Hi everyone!
EeePad transformer is for me a real good tablet and it would be perfect if it could fit my regular computer use. That's why i'm asking if there is a way to put windows 7 (not windows phone 7) on it...Like a kind of dual boot...
I know there are way to put ubuntu on a HTC Desire HD, but i think its different...
Thanks for your help.
Afraid not. Windows 7 does not (and will probably never) support the Tegra 2 platform.
You could connect to your Windows PC using RDP/VNC though - maybe that will be usefull for your purposes.
Moved as not Development
Though you might eventually be able to put ubuntu on it... maybe that would serve your purposes?
There's no ARM version of Windows 7, so this isnt possible just yet though Windows 8 will have an ARM version.
Ubuntu, and other Linux flavours, do have ARM versions, so I wouldn't be surprised if Transformer specific ports turn up sooner or later.
Regards,
Dave
Windows 8 should have ARM support......and tablet mode...
But will the 1GIG ram be sufficient is another thing.
But there is an Windows Embedded (NOT Windows Phone/Mobile) out there which supports ARM and it supports all windows 7 Programms/Driver. so it could be a nice alternative?
Nope. Windows CE/Embedded/Phone doesn't support Windows 7 programs or drivers (and vice versa). Windows 8 for ARM will have the same problem (unless they add some emulator).
Typical Windows applications are written for x86 (Intel, AMD) platoform ONLY. Some Java and .NET applications can be run on other platforms but it's another story.

and so? how we can install ubuntu in eee pad trasformer? i'm serius!
Asus makes a slate that dual boots Android & W7.
can you post a link to this dual booting table? I would love to be able to put windows 7 on the transformer
Look for Asus Slate on google, it's not hard. It doesn't have Android though - but you could probably install and dual boot Android x86 (there is no HoneyComb version of it yet, but Intel probably works on it).

Asus slate is too expensive, who wants $1,300 tablet, that too with windows?
they are really crazy a tablet of $1300 its really expensive... and useless...

It has to do with processor compatibility.... Ubuntu supports ARM platform

I was going to say this will never be possible, although theoretically it should be possible to get Windows 7 to run on the transformer but it would probably be slow as hell.
Here's my idea: Install Ubuntu on the tf, (compile and) install virtualbox, install windows 7 virtually, profit!
i know nothing about porting windows or whether or not it can even be used on this tablet...
do any of you know if we could dual boot windows rt on this?
Maybe

I am also interested in this question. If someone finds the time reply please.
It seems to be a possibility bc Asus is releasing a windows 8 tablet with the same specs as our tf700 except more ram.

Not possible and illegal if it would somehow happen. That's like porting iOS to an android smartphone or tablet.

Not quite. iOS is meant to run only on Apple hardware. Android and Windows on the other hand are meant to be run on as many pieces of hardware as possible.

Not to mention, you would need the source code for iOS. Android is open source thus allowing developers to port it onto any capable device.

Did anyone check Windows 8 RT's architecture? If it's x86 it's not going to work with ARM.
Edit: Boink! It's ARM, we should see it on here in the future. Maybe Windows 8 RT will avoid the ridiculous I/O problems we currently have.

I don't think it's possible because Windows RT won't be released for consumers. It comes preinstalled.

Just saw this on engadget. http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/17/asus-windows-8-tablets-599-799/
It shows a TF600T, seems to be about the same specs(with the little they show) as our tf700t. Maybe that will mean that we might be able to dual boot win 8!?
I sure hope so!
While theoretically it is possible to dual boot both Android and Windows RT if you can hack the UEFI firmware, I don't bet my money on the tf700 being able to boot Windows RT. Microsoft has made it very clear for all OEMs that there must be no mechanism to disable secure boot on Windows RT. So, as far as I can understand, there are 2 problems:
1. Windows RT is only available to OEMs to preinstall on their devices and it won't be available to the public.
2. Windows RT requires UEFI secure boot, which won't allow anything else to run, including Linux.
Business as usual, I don't expect Microsoft to play nice with Android.

Yeah, because Windows is just so well known for making the most out of available hardware...

Have you ever used Windows 8 RT?
I want ask experts around here if there is really a chance of windows 8 being installed in our TF300T in the future? a month from now windows 8 will be out but I have no clue if it will be available for TF300T. I'm really pissed in looking for a powerpoint alternative that can create "quality" presentations in android. If it is really a big NO then I might opt for an upcoming windows 8 tablet which I don't want to do as I'm enjoying my TF300T now except for the presentation part which I badly need for work. Thanks!
The big issue, or one of the big issues, is it would pirating windows 8.

