I know they current supports arm but his about the Tehran. has anyone attempted to install windows 8 on the thrive? thanks.
Not yet. I have read some information that basically says, yes, it will support ARM processores and many others, but will not have full Windows compatability unless it is running on an x86 processor. On others, it will be nothing more than a wide screen phone. Only the phone apps will work on it.
As soon as consumer preview came out the CPU requirement jumped to needing PAE, is there a way around this, i have a laptop that passes all the other requirements?
I'm sorry, PAE?

Workaround
If your CPU doesn't support Physical Address Extension you can find a workaround here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/your-pcs-cpu-isnt-compatible-with-windows-8
But if this isn't working you won't be able to install Windows 8 and I wouldn't try it because these will be against the security features in Windows 8.

in virtualbox, i installed windows 8 release preview with PAE enabled, then disabled PAE and it still works. my guess is that the installer only does a check for cpu compatibility. I'm thinking that imaging a machine with PAE and then loading the image on your non-PAE machine with something like g4u might get you around the requirement. I'd reccommend just creating a VM on a machine with PAE and then copying the vhd over but my guess is that your pc, if predates PAE, doesnt have the required horsepower to be a virtual host for another OS...
i know windows 8 needs bigger screen but maybe changing dpi working? what do you think?
You can't install Windows RT. You have to buy a device with it preinstalled.
WP8 is supposed to be based on Windows RT.
This may be a silly question but do you think it would be possible, in the near future, to have windows 10 on SATV? i remember reading something similar about the shield portable.
Thanks to who will answer this silly question
well, it may be possible to get windows 10 RT on the SATV with TONS of modding and somehow managing to get microsoft and nvidia to ok it, but IMHO , this won't happen any time soon without virtualization which means really slow ... painfully slow use.

thanks for answering! I knew it would have been nearly impossible but since there are mini pc's with much much lower specs i was wondering if..!! Thanks anyway!
The majority of the reason for the issues with your question have to do with the fact that the nvidia shield android tv is in fact due to it not having an x86 CPU
Windows RT runs on ARM processors.

its not completely impossible but it wont run very well (though it may be somewhat usable after waiting forever for it to boot).
you can use an x86 emulator like Bochs and then install windows but there hasn't been a lot of success with a very usable install, and I haven't heard of windows 10 working but I have heard of success with windows 8.
obviously the older windows versions have the most success, windows xp being the most popular but windows 95 obviously running better because of the low resources needed.
here is a tutorial : Windows XP for Bochs
you may want a full android install before trying it, and obviously a keyboard and mouse.
Windows 8 RT does support ARM but is not open source so porting it to this hardware without Microsoft would be problematic to say the least.
on top of that Microsoft dropped support for Windows RT once the Atom chip was released and they found that they could just use full x86 windows installs.
on a side note, I know its not really what you asked but if a desktop replacement is what your looking for you might try linux: link here
or a full android install (I use android exclusively for home and work successfully myself with no access at home to another OS)
im just curious about that, i dont really any info.
its kinda possible install win 10 on switch and other Tegra X1 devices.

There is a thing called Windows phone, while it unpopular for now, who knows maybe it's time to shine is soon with this Windows 11 update. And Samsung idea of implementing AMD GPU into it's devices for the very first phone that supports ray tracing, it's very likely to be a catalyst to that as well.
The leaked version of Windows 11 is still in development, and it's still gonna have much more features, it also has a built-in android emulator that Microsoft works on.
Anything is possible on Linux if you have the knowledge, you probably shouldn't do that tho as it may prove to be security fatal to your data and also from the video you can see it's a bit sluggish which is yukky in my standards. Also for obvious reasons most android apps won't work on it.
