Windows7 Rom on desire HD?

Hey guys,
Just wondering been looking on internet everywhere and can't find it. Can you put Windows 7 ROM from new Windows mobiles onto HTC desire HD?

I don't think it is. WP7 phones have a hardware checker or something like that, so it probably wouldn't even boot up without a lot of hacking. I could be wrong though!
AFAIK Windows 7 is only available for X86 and AMD64, so no Android phone would be able to run it even if it met the other requirements.

There are versions for mobile devices, for example I've got a gps device with windows onboard..its not windows 7 mobile but there is mobile version of win for these devices.
its not exactly as windows but has some simularities, windows 8 would be exactly the same(..so they say )

[Q] Windows 7 Phone OS on Android?

Hey guys.
I had a look at the Windows 7 Phone and I really like the OS. Is there a ROM or something I can download for my HTC Desire GSM that will allow it to run Windows 7 Phone Os?
Thanks.
Btw. I'm rooted.
Sounds like something fun to try at least. Have you looked at metro ui or launcher 7? They are pretty cool and look good on my nexus one.

there is a app for android to use windows phone on android but its not the windows os. am looking for it too but no luck hope you find it
If you get the HTC HD2 you can run windows mobile 6.5.x, windows phone 7, or android 1.6 to 2.3 on it. (and if you really want you can get windows 95 and windows xp going on it too..haha)
I've done all of the above with mine - works great.

Rooting Android Phones with OSX

If i run Windows 7 under Fusion then I should be able to root any android phones?
Yesterday I had trouble connecting an HTC Incredible so I had to use my win7 laptop but im thinking just keeping the Macbook.
Thanks!

It looks like at least the basic hardware on the tablet is supported by Windows 8 RT, but Microsoft doesn't sell it directly. Your best bet is to get in touch with someone who has a Microsoft developer account, and see if they can get an image for you. That said, Windows 8 is pretty awful. If you want to turn your tablet into a more full computer, I recommend looking at the Ubuntu Touch, Arch, or XUbuntu threads in the development section.
This tablet will never run windows rt (not absolutly true if you enjoy windows rt in qemu enviroment:silly hint the tf600 is basically this tablet with windows rt.
But even then our linux ports created by only a few people run better then 90% of windows rt tablets lol, youd be jelious of our linux if you had a windows rt tablet

[Q] Windows 8/8.1 on Android tablet?

Hello everyone. I am new on this forum.
Is is possible to install Windows 8/8.1 on the Android tablet with 512 GB of RAM, 1 GHz single core/dual core processor?
I have full MSDN subscription which gives me both original Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and I want to put them in the use. Since in the moment I don't have enough money to buy Surface RT, I want to buy some bad tablet that will be for me only for debugging Windows 8/ Windows 8.1 applications and to go on the internet.
If there is a way, please tell me.

I have never heard of porting Windows to an android device. I really don't deem it possible with the specs you have described. But nothing is impossible. Right?

ya, never heard about that at the moment
but for those devices which can use dual boot, it might works but not confirm
Maybe I won't be able to use Start Button because Android tablet doesn't have it, but I can use start from the Charm bar.
Also, I believe that those hardware specs would be ok if I turn of some processes and services so that tablet could run faster. As I have already said, that tablet would be only for the internet and the debugging (connect tablet with the PC and run the application on the tablet) and nothing else.I was thinking about USB booting, but I don't know if low end tablets have USB ports.
If those don't have USB ports, can I run the installation of Windows directly from the Android?
My tomtect excellent 10 has one full size usb and one otg usb
