I have a Lenovo x220t not sure if its similar to your machine or not.
I discovered the screen must support at least 2 point touch.
I had first tried a clean install of win 8 with the complete os installation cd. This wouldn't allow touch. I did a clean win 7 install, then went to Microsoft website and downloaded the $40 upgrade. Touch works fine for me now. Try the upgrade assistant and see what it says. I think if your touchscreen is a proper HID device the upgrade will allow it to work. I didn't install any drivers at all during the upgrading process, win 8 takes care of that on its own.
Maybe that might help.
My PC of the work is a netbook. It always frustrating me about the speed. I want to know what is better for it. Elementary OS luna, windows 8.1 or Windows 7.
With windows 8.1 and windows 7 I haven't a good experience about the speed. Still very slow for me. I read elementary OS is for a low requisites PC, so can it be my solution? I will try to make a partition with Windows and Elementary OS if you recommend me it to use some utilities of windows and other things like causal things in Luna.
Specifications:
1.66 GHz Intel Atom
1 GB RAM
200 GB Hard Disk (aprox)
A resolution under 1366x768, 1240x768 is the resolution.
Intel Mobile Graphics
More info: Acer Aspire One D260
Can you help me?
Thanks!!!
Which is better from a performance point of view?
My HTC running win 7 is little laggier even with minimal settings.
Cheers
I installed windows 7 and am really happy the results.
What type did u install ?
I did home basic and after boot it runs under 500mb. i can even play some games wich arent terrible.
I dont like windows 10
on my old living room pc i gave it a try only advantage is that i can run youtube in fullhd with microsoft edge but often it hangs and freezes and didnt experienced it with windows 7. 1 thing i should tell about this pc is that its an 8yr old acer so notthe best.
But based on this experience im certainly not gonna upgrade my shift.
Only if i could get wifi working still didnt got that on 7 everything else works though
Hey guys, not sure if there are many people here but I'm looking for some help. I recently bought a shift off ebay because I like the cool sliding form-factor and collecting old palm tops in general. When I got it it had vista on it. It also had a lot of garbage and porn on it from the previous seller who claimed it was mint... that's another story. I ran into some problems with it and tried to reinstall vista. Then I decided to throw windows 10 on it instead thinking it would make it run better.
Unfortunately windows 10 has slowed it down to a crawl. I can't get anything done on it. It's using up a lot of processing power to the point that the device gets hot and abruptly shuts down. I don't know what I was expecting really, it only has an 800mhz proc. Have any of you guys gotten 10 to run smoothly? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Hi,
There are a number of Windows 10 performance tips in the thread titled "[GUIDE] Installing Windows 10 Technical Preview on the HTC Shift, especially in the final couple of pages.
I'm running Windows 10 on my Shift, and despite my best efforts, it still runs very slow, but good enough for running efficient applications such as Evernote, OneDrive and Word.
My Shift gets hot but it has never suffered from overheating. Perhaps your fan is faulty. Can you hear the fan running?
Hi guys, i was always fanatic for ultra mobile pc´s, i had some vaio P, and now i bought a HTC shift, just spent 50 euros in it, so it is a bargain
I have some questions here:
1- guy who sold me told me that wifi don´t work in windows 8 ( os installed), it needs some driver to work in windows 8/10? or it´s not possible to enable wifi?
2- when i receive the shift should i format all partions and make a new install of win 10? the owner told me that hd is 60gb and have 2 partitions
3- so for what i understand, there is the windows mode and then the windows mobile mode? they are installed in diferent partitions? how does this work?
thank you
i made a clean install of win 10, win 10 is very slow for shift.... all was working less wifi, it wasn´t detecting my home network
made a clean install of win 7 home premium, all smooth and quick, fast boot time, all things are working including touchscreen and wifi
in windows 7 i cant acess 3g dont know why
another problem is that when i press windows mobile key, i only get a black screen, what is the problem?
thank you
ps. for browsing i recimend slim jet browser, really fast and smoother, and very good to use with finger
I take it by now that you have learned that only the windows side uses the HDD (and bluetooth and the SD card). The Windows Mobile side is not connected to any of these (although it is connect to Windows and so can potentially access them if Windows is running).
If 3G is not working in Windows 7, have you run the "Shift Control Centre" to ensure that "Modem" is ON?
When I installed Windows 10 on my HTC Shift from a bootable USB drive created with the "Windows Media Creator" application, I performed a new installation after first deleting all of the partitions on the hard drive. This included the factory default Vista recovery partition, which I will never need, and I'd rather have the extra Gbs of storage.
There was a 2GB RAM module you could buy for it. Also, could you put an SSD inside it to speed it up?

You can buy a 2gb module in eBay but they are very expensive
About SSD you can use it, dont know wich modelo, but its possible, but this laptop have slow processor and bad graphic, so, i dont recomend this investment at all
I've got two Shifts. One with liberated Snapvue, 2GB Ram and 128GB SSD.
Had Windows7 installed, but then tried Win10. The first Beta versions made shift run like a charm, but with each update it became slower. I then returned to Vista with AeroDesign and 3d gimmicks disabled. Now runs pretty good, fast enough and stable.
The second Shift also runs Vista. Unfortunately i'm not able to liberate its Mobile side, as it refuses to receive emails although 3G is working fine. Strange thing: though not liberated, Vista is able to use the 3G modem.
windows 7 runs ok in shift, for me it´s the best os
Running Windows 10 on my Shift. I disabled certain things such as background apps, superfetch, and Windows search.
I wonder how much impact the future Meltdown and Spectre mitigation updates will have on my poor stock HTC Shift...
Wow! Started reading this thread and I cant believe I fired up my Shift. Running Windows 8 on it. It took 30 minutes for Windows defender to update . Updating Windows now. ANyone know where I can find an inexpensive battery?
Thanks
try ebay
search for htc x9500 or htc shift
btw
win 7 is the best os for this machine
Battery
Search htc shift in ebay and some will appear. Not cheap cicra £20-30 but probably not a deal breaker either.
I have used kingspec 1.8 inch 128 gb ssd's in other devices and they work well. Their speed depends upon the interface required, if ide then this will be the bottleneck. As for the original hdd they are one of the slowest ever made and were redesigned for media player usage!
Slow down windows 10 on a 1 CPU 800mHz 1gb or 2gb?
Answer this question first!!!
I have problem with the 64 bit version of Phoenix OS. Every boot it shows error (picture in attachment). Because of that my graphic card is not detected and MESA not working. This problem only exist in the 64 bit version, in the 32 bit version MESA worked. I would appreciate all the help since in 32 bit MESA didn't give much quality detail in games, because of that i can't enjoy gaming on it. I use Remix OS too, and MESA worked perfectly and give the quality which i wanted in games but i don't really like it much since it's gaming toolkit doesn't support FPS games which i'm eager to play unlike Phoenix OS which support FPS games in Game Helper. Thanks in Advance.
Here is my laptop specifications.
