Question SBC/thin client for Guitar Rig on Win 10

[Mr Creosote]

I'm looking for a SBC, thin client or other small, low wattage solution, which will run Windows 10 and Guitar Rig.
It doesn't need to be the latest Guitar Rig, I'm used to using GR5, and I'll be using a 2nd Gen Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, which should take up the slack in terms of a lot of the audio latency etc.
So it needs to be powerful enough to run Guitar Rig 5, either in Windows 10, or if it works well enough, through WINE in Linux, and it needs to provide enough power through USB to power the Scarlett 2i2.
Does Windows 10 run well enough on the Pi 4 to do this? If not, what's the cheapest x86 SBC that will handle Win 10 well enough?
Basically, I want something that I can keep hooked up to my Scarlett 2i2, that I can just plug my bass and headphones in to, fire it up, and it will load up Guitar Rig 5 and my saved presets without the need for a screen, then maybe manage it remotely from a phone or tablet with VNC if need be.
I've done this before with open source amp sim software on Raspbian on my Pi 3, but I want the same sound I get using my laptop.
Thanks!

Windows 10 does not run on RPi4. RPi4 is NOT x86 SBC.

Making a usable PC out of barebones SBC (yes, there are good x86-powered SBCs in $100-$150 range) will need plenty of work.

Bottom line: Get cheapest laptop you can find. It seems your GR5 (XP era) will run on anything current.

Thanks, I've already got a decent laptop that I use for music production. I know the Pi 4 is not a X86 SBC, but people have ported Windows 10 for ARM to it, and I believe X86 emulation or some kind of compatibility layer is possible. I just don't know if it works well enough for guitar rig.
The idea of having a SBC or a thin client running guitar rig is, firstly to have something very compact that could just stay hooked up with my Scarlett 2i2 all the time, ready to go, basically using it like an effects pedal. In fact, people have built effects pedals around a raspberry pi, but that's based on Raspbian, running guitarix for Linux.
Secondly I want a low wattage solution, and laptops are power hungry beasts. I live off-grid-ish, and although I'm on mains electricity at the moment, I could well be dependent on 12V solar electricity again in the future, so I'd like not to have to use the laptop to practice my bass for that reason too. I also already have a very decent 12V, 85W USB-C PD power supply, which can power a Nintendo Switch, so anything that powers over USB-C would be ideal. My living situation is also why I have limited space (I live in a truck) so it's not really viable to leave everything set up with a laptop to just pick up and play.
Mostly though, I just think it would be cool to try and build the smallest box possible that has high quality amp and effects simulation. I think a Rock Pi X looks like it would do the job, though they seem to be thin on the ground, I guess maybe due to similar shortages that are affecting Pi 4 production.
