How can i get windows rt on my android tablet. I have been searching around and keep coming up with this answer, " Windows 8 can't run on an android tablet because it is designed for x64/x86 devices, not arm based devices." Obviously those other people did not read my question properly or they just haven't done their research on the windows rt. I am asking about windows rt, which was designed to run on arm based devices. So theoretically you could switch from android to windows as long as you are comfortable with the limitations of windows rt. My problem is that i don't know where to get windows rt let alone install it onto my tablet. Anyone know how? If not Are there any custom roms that are designed to function like a windows tablet?

Uh?.. I'm thinking no, the ARMv7 Processor was not designed to run intel based operating systems.
short answer: no
Operating systems require drivers. This is the same reason when you install linux on a computer you have to go searching for those pesky Broadcom drivers so your wireless works. There has been some progress in porting a whole operating system to a device not intended for it (Android on HD2 is the furthest progressed as far as I know), and there are some ROM's/launchers to bring the WP7 experience to Android.
if you're talking about Windows 7 i'd say no way! even with the announcement of Windows 8 running on ARM....
Ok thanks.
Ya if your looking for the layout or widget stylings check out "7 widgets Home Plus", plus one of my coworkers just bought a windows 7 phone and has had 3 viruses in 1 week. I am by no means an anti windows person...just not the best mobile enviroment as they have proved time and time again...
Windows can not run on ARM processors as the code is not made for it. That's why you see x86 and x64 editions of Windows, it only supports those processors.
However, Windows 8 promises ARM support as well as increased tablet usability, but its Microsoft, so who knows.
You don't really need Windows anyways.
AS OF 11/02/2012 THERE IS NOTHING ON THIS YET. THIS IS JUST TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Well this topic has bound to come up as soon as it was announced Running Windows RT on Android devices.
What boundaries are there?
Limitations?
The first thing that comes to mind (obvious but....) are drivers. Can someone confirm that Windows RT supports mobile radios?
Yup, its supports mobile radios.....
Something related would be WP8 drivers on WRT...........
whats keeping us from just pulling the software and burning it as a bin to a usb drive then booting it on an android
Hi guys!
As you, I'm trying to port Windows RT to Android.
There are good possibilities, but I haven't got a ISO of Windows RT and a Android tablet .
I hope to find a iso as soon as possible.
Ciao, Marocco2

Hey, what are you talking about?? Windows RT isn't in ISO form. because it is a flashable OS, it's not like Windows 8 or any other desktop OS, but like Windows Phone or Windows Mobile. Maybe flashing WinRT to system with Linux can be possible later, but not now.
I was curious about this, if the android smartphones/tabs powered x86 intel processors can be used such that we can install desktop windows or other x86 OSes?
Unlikely as we would need to build drivers for the phone which is rather difficult when the manufacturers like to have things on lockdown most of the time, also it would probably brake some strange contract with Microsoft as most things do. Look at the Surface and Surface RT
Also the UI (Even Metro) would struggle to work on the display adapter
So in short no we can't run Windows on x86 Android phones, yet anyway
Install Android in Windows without Virtual box
I tried this product DuOS which will install Android version Jellybean in Windows 7/8/8.1 platforms. This one is very simple for use comparing with Bluestacks and has good performance for applications. Refer the link for further details and installation check the website for amiduos:good:
When I try to jailbreak my surface rt it can't find the registry key. Please helppp!!!
Uh, what? What do you mean by "jailbreaking" in this context?
In any case, the ARM-based Surface RT family of tablets cannot currently be jailbroken in any way, shape or form. You're stuck with the Windows operating system and Microsoft's application store. If you want a device where you can install a different OS, such as Android or Ubuntu, get a Surface Pro instead.
Sorry to bump in here... But I figured out how to get a shell (cmd) as SYSTEM user on Windows RT. And now I would like to know if anyone knows whether this helps in making the device dualbooting with Ubuntu (or single boot with ubuntu) *sigh*
EDIT: I just didn't want to start a new thread...
Hi all,
Just bought a Windows Surface RT 8.1 off of someone thinking I could use this as a regular Windows PC. That was a mistake lol. I've been trying to figure out what the current state of jailbreaking/running x86 apps is since most of the jailbreaking articles and info is from 2013.
I was able to do this https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...ent/windows-8-1-rt-jailbreak-exploit-t3226835
and boot into Test Mode. Does this allow for running ARM compiled apps?
Thanks.
