The realistic way I see it happening is more like a product split rather than an explicit migration, or leveraging compatibility layers.
One day Microsoft would say, hey, Windows 15 is Linux-based. It'll run most of your Windows stuff either natively with some nice developer tooling to make a transition or using a compatibility layer (which, as we know, Linux already has!)
But you can keep using Windows 14 for a very, very long time.
