How can you test a web app in a Windows 10 touch screen environment? (browserstack and sauselabs don't work)

Question

I'm trying to test a website using Windows 10's touchscreen gestures. We don't actually have a Windows 10 device with a touchscreen, but www.browserstack.com and www.saucelabs.com/‎ do not have this option.

What's the right way to test via Windows 10 touchscreen, short of actually buying a Windows 10 device with a touchscreen?

While SauceLabs do provide real devices they rely on Appium to interact with the devices.

Microsoft have released a windows hardware lab kit ("Windows HLK").

There is more documentation here.

This appears to the "right" way perform this testing.

@EricBaldwin, How did you go? – Andrew Gray Nov 25 '17 at 13:23
Andrew, This looks like a series of software tests to test the actual touchscreen hardware So I don't think it will work for our use case – Eric Baldwin Nov 28 '17 at 19:04
No worries, just trying to assist with your research. – Andrew Gray Nov 28 '17 at 19:06
