Hi, I am not professional but as I read the new Win 8 released last night is compatible to ARM processors and transformers have ARM processor!
Is it possible to install Win 8 on a asus transformer.
please guide me
thank you
No, it's not possible. Windows 8 is not Windows RT. The processor would be compatible with RT, but the rest of the hardware is not, and you cannot buy Windows RT without the hardware it is preinstalled on anyway.
And Windows 8 RT needs an special locked boodloader (like the Ipad for example).
But maybe there will some day ab cracked windows 8 rt version wich run on devices without an secure bootloader. But my personal meening is, that the TF101 will never run windows rt. It is an old Android Tablet with old hardware and the Tf101 community shrinks.

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.

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.

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!
Hello.
Is it possible? I mean, the Windows 8 compatible with ARM processors has been launched, well, I have a gingerbread tablet (or an big smarthphone) and I'm asking if it is possible, I think yes, but if yes, how it will be? Like on PCs, "just" install? Or like the android way: Putting right libs and bla bla bla?
Actually it is not possible. Win RT only sold with hardware. Hardware needs UEFI secure boot to run win8 rt.
Maybe some day there will be a workaround... but I won't count on that.

Not yet
We are not yet ready for that kind of dual booting yet. Only Oem's do right now. Windows 8 aint even out yet
Hello there,
I am not too sure if this is a vague questions however I was wondering if an Asus Transformer tablet can be made dual bootable with Android and Windows 7?
Has any one tried or thought of it or heard about it or if it do-able, please let me know.
Cheers,
Ashish
No. I believe our tabs run ARM, whilst Windows is coded to run on x86/64 architecture.
Thanks Chris, for your reply. is there a possibility to dual boot Android and Windows Phone 7 on Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance,
Ashish
no WP7 is closed source. It also only supports 512 mb ram and a single core processor
It's exactly this sort of naive question that means Microsoft will able to sell more than 10 Windows 8 tablets.
It won't run Windows 7 because it runs ARM CPU. And Windows 8 tablets won't run windows applications for the very same reason.
Why do you guys want windows 7 on a tablet? I have played once with Win 7 tablet and it's pretty awkward though it's very nice to have the programs you use on your PC.
Any one know is it possible to install ubuntu for tablets on Surface or Asus vivo tab? Any work in this direction?
are we talking ARM or x86. Both the surface and vivotab are available in either version.
For the ARM tablets (surface RT and vivotab RT) then no.
For the x86 tablets, still no as ubuntu for tablets is for ARM at this moment in time. It could probably be recompiled for x86 though. Also you already have access to full ubuntu anyway.

Hi SixSixSevenSeven
Not that I know the answer.
But you say the ARM version of ubuntu will not work on Surface RT.
Can you please explain why this will not work?

UEFI secure boot and driver signing.
The surface has been locked down so it will only boot into code signed by microsoft. Ubuntu is not signed by microsoft so will not boot.
Maybe one day someone will find a workaround hack. When that day comes you may then be able to have ubuntu on the Surface RT. Right now though it is not possible to run anything other than Windows RT. It might take months or even years before someone finds an exploit that we can use or it might never happen. If thats what you want to do on your device then maybe the surface RT isnt for you.
The surface pro (intel core i5 which is an x86 chip) however can have its secure boot disabled in the control panel and does not need driver signing. Being a regular x86 device the pro is not actually any different from any other laptop or desktop you have bought and provided with either a bootable USB stick or a USB optical drive will run the full version of ubuntu.

Thanks for your feedback :good:
I think this answer make it clear for at lease me
Quick question guys, im thinking in buying today the microsoft surface 2 (none pro) with windows RT can i install the standard windows 8.1 so i can download any apps i want as oppose to the windows store? If not then i was thinking in the asus t100, whats your thoughts on this?
Windows 8.1 RT working on ARM CPU. Windows 8.1 working on x86-64 CPU. The answer is no.
Yep. May as well ask if you can buy an iPad and install OS X on it so you can run software that isn't in the iOS app store. Sigh...

You certainly can not. An ARM processor is very different from an x86 processor. Go for a Surface Pro. They're fantastic.
