Obviously you can't install android in your laptop like you install Windows. However, to run android on your laptop you get an android dongle.. it's got android built into it.. connect it to your laptop and enjoy android.. but i don't know if they are available at your place..

Contradictory to the above answer, u can install Android on a laptop.
Go to Android-x86.org and download the Asus variant
It may or may not be relevant to you but I strongly recommend you using Virtual Machine Software on your laptop (like VMWARE or VirtualBox) which would give you the two of them at the same time.
Not to mention you don't need to get rid of your Windows too!
THIS LINK shows how to do it in Virtualbox pretty well (sorry, not above 10 posts so just type in "virtualbox android" in youtube and this one will be the first video!)

Could we somehow install windows directly to the memory card and have a dual boot on Windows and android? Sorry for this question but I'm just wondering if this is at all possible to do on our tablets.

Since Windows is x64 and x86, and the tablet is ARM , no, and Windows 8 (RT) wouldn't work due to the fact that there is no driver support plus a few things, so shortly, No, this isn't possible

EDIT 2: See post #21 for an update. From my research, it appears that WiFi will never work in Android on the Surface Pro.

EDIT 1: See post #13 for an update.
----------------------------------
Looks like it has some WiFi fixes for tablets. And since I'm hating the Win8 OS (for my purposes), I'm going to give this a shot.
Don't see anyone else on the forum that has tried this new 4.4.
I'm downloading it now.
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1
Key Features
The 4.4-RC1 release is based on the Android 4.4.2 (KitKat-MR1 release). We have fixed and added x86 specified code to let the system runs smoothly on x86 platforms, especially for netbooks or tablets. The key features contain
Integrate the ffmpeg as the stagefright-plugins to support much more multimedia files. Now we can play HD and full HD videos in apps.
Use the latest longterm stable kernel 3.10.30 with more drivers enabled. Most netbooks can run Android-x86 in the native resolution.
OpenGL ES hardware acceleration for AMD Radeon and Intel chipsets (not include the PowerVR chips).
Enhance the installer to support upgrade from previous versions (since ics-x86). The text based GUI installer supports ext3/ext2/ntfs/fat32 filesystems.
KitKat style lanucher (Launcher3).
Support Multi-touch, Wifi, Audio, Bluetooth, G-sensor and Camera.
Simulate sdcard by internal storage.
External usb drive and sdcard are auto mounted to /storage/usbX on plugging.
Support hybrid mode of iso images.
Multi-user support (max 8).
Support Ethernet (DHCP only).
Support VM like Qemu and VMware

I didn't say it worked on anything.
And RT is a definite "no". If it does work, it's Surface Pro only.
Bummer, 4.4 doesn't work for me.
I can run the Androidx86 4.3 without any problems.
But the 4.4 just does a kernel panic whenever I try to boot to it.
And there is no use running 4.3 since WiFi doesn't work on it.

Surface RT cannot boot any alternative operating system besides Windows RT and its 8.1 update.
Looks like the problem may be fixed with the next release.

Probably.
Looks like an efivar issue.
I also encountered efivar issue on other device.
It's probably buggy.
The option is not enabled in 4.3 kernel.
Will disable it in next release.
Thank you for the report.

Maybe if a developer here knows how to disable this "efivar" in the kernel, they could recompile the kernel for us Surface Pro users.
Do not know how long it will be before Android-x86 releases the next version.
Eddie, which installation tut did you use to get 4.3 running on the Pro? I looked at the Android-x86 EFI post and there seems to be a couple on there.
Also have had you boticed any sluggishness when running apps? I'm specifically interested in MCPE to play with my kids, but any info would be great.

I got it installed but did not use any of the guides.
I'd already wiped all original partitions from my hard disk.
So I was booting directly from USB stick.
I created an Ubuntu USB stick using the latest nightly of Ubuntu.
Then added an android folder and tossed all the Android 4.3 files into it.
And then modified the grub file using one online method or another. Don't remember which.
I didn't stick with it though because WiFi doesn't work (known issue) and therefore it's useless to me.
So, I can't help with any usage reports. Sorry.
Can we install the latest Android X86 on the Surface Pro 1?
Sony Vaio Flip 14A
I have installed newest version on vaio 14A and almost it is working perfectly . I installed it Sandisk mini usb 16GB .Graphic performance is better than Note 3 ( I have used several benchmark ) . I couldn't installed it on the device's SSD disk . Because it didn't see it . Biggest problem is power consumption and it is very high . Touch screen is very responsive . Auto rotation is not working ( I am using manual rotation) .
Okay, Android 4.4 is now "working" on the Surface Pro thanks to this thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/GrPdnpa6XBM
BUT,,,, WiFi is still not working. Bummer.
Anyone know how to get a WiFi driver for the Surface Pro to work in Android? We could always recompile now that this is really the only outstanding issue.
I remembered that Android-IA 4.2.2 has working WiFi on the Surface Pro.
But I can't find the source for it, only the install files.
We can try to get the WiFi driver from it for the 4.4.

Rather than trying to extract the driver from the rerede build, why not just use the driver from the official linux kernel (kernel.org) located in drivers\net\wireless\mwifiex. Im a bit of a noob so I don't know how to do this or if it would even work or not.
Also, I tested out the rerede build and it is quite unstable. Wifi/sound doesn't work half the time, freezes after going in standby mode.

Hoping im posting in the correct place and or haven't read a previous post covering my question. If any of this applys im truly sorry in advance. Please no insults I get offended.. Big thanks to everyone for helping root my rca 10 pro 620. Question : Is it possible to install windows 8 on my rca tablet ?

Maybe yes. There are Android Custom ROMs which looks like Windows 8 phone interface.
Just search if there's such a ROM compatible for your tab.
If you don't want to flash ROMs, try Windows 8 launchers available in Google Play Store.
(If you had asked for installling Windows 8 OS as in Lumia, there's no way .)
Hi you all,
I have a question and I hope I got the group right to put my question up.
It's about installing Android on a new kind of development board: The Up-board!
It looks like a Raspberry Pi but it has some differances. It has 1, 2 or 4 GB internal memery, 16, 32 or 64 eMMC storage and an Intel x5-Z8350 QuadCore 1.44Ghz (1.92GHz) 64 bit 2W CPU. And it can run a full Windows 10 version, Windows IOT, Linus or Android version!
And now my question: were can I get a Android version that I can Install on that board?
I mean is there a site from google were one can download a standard Android version?
The up-board is still under development (you can pre-order) and perhaps they put a download link up by the time they release it to the public.
But I want to know some things in advance. "Come well prepared" you could name it.
Did you got it working ? I have same question.
