Don't know about that, since I don't have any personal experience with Netbooks, but I did a quick search on Amazon and there seemed to be Netbooks with Windows 10. What version of Windows 10, I'm not sure, though. The important thing here is whether the Netbook uses an x86 or an ARM processor. If the former, then everything is fine.

That's not true, as stated above. Only older generations of the Surface used Windows RT, and even there, only the non-Pro versions. The Pro versions of the Surface had always used a regular version of Windows with an x86 processor, and beginning with generation 3 (that is Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3), all versions of Surface actually use a regular version of Windows, Pro or non-Pro. My girlfriend has a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 and she can use everything on it she can use on her Desktop PC (such as Photoshop, for example), so basically it functions like a lightweight hybrid between tablet and laptop. Windows RT is, thankfully, long gone. As mentioned above, it was just a failed experiment that came and went. The main problem was that those older Surface devices used an ARM processor, so most Windows applications (which were programmed for x86 processors) just didn't work on those things, unless someone ported them over, but since programming for Windows RT was rather limited compared to a PC (thanks to Microsoft themselves, who limited its capabilities and had some special guidelines for applications), noone bothered with doing that, so Windows RT eventually died from a lack of applications and therefore a lack of user interest. You're safe when buying a Surface 3, though, or when buying the Pro versions of older Surfaces (which might not hold up to your demands - the Surface 3 and 4 are of course more powerful and more up-to-date, but also more expensive).
