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.

Windows 7?

It is possibly to install Windows 7 and dual boot in tablet with Honeycomb 3.1???
I saw that the tablet its selled with windows 7 and honeycomb, i want to use both, d u know a way to do that?
Thanks a lot and sorry about my english

Windows 7 = x86
Transformer= ARM
Cant do it. The one that dual booted used an x86 processor, I think.
When Windows 8 comes out, might be able to do that.

Thanks for the quick reply ^^

Another option, since dual booting won't work, is if you have a Win7 system already, you can just remote desktop into it. There are a few threads on here that have discussed the best RDP client to use.

You can get the Iconia W500 tablet... which runs on Windows 7 with x86 platform... then you can try dualbooting Android x86 on it... I know Android x86 run pretty decent on the Asus T91 tablet.

However, you can install Ubuntu on it (the ARM version of Ubuntu that is). But still its not straight forward dual booting, where you can restart to the other OS. Read more here : DEV Thread, HOWTO Thread.
The other alternative is to use a remote desktop client, Splashtop HD is a good client if you want very a fast frame rate (for watching videos n stuff).

Windows 8 on adroidphone???

It's possible,in your opinion, install windows 8 on androidsPhone?

Techinically yes, but will take a lot of effort in process
After all the core hardware (a cpu, RAM, flash) remains the same for all : Android, Windows, iOS & PC !
with correct mods we can even install windows 7 or XP on a android phone !

Windows on x86 based android phones?

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:

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?
