates and builds. This query is for arm64.

That's not a safe place to get isos

From a security perspective, as long as you check the hash against Microsoft's website then it should be okay. Otherwise I'm not sure where to get Windows on ARM ISO's from.

I mean yeah you're not wrong. If only the Surface wasn't so absurdly overpriced for what you get.
