Installing Windows 10 on a super cheap tablet: Learn from my mistakes

By Desire Athow 25 August 2015

A few steps that turned into an ordeal

Windows 10 is pretty lean and easy to install but you still need a keyboard and a mouse. As I discovered in my previous experiments, the OS installation process doesn’t coerce you into plugging your device into a power socket.

You can’t run Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 on the Linx 7 tablet – trying to do so will bring up an error message saying that Windows 10 will not install on a compressed operating system (the Linx tablet uses a slightly different version of Windows 8.1, one that comes with WIMBoot).

The only other option is to perform a clean installation, and that’s exactly what I did. To achieve this, first of all I charged the tablet, then I used an adaptor (micro-USB to USB), a 4-in-1 USB hub, a Bluetooth keyboard and a USB memory stick with the latest Windows 10 ISO and the necessary drivers.

You will have to access the BIOS and modify the boot sequence, then reboot. Follow the instructions (this is a standard Windows 10 setup, so should be fairly easy to execute) until you boot to the desktop (remember to remove the USB Boot drive or the setup process will start again).

Note that you won’t be able to use the touchscreen during installation and the whole process will take place in portrait mode. The first thing you want to do is get Wi-Fi running; look for a Generic SDIO device in the device manager.

No sign of touch

From there, I couldn’t get the touchscreen to work and that was it – no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the right driver. I don’t blame Windows 10 but it shows that on more exotic hardware, Microsoft’s latest operating system might have a very hard time getting it right.

As for the Linx 7, I am currently forced to use it with a keyboard and a mouse, and the performance is far from being silky smooth even without any applications running. That’s what you get running on 1GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.

But you can expect Microsoft to tweak Windows 10 further and deliver a slimline, compressed version like it did for Windows 8.1 for tablets, which will hopefully improve overall performance.

After initially installing Windows 10 10122, I updated to the final version of Windows 10 from inside the Insider preview itself using a standard bootable USB key. Wi-Fi is on by default but no sign of trouch capabilities.

Here’s how to install Windows on Android tablets

While there are some Windows 10 tablets you can buy, there are even more Android-based tablets that are available, and many of them even come with keyboards that let people work on them like they would on a Windows desktop or tablet. But what if you wanted to install Windows on your Android tablet? If you want to risk voiding your tablet’s warranty, there is a program called Change My Software that promises to install Windows on Android devices.

Change My Software may allow you to install Windows on your Android tablet.

Keep in mind that this application is unsupported third-party software, and is not authorized by either Google or Microsoft. Also, your tablet may not have the hardware enabled to run Windows, even with Change My Software. In other words, you will be downloading and using this program at your own risk.

With that out of the way, here’s how to install Windows on Android tablets with Change My Software.

Note: Since you aren’t actually buying a copy of Windows for this transfer, at best this is a gray area experiment. In other words, proceed with caution.

Download and install Change My Software

First, you first must install the Change My Software application on your Windows-based PC. There are several versions of the app, each for a different version of the OS (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10). You can download all of the versions in one ZIP file at the link below.

Steps to install Windows on Android

After you install Change My Software on your PC, here are the steps you will need to install Windows on your Android tablet with this tool.

1. Make sure your Windows PC has a high-speed internet connection.
2. Connect your Android tablet to your Windows PC, via a USB cable
3. Open the version of the Change My Software tool you want to use.
4. Select the Android option in Change My Software, followed by your desired language
5. The Change My Software app should then start downloading the required drivers from your Windows PC to your Android tablet.
6. Once that’s done, click “Install” to begin the process. Obviously, you should keep your tablet connected to your Windows PC for this entire time. If you want to dual boot between Windows and Android on your tablet when the process is finished, you should not check the “Remove Android” box in the Change My Software app.
7. Once Windows has been installed on your Android device, it should either boot directly to the Windows OS, or to the “Choose and operating system” screen if you decided to make the tablet into a dual boot device. After that, your version of Windows should then begin its own normal setup process.

Install Windows on Android – Conclusion

While Change My Software is supposed to work, we have to emphasize once again that installing Windows on Android tablets will void their warranties, and that the software itself is unsupported and not approved by Google or Microsoft. Did you find success in using this program to install Windows on your Android tablet? If not, did you find another way to run Windows on Android devices? Let us know in the comments!
