So Windows 10 on ARM is here, and I have seen a project resulting in Win10 running on an ARM phone (Lumia 950XL)
Does anyone know if there are projects to install Windows 10 on an ARM powered Android Tablet?
Anyone??
Would like to know from someone who undersntad the boot technology on ARM powered Android tabs if its even practical to modify the bootloader to load a windows image.
They can install Win 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3
They can install Win 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3, they should be able to boot in Android and Fire Tables
Afaik, there's no standard UEFI implementation yet that will boot WoA for android devices. You'd also still run into the issue of drivers, we can't just take Android drivers and use them under Windows (different kernels, syscalls and executable format), so porters would need to find or build Windows equivalents.
I also almost forgot, MS is also removing things related to calling and messaging from the system, so viability may not be good anymore.

OK, i'm hearing all the time about different ROM's being put on phones like cyanogenmod and many others. even some people dual booting. is it possible to dual boot with ubuntu and an android ROM? if you're wondering i have the HP touchsmart (has a touchscreen) would it be possible to boot into android. i've done alot of research but can't find anyone that has done it or has a guide. would it be possible to load it into my grub or are the files entirely different. i've seen people put ubuntu on phones why not android on my laptop. (oh and not the SDK...its too slow to be seriously used and then i'm still using it as more of a virtual machine than an OS)
google search Chromium OS , Beta build , lolz , looks like android
Chromium OS is not android in the slightest!
If you want to play with Android on your PC, there are two ways you can run it:
A) Install the emulator - this is pretty slow, but gives you a phone-in-a-box you can play with

B) Use Android x86 - a port of Android that runs on PCs
http://www.android-x86.org/
(Grab the generic iso from here: http://android-x86.moonman.dk/old/)
Now either burn that to a cd, and boot from that, create a bootable usb stick with http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ or install it in a VM like VirtualBox
Hello,
is it possible to install a full Windows 8 OS on a smartphone with Intel Atom Z2420 or other Intel CPUs?

They have locked bootloaders (almost always) and non ACPI compatible chipsets (sometimes). Can't stick windows on them unfortunately, screen would be too small anyway. Would certainly be cool though.
Bottom line no. The space requirements for a full install of windows is bigger than internal space available on most of the phones out there. An alternative would be to find a way to install a working version on a micro SD.
I think, the installation on a micro sd shouldnt be so hard.
But booting could be the problem.
Or would it be easier to install a "normal" linux version?

The CPU's in most phones can only boot from the onboard flash as is. The hardware doesnt support more.
Clovertrail *by design* can only load windows *or* android (it was sold in 2 versions to do so). The windows version physically cannot load anything else, the android version cannot load anything else.
Eliminates microSD booting and also booting windows on an intel phone. You may have luck with linux on one but that can be done on ARM handsets already, android itself uses linux so it stands to reason that clovertrail may be fooled into booting it, but I dont see the advantage over an ARM handset in doing so.
I only need the x86 architecture for some programms.
And no android/ubuntu touch
PLain ubuntu has been loaded on android tablets already and they have the same hardware as phones. Most linux software is open source and somewhat easily ported to ARM as is.
Yes, i know.
But i didn´t find something for a x86 phone and if for example full ubuntu on Motorola Razr I or Lenovo K900 is the same ubuntu like on a pc, where i also can run x86-only programms.
i have a problem
i had windows 8.1 64-bit in my pc then after that i installed windows 8 32-bit in different partition after that when i reboot my pc i didn't get the dual boot option to choose between windows 8 and 8.1..my system automatically loads windows 8....
Sounds like you didn't do the installation safely with regard to the old OS. The 64-bit one may have been using a 64-bit bootloader? In any case, you may have clobbered the boot partition of the old installation. You can try using bcdedit to add a boot entry for the old OS - it might still work - but you may need top use 64-bit Win8.1 recovery media instead (and doing so you risk clobbering the boot partition for the 32-bit install).
... Do I dare ask why somebody would *do* this? I mean, I could understand if you were installing Win7 or something, and even vaguely understand why you'd install 32-bit instead of 64-bit (though these days I pretty much exclusively use virtual machines for 32-bit systems) but why in the world install 32-bit Win8 on a 64-bit Win8.1 machine??
Hello,
Can I install Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 to my tablet?
My tablet: Goclever Tab 9300 (Poland producer)
Thanks.
Best regards
windows 8/8.1 definitely not, it has an ARM processor and windows 8/8.1 requires an X86-compatible processor.
windows RT could theoretically be done, but it would require a lot of trickery and custom drivers which no developer is ever going to bother with.
so in short, no.
if you want windows on that tablet, use remote desktop, vnc, teamviewer, etc.
Hello everyone. I was using Windows 10 for Android Development but I switched to Hackintosh and I saw up to 80% improvement in compiling times. I can assume that JVM on Windows is different that macOS-Linux. So, what if you install JDK on Ubuntu bash in Windows 10 and make it primary JDK on Android Studio? Anyone tried this?
For the record my PC components are:
Intel i3-6098P
Nvidia GTX260 Core 216
Asus H110MA/M2
Corsair Vengeance 8GB
