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)

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.

Check this out....should answer allot of ??

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!
The EEE Transformer is the pick for me i think, have just bought an ipad2 a few weeks back and it sucks (no jailbreak = no customization) [No offence Apple lovers]
Tho i would love to have a Windows7 tablet with the EEE's AWSOME dock, SD Reader, USB ect ect, but also run android on it. will it be possible to dual-boot the two OS' ?
Not officially off course but eventually, is it possible for devs to port over win7 ?
might be a silly question but i have to know before i go purshasing one..

No. windows seven doesnt.run on arm hardware. Windows 8 might. But no one.knows when that is being released. But to answer ur question. No though you can remotly connect to a pc

Definitely not possible currently, as nobody has access to a Windows 7 build compiled for ARM processors, at least other than Microsoft themselves and perhaps a few outside people doing testing for them...
Eventually, an ARM build of Win7 or a future Win release (depends whom you ask) is on the cards (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/21/us-dealtalk-intel-idUSTRE73K7ZZ20110421 "Microsoft's plans to make future versions of Windows 7 compatible with ARM is another reason why Intel needs to move faster to get into Microsoft devices, Shah said"), but I'd guess you won't be able to buy it retail, and even if you can, whether or not you can install it depends on a lot more than just whether the processor architecture is right.
I'd give this a chance of "slim to none".

Your best alternative to a Windows 7-running tablet similar to the transformer would be the Acer Iconia W500, which is similar to the A500 except for the fact that it runs windows. It will also have a keyboard dock accessory, although i personally prefer the ASUS offering
Rumor has it that the Eee Pad Slider (transformer with a slide out keyboard buit into the back) will have both android (ARM) and windows 7 (AMD fusion I believe) based models.
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.
Hi,
I just wondered if there is any possibility to have Windows 8 (RT) on the TF300. It's no big loss if it's impossible, but it would be interesting to know if and why it will, or will not work.
I know that the Tegra 3 SoC will work, I know that the bootloader is open, I know that it's possible to boot other ARM-operatingsystems such as GNU/Linux and I know that it's possible to work around UEFI.
So will we see Windows RT on the TF300 in the near future?

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.
