Hello All,
I know this may be a long shot, but at CES this week Samsung announced the new TabPro S running Win10. I got curios and saw my Note Pro with a huge screen and thought... "What if there's a way of getting Win10 running on my NotePro". So here i am, I've spent the better half of the night till morning searching the internet for a blimp of something related and came up with nothing. So im here today to ask:
1. Is it possible to boot Win10 on the NotePro?
2. How can i determine if it can or cannot?
3. Whats needed to make it work?
4. Find the blocks preventing it from working and find a way around it or thru it.
Would be cool to make it dual boot. Have it ask you "Android or Windows?" When it turns on. Lets make this happen!
The desktop version of Windows 10 does not support ARM, so it isn't possible. Windows 10 Mobile is designed for ARM but I would say that there is no way to get that version to boot either. And I don't think there is any reason to even try, as Android is really superior to Win 10 Mobile.
When you say Win10 mobile, do you mean Win10 IoT (Internet of Things)?
I know IoT is compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 and Arduino devices, I wonder if someone works on it, it could be installed on android tablets and phones...

So I've been doing a lot of looking around and I got a surface w. 8.1 for work as I needed MS Office. The only thing that I would like to be able to do is to MOD it so that I can put Google play on it and run android apps. I see that there is application called BlueStacks an emulator, I downloaded the .exe but the surface gives me the message that it can't run the exe. I went into the device and configured it to all untrusted apps via a YouTube I found and that did not work.
I'm not looking to make major changes to it. I am happy with it but want to add my android app. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Btw I am a complete noob on how to do this.

I use DuOs. Haven't had one issue with it at all. It uses a newer version of android than bluestacks runs everthing like an android tablet would. They give you a free trial soo after that its not free. But i think the trial is like 30 days.
Cool do you have a direct link?
Ya I did some looking up online and it doesn't say a whole lot on where to start and get set up with the 30 day trial and what not. Any suggestions
Here's the link. Like i said, it's a free trial with all the features for 30 days. Then after that its a one time charge. I liked it soo much that I bought it and have been using it for a couple months without issues. Once installed you'll have to setup the android stuff just like its dual booting. You'll have to type in the wifi passwords and select the wifi networks. There's also a box to check in the android settings to give full root access to run android programs that require a rooted device. One thing that i recommend is closing the DuOs program completely when finished. You can switch between windows and android just like using a regular windows program but it doesn't like when windows goes in "sleep" mode while its running. I always close the program when i'm not using it. The app can be ended by entering windows task manager if it ever becomes unstable but i haven't experienced anything other than the waking up from "sleep" mode. I've noticed with several games that my surface running Duos, plays them smoother and more responsive than my Sony Xperia Tab Z. Hope this helps!

Thank you I downloaded the .exe and it will not run on my tablet. There was jail break .bat file that I ran on the surface but how do I check to see if it worked ?

What model surface are you using? Is the os win 8.1? Everything that i've installed on mine installed just like a pc.
windows rt 8.1
32 bit os
arm processor
2gb ram
NVidia tegra 3 quad core cpu 1.30GhZ
The error that I get states that it can't run this app on this PC.

That's your problem there. As I understand it, you cannot install third party apps on the RT version of windows. You will only be able to install apps from the microsoft store.
Damn regretting RT 8.1 more an more everyday
Cheatman put together a great tool for running Android and Ubuntu off a memory stick on an Asus tablet. Should it work on any tablet, x86 or x64? I tried it on my HP Stream 7 (x64) and was actually able to bring up Android, but then it would eventually freeze up after a few minutes or less. There were a couple of ominous error messages as soon as the bootup started, including an ioremap error (see attached screenshot). I got my Stream 7 as a gift, but would much rather have Android running on it than the Windows 8.1 it came with.

Hi,
Did you get any solution to this? I've tried multiple build and always have the same freeze issue.

I tried version 1.5 and got all the way to Android running on the tablet, but it still freezes randomly and I can't download any apps. Too bad, because it looks great otherwise.
Yep, same thing.
Tried also directly the new Android x86 4.4 R3, but same issue
I assume the freeze on boot after grub is according to 32/64bit.
Regarding Android-IA Kitkat is 64bit Kernel with 32/64bit userspace.
Therefore Kernelpanic on 32bit Atom.
Hi, is anyone using Netflix with a device powered by a x86 Intel CPU?
I've never seen the offline download option within my Tablet (Zenpad 10 Z300CNL), it's been almost an year since when Netflix introduced this feature.
I thought the feature would come with a future update, I waited patiently the updates for several weeks (the x86 app is updated way less frequently than the arm version) but now, several month later, still no sign for the download feature.
I really don't understand whether the feature is missing for this platform (but why should it?) or there is a specific problem with my device.
Can anyone share its experience?
Hi everybody.
Here is the story of the pointless week I just had. Some of the information might be needed to help me, but if you want you can skip to the end for the actual question.
I got hold of an old surface rt at my girlfriend's place and, since I left my laptop in my own house, I thought I might try to set it up and use it for a few things I needed to do (not much more than checking emails, watching youtube and stuff like that). I quickly realised the device was a bit useless (microsoft store and windows update were not working properly, internet explorer being internet explorer and so on).
I then found a guide from alexenferman, and a few threads in this forum, on how to install windows 10. I am neither developer nor a true geek, but I can follow instructions and I messed about with this type of things in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try.
The first half of the process went quite smoothly and I was able to install windows 10 with SecureBooth disabled. The only issues I had were that I could not update windows 10 either, and I could not sign in with a microsoft account, which prevented me to use the store again and I had no way of installing apps from the appstore put together by alexenferman.
Quite frankly, I just got tired of wasting my time, so I decided to revert back to 8.1. For that, I first clean installed windows 8. Then, since I could not update to 8.1, I used a usb recovery image and reset my surface rt with windows 8.1.
At the moment I am on windows 8.1, the store works, but windows update doesn't. I keep checking for updates and get different errors. After troubleshooting a couple of times I now just get error 8024A000. I looked it up and tried the methods found online, sfc scannow cannot find anything, other fixes do not really work. Basically I feel in a loop and a bit lost (Speaking of loops, contacting microsoft support has been an infinite loop between the windows and surface division).
tldr: is there anybody here that can help me with updating Windows 8.1 RT (My goal would be to get to update 3 and possibly jailbreaking after that)? Did I mess things up irreversibly by installing windows 10? Should I just buy a new tablet and chuck away this useless piece of junk that is causing me a nervous breakdown? Thank you very much for your attention, and sorry for the lengthy message but I need someone to talk to, somebody that doesn't simply repeat a script.
Updates ( read: patches ) automatically get rolled out by OEM if they deem it necessary.
I have had to get hold of a phone, rapido and cheapo - which meant me having to bypass a replacement iPhone option;
Now I have purchased for just a pony a Chinese XGODY android phone, which works - however I am having many issues rooting it and anglicising the rom/recovery/bootloader. And of course updating the OS; it says it's running 10, but as far as I can tell that is BS, it is running either 5 or 6 - lollipop or marshmallow.
Now I need a little advice on what to do to put a newer OS on it; or preferably put a linux based OS on it
NB. I run Linux mint, but also have a vmware win11 I can spin up;
Ps. I do also have OTG connector
Any advice would be great; I have reinstalled devices before, HP Touchpad from WebOS to Android, using Cyanogennod and TWRP; but am stuck on this Chinese bugger; there doesn't even seem to be anything about it on web or forums anywhere;
Thanks for your comments/advice
