Hello Guys, i have a surface rt 2 for several months, but the os (think win 8.1 rt) is really a shame, slow, can't read all videaos format ... by consequence, i want to know if it was possible to upgrade to win 10 or the best thing to do with my surface (maybe it's possible to install android ).
Thanks a lot .

Yannis, MS Surface RT and Surface 2 RT are ARM based processors!
No Windows 10 will ever work, Windows 10 is for x86/x64 based processors!
Android will not be possible to install neither!
You have to use it as it is!

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 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.
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.
Hello.
We all know surface RT tablets won't get Windows 10 :/
Have hou ever heard of anyone being able to Install win10 mobile on surface RT ?
There are a lot of functionnality That would be missed, but given the state of the Windows Store on w8 and w10, I would guess There would be a few gains.
Both being ARM OSes, wouldn't it work ?
yeah, but will MS invest in building and testing it for Surface RT/2? nope.
Is it possible, in any way, to get Windows 10 mobile on a Surface 2 RT tablet? Since Windows 10 is a no-show on RT devices, it would be nice with a hint of upgrades on this nice tablet..

there is no Update for Surface2 RT
I know that, but like a "hack" of some sort, to get the Mobile rom on to the Surface?
At the moment no!
