  A quick look shows only 'How x86 emulation works on ARM'. What about
x64? And what about x64 UWP apps (assuming there are such beasts (I'm
not into UWP apps))?

  And if you don't mind, I've seen similar documentation for the
earlier non-x86/non-x64 platforms mentioned above. Until I see it and
see reports from users with x86/x64 'legacy' code, I go by the (below
mentioned) (non-)track record.
