AFAIK only Loongson 3 has some degree of x86 support, and that 'support'
manifests itself in that in a special patched version of QEMU the emulation
penalty is somewhat reduced, and that's it. So I don't see how Windows can be
a relevant option to be considered as an OS for any of the CPUs/SoCs currently
produced in China.