No it wouldn't it would just be renovating just like Apple.

windose? that would be terrible to ruin such a nice tablet.
Wouldn't Ubuntu(Linux) be easyier to port?
I don't know much about Ubuntu but I think there you could also get styles and of ubuntu you could get the license easier (if there is one, I'm not sure...)

Why dont you just remote desktop to a home PC using splashtop 2, OR buy a subcription to OnLive Desktop (if you are the US). It gives you a full windows environment for a set monthly fee.

unfortnately i'm from the philippines and theres no app similar to onlive desktop that is available in here. My PC at home is being used by my wife so I can't make use of the remote desktop as well.

You can download the app from my dropbox here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uscnxvtf320ct2t/com.onlive.desktop-104621.apk
You may need to go to the onlive site to make an account first, or if you have an account for the onlive gaming app, you can also use that.

I love windows 8 *_* The tf300 has the tegra 3 cpu... And w8 rtm is based on this cpu... it's impossible to see it on tf300?
I haven't much knowledge in this topic, but I'm guessing the bootloader locking by Microsoft will be the main issue to work against for an android/Windows 8 RT dual booting tablet.
Experiment!!!
By this time I already have a Zenbook Prime running W8.
As all of us know there is special version of the OS for ARM processors called Windows 8 RTM.
The transformer has a dock station which has USB 2.0. So in theory it is possible to load from USB-drive BUT
I don't know if the transformer's motherboard has BIOS or smth else.
I'm gonna have an experiment and give u the results
And ofcourse if u know smth else, please share it:good:
That would need to made a complete new bootloader for our device, and we don't have any sources of it and on JB we can not flash any custom bootloader because it is signed by ASUS, so just a dream, forget about this idea.
And the storage is sooo small for W8
Hey guys I've been in and out of the transformer forums mainly because I like where I'm at on my tf300. But since the release of Ubuntu tablet, I was thinking, Could our tablet support a port (or direct build) of Ubuntu tablet?

yes, but its still in its early development phases so you'll have to wait a while.
Yep you really can't have it yet. You can install vanilla Ubuntu or many other distros though. Heck put Backtrack on it and you'll have a sweet network tool.

Might be easier than you think
One of the reference platforms for Ubuntu Tablet Edition is the Nexus 7. The TF300T is essentially the same hardware. Heck, even the screen resolution is the same even though it's physically bigger. I plan on giving it a go myself just to see what happens

Hi I've just tried this using VMware Workstation and the pass-thru works find but Linux knows your device is TF300 so it doesn't let you install it.
Guess we are going to have find a way to make Ubuntu think your device is a Nexus 10 to install
Can you just edit the build.prop to trick it into thinking its a Nexus 7? I have done this on my Note 2 in order ti get PS Touch.

Is there anyway you can install Windows 10 on this device?
Nope nope nope. There are no tf101 hardware drivers for Windows

Sadly - maybe because what they wrote was true at the time? - there have been a number of categorical, completely incorrect, replies to this question. I OWN an ASUS EEE tf101 powered by an Intel x86 "Atom" CPU. It was (originally) provided with Windows 7 installed. I ALSO own an ASUS EEE tf101 that's powered by an Nvidia Tegra - it runs Google Android "Ice Cream Sandwich". Yes, I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to the EEE series. (I also own the SL101 "Slider"!) So, rabbiting on about "Windows RT" rather misses the point. (Yes, I also own a couple of "Surface RT" tablets!) I stumbled upon this thread looking for drivers to upgrade my ("Intel Inside") transformer from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
As of right now, I cannot state categorically that I'll find the drivers I need (drivers for the physical keyboard) and therefore cannot (unlikce some) categorically state that it is NOT possible to install Windows 10 on an EEE tf101, but it certainly IS possible to run WIndows 7. Becaus ASUS made both Intel Atom and Nvidia Tegra versions on the TF101.
Update:- a GOOD place to look for my missing drivers seems to be the Microsoft Forum (e.g. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...touchpad/d954a1a0-b206-4611-9e60-9fddddd90ee0 or https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ter-fall/ac0ac2c7-937b-4e83-be99-ae5af4c9a434)
