It doesn’t take much of a CPU to run the base windows. Without Windows unloading stuff it uses less than 4 gigs of ram.
If the device is capable of running remotely modern games it’s capable of running them on windows just fine. Microsofts garbage doesn’t actually use that much resources vs a modern full fat linux distro.
4GB is still like 3GB more vs running Bazzite or SteamOS.
There’s also the storage aspect, windows on its own with what it needs for windows updates can use like 50GB+ of space, and since most of these console come with small SSDs in the 128GB-512GB range that’s a huge downside.
Then there’s the lack of small screen optimization, lack of touch optimization, and all the garbage that runs in the background, uses resources, and constantly bothers people like onedrive and teams and other junk.

Oh this is like 90% guaranteed to be bad. Handheld gaming on windows just looks miserable with how bloated the OS is.

i’d be more concerned about battery life and how easy it is to get rid of the stock OS
