Technically, it is not difficult to run a Windows application like a POS on a tablet with an Intel or AMD processor. However, it is very difficult to convince a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) that POS software running on a portable device connected over Wi-Fi is secure and compliant with PCI-DSS v3.2.
With virtual POS, it is possible to deploy a POS application within an in-store server that is physically secure and is connected to the local payment LAN in a manner that is PCI-DSS compliant. To enable mobile POS on a tablet, it is only necessary to put a remote desktop on the tablet and enable secure (TLS) access to the POS application on the payment LAN. If a tablet hosts peripherals, it is necessary to have a secure peripheral forwarding application on the tablet too.
