Is there anyway of running an App on a Desktop running w10 ?

We are trialing a card reader for payments and temporarily running with an iPad2.

It would be far more convenient if we could run it on our Desktops .

    You'd need a specific App to run on Win 10. IOS (iPad/iPhone) apps won't even run on Apple Macs which use MacOS.

    I am sure there are card readers available in the Microsoft store that work on windows 10.

    The real questions is does the app you are trialling have a windows based app?

    There are strong rumours that Apple are working on allowing iOS apps to run on macOS in a future release
