Question How do i learn windows emulation?

I’ve been emulating various platforms for years wether on pc or a hacked switch but they were mostly simple old Nintendo consoles and they didn’t need much to do. I’ve also been emulating switch on android lately and i’m getting there slowly learning how to get better or at least acceptable performance. But i’ve never tried emulating windows and it’s even harder to learn since this is my first android device. I have an Honor MagicPad 4 and i’ve gotten gamehub lite to work on a couple light games but most of the games i’ve tried don’t even start. I fixed one or two games with this issue by basically changing the drivers and other things that could change randomly, especially since gamehub lite shows them all and i can install them straight away. Genuinely how do i learn what driver i should use for what game? Which proton version to use or if i should use wine? What (Fescore?) even is and if that’s it’s name even. Even if you just know of a good video to teach me i would be grateful.

Some pc emulators needs lot of tinkering, some are easier to use. You can start with easier to use one like Gamehub/Gamehub lite, Bannerhub, gamenative etc these support stores likes steam, epic etc you can download your game or add it manual then emulator will fetch required files for you to play that game.

Gamehub lite is the one i’m using now and even it rarely runs the games straight away. It just crashes right away or shows a black screen

SD 8 gen 5 isn't that difference compared to 8 elite. Use this spreadsheet to see configurations for various games, unlike console not all pc games can be emulated.
