This was made by dproldan but i added a control center for bluetooth and wireless for disabling and enabling them.
With these instructions you can install any version of windows XP, SP2 or SP3. It doesn´t need to be a tablet edition. I recommend using a lite or optimized version.
As far as I know, only two things are not working, resolution changer and tablet input panel. Both will be fixed soon.
You have to install Activesync too if you want to access the other half of your Shift.
Thank you to all the people who contributed on the other thread!

video driver doesn't work for me.. i don't know why...supid htc computer...
Worked fine for me! The only thing I had to do differently was use the msi file instead of the exe with the fingerprint software.
I also had a bit of trouble with the XP installation but I used an EEE USB install procedure and had to mess with the bios a bit to get rid of the hal.dll issue.
edit: holocantus, the wlan adapter doesn't always show up instantly when you push the 'on' button. I've had to switch it on and off a couple of times before it worked.

How to make the Close, Minimize & Maximize buttons bigger for easy touch.
I need a little help. In windows 7 you could go through Personalize/Windows Color and increase the size of the Close, Minimize & Maximize buttons to make them touch friendly. In Windows 8 CP I can't seem to find where to do this. Does anyone know or has anyone found where to make this change.
Thanks for the help,

Right click on the desktop, choose screen resolution. Choose 125%.
It makes everything more touch friendly. Increases fonts also along with buttons. That's what i do on my Asus tablet.
Hi all
I dont know if this is already around but i thought i would share with everyone.
So recently i updated my First Gen Omnia 7 to the latest update which then included the KK2 by samsung which blocked interop unlock.
Some people have had results restoring back and trying windowsbreak again, and some people have had no luck with this way.
I have had a result doing this way
1) Restore back as far as possible.
2) Developer unlock your phone. Search google as you can do this for free (it takes about 30-40 minutes).
3) Download and Install Windows Phone Device Manager & Windows Phone SDK 7.1
4) Using "Windows Phone Developer Registration" that comes with Windows Phone SDK 7.1, plug your phone in and sign into your windows live account that you registered with AppHub. Click Register and your phone is now registered
5) Now open Windows Phone Device Manager with your phone plugged in, this will now install "touchxperience" and you can now browse certain files, install apps etc.
6) Download http://www.wp7roottools.com/index.php/downloads/doc_download/2-samsung-1st-generation-interop-unlock. If you click Open when this has finshed downloading it will ask if you want to install. Click install and hopefully this will now install on your phone.
7) Once this has done, on your phone, go to dial a number and input "##634#" then on the next screen input " *#9908# ". This should bring up GPRS Manager , scroll down and it should say "Heathcliff73 Interop Unlock" click on this and click Save.
8) Reboot phone and You are now Interop Unlocked. Install Window root tools and what ever you want now.
If your 3G settings are messed up download and install this http://www.wp7roottools.com/index.php/downloads/doc_download/3-repair-3g-for-samsung
Enjoy
If this guide is already out there or has already been mentioned then sorry i havent come across it but i thought i would share my experience
Big Thanks to HeathCliff for his tools
I take no responsibilty in what might happen to your phone.

Since the only constructive response was "Reset your PC" without telling you how to do so even though you say "Settings and Windows 10 apps not opening", I will do that person one better and actually give you instructions for resetting.
Reboot your machine, at the login screen, instead of typing your password or PIN, hold shift and while holding shift press Restart from the Login screen (click the power button and choose Restart). Continue holding shift and it will bring you into the Windows Recovery Environment. Choose Troubleshooting, Reset This PC.
@ahmadus The user wouldn't be able to reset his PC without getting into Recovery Environment. As the Reset this PC function is exposed through the settings app that OP says does not open. In this case, the user may not know how to enter the Recovery Environment from alternative means. If you're going to provide help, actually provide constructive help.
@ShadowEO I thought reset pc is the easiest thing to do on windows 10.

It is, but it's only easy if you can access the Recovery Environment to start the process. The good news is that you can start the process using a Windows 10 Installation disc (either USB or DVD) by choosing "Repair your computer" instead of "Install" when the installer starts up.
Latest Version
Try this version: http://www.softolite.com/windows-10-lite/
This is the official trial version with the latest build.
Wrong, you should ONLY download media from sources you trust, such as the official Windows 10 media creation tool or ISOs available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, THIS is the official URL to download Windows installation media. Also @CarlRock, all versions of Windows are trials until they're licensed, that blog is not the official source of ANYTHING Windows related.
You should also NEVER use a "lite" version of Windows unless you yourself built it, or you understand both what was removed and the consequences for removing that Windows component. Many users on the Windows subreddit go removing components without a full understanding of what they do or their full purpose in the OS, then come and complain that the system isn't working right.
Just use Windows as it was meant to be used. If you don't need a feature, don't configure it, or just plain don't use it. Dont just eviscerate it from the system without a thought to stability.

You can use installation media (a USB flash drive or DVD) to install a new copy of Windows, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10.
After you've created the installation media, you can reset or reinstall Windows. To learn more, go to Recovery options in Windows 10.

Windows S mode is locked in BIOS i think. I create new USB, remove all partition, create, new, format whole disk and after fresh install I have again Windows Home with S mode. Last time I had to unlock bios to perform install Windows pro.
Another method is download iso, extract it, remove Windows home image and pack it again, create USB and fresh install.
It worked few year ago and I believe it will work now.
Edit: Removing other Windows image from installaction doesn't work.
Edit 2: I don't remember how to mod and unlock bios. But after few full clean reinstalls I break S mode without ms login. Next I upgraded OS version with change product key (from ebay). I'm not sure it's the right way for my pcs, but it's enough for my clients. I think the only right way is mod bios and unlock slic.
