If you have a Mac, the easiest method would be just to open the DMG file and create a Zip file (which Mac's support natively,) then open the Zip file on the PC. Professor106 said about 2 years ago.

What it does I've no idea other than to access 'sealed content' which I found from a quick Google search. You can not access.dmg files on an iPad.
Find your files
The Files app includes files on the device you're using, as well as those in other cloud services and apps, and iCloud Drive. You can also work with zip files.* To access your files, just open the Files app and choose the location of the file you're looking for.
Save a copy of your file locally
You can find locally stored files in On My [device], under Locations. On your iPad, simply drag files into the On My iPad folder to store them directly on your device. If you want to save a file locally on your iPhone or iPod touch, follow these steps.
- Go to the file that you want to store on your device.
- Tap Select > the file name > Organize .
- Under On My [Device], choose a folder or tap New Folder to create a new one.
