Windows OS on Tablet

[chiangrai]

I have a Lenova A1000 7 inch tablet with android.

I really don't want to learn how to use the android OS.

Can I put windows on it instead of android.

It could even be fake windows as I don't do much more than

playing videos and check emails.

Your Lenova doesn't support Windows! Bottom line, you can't.

For what you do, Android is fine. Learn it or buy a tablet that comes with Windows.

Microsoft has made an offer to developers of 7" tablets, Windows 10 free for distribution.

I don't know of any developers who have taken it up.

Android OS and GUI are probably the easiest system out there. But you don't want to learn it? When you'll only by playing back videos and checking email??

There isn't really that much to learn, as "android" isn't a full-featured OS as compared to Microsoft's Windows.

Create a app store account

Download/auto-install apps from the app store

Play youtube videos or IPTV apps

Open email App (supply your login credentials once)

While Windows 10 has been developed to run on many other Tablets and SmartPhones (especially those with Qualcomm Processors) I don't believe anyone will be building a Win OS version that would run on any MTK chipsets anytime soon.

search this forum for Teclast X98

There's a large discussion on this dual boot windows 8/10/Android tablet (of which a few of us own).

O.K.

Well that answers my question.

I have learned how to do all those things Richcor.

There are two things I can't do but I will have to open a new post for that.

I have a Teclast X89 running Windows 10.. It's lovely!

They are just launching a new x98pro with 4g RAM.. Sweet!!

Some tablets come with Windows installed...like the Lenovo MIIX 300 10.1" tablet which comes with Win 10 installed....see below snapshot from the invadeit website.

I have a Windows hybrid tablet (Windows 10) and an Android tablet, I hardly ever use the Windows one without the keyboard attached, Android is a much better touch based OS in my opinion. It's not the OS itself that's so bad, its the apps. Most windows apps don't really work well with touch, if you have fairly large fingers.

Stick with Android is my advice, it takes about 30 minutes to learn how to use.

^^^^ ahhh OK then.. Honestly not interested. If anything like 8.1 they won't be as good as proper programs.

[Pib]

The Office Suite (i.e., Word, Excel, Access, Outlet, etc) or just any programs you can also run on a Windows "desktop/laptop" are not proper programs.

What are "proper" programs?

[casualbiker]

Basically anything you can run on a desktop. On 8.1 I found some of the apps problematic as they didn't seem to want to run in the background or be accessible from the task bar.

I ran Windows 8.1 for around 20 months on my Lenovo laptop...had zero problems with any apps running in background or foreground. I've been running Win 10 now for a little over two months on the same Lenovo laptop....once again no problem running apps.
