Possible to install Win on Android tablet
Hi, newbie here to ask help. Hope post at right place.
Got a tablet recently, but found most Win apps have no compatible version to run on tablet. So, I want to reboot the tablet pc and install a Win 7 version because also noticed there are some Win tablet. It would work in the way, isnt' it?
The tablet got from a chinese online store, the link to the item is here.

Hi and welcome to TSF 
I would say no, your system only meets the minium requirements to run Win7.
Download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor :

Re: Possible to install Win on tablet
Thanks Basementgeek, really appreciated.
I will download and see it work or not.
Also contact the manufacturer, they said probably would not support the Window os due to the hardware spec., is so? are these Android Tablet all can't run Window os?

Hello Windyfly,

The android tablets run the Android OS.
Windows tablets run Windows OS.

Windows usually comes inbuilt on the tablet.

If it's a Windows tablet. The tablet he linked to clearly says Android OS.
So it comes inbuilt with Android.

Re: Possible to install Win on tablet
I have Googled 'Windows on Android' and found many people asking the same question. I could not find any replies saying yes or detailing how it is done.
I can only presume that it is not possible

Re: Possible to install Win on Android tablet
Thanks for that Pharoah - It sort of confirms that windows is a no-no on Android machines
