Noob questions: Can I run Windows like this? Does it enable Qemu support? Can a non ARM OS be emulated in ARM hardware? (Probably not by hardware extensions, right?)

This virtualisation is just for running ARM guests, so you can't run Windows.

There will apparently be an ARM version of Windows 10 for the pi, but that's a cut down version for internet of things type apps.

You can emulate x86 on ARM with something like QEMU. But the performance wouldn't be good enough for any modern OS.
