The computing power of modern mobile devices has almost caught up with computers of past years. Multi-core processors, rAM from one gigabyte - all these are already inherent characteristics of modern smartphones. Due to this, the user can install on the tablet as a partial, and full-featured OS "Winds.
Reasons for the installation
Install "Windows" on the tablet may be necessary for those users who are not satisfied with the functionality of the Android system. For example, it is much more convenient for you to work with a physical keyboard, and you need to constantly edit or create documents in a package Microsoft Office. Buying the easiest laptop or netbook is fun, but getting the mobile gadget to work for Windows is completely free.
To install on the "Android" tablet "Windu" , it should be determined whether it is minimum requirements. You will need a device with the architecture of the processor i386. You can install Windows 7 and 8 on such gadgets. Only "G8" can be placed on ARM processors. Learn about the processor of your gadget you can on the official website of the manufacturer or in the technical description of the device.
You only need a beautiful interface
If the priority is only to create a beautiful graphics shell that will be identical to the Windows environment, then we advise you to install a standard launcher on the tablet. In the official "Google Play" store you will find many similar applications. Thus, you leave the functionality of the system "Android", while visually will work in the shell of Windows.
Emulator: how to use
The simplest way, how to install Windows on a tablet, -it's to resort to emulator help. Due to its use, you can make a transition between systems at any convenient moment. A quality emulator is able to run without problems the version of Windows 9X. More modern versions work with "brakes", however you can install a trimmed OS.
Since the presentation of the mobile "dozens" many users immediately wanted to put Windows 10 on the phone. How to install this system to the smartphone (or tablet) worked without failures, now and will be considered. In addition to the standard instructions, we will analyze the option of installing the tenth version of this OS on Android devices.
Windows 10 on the phone: how to install? Options for action
First, let's look at the main thing: the "top ten" is best installed on mobile gadgets supported by Microsoft Corporation (initially they were Lumia smartphones, and that's not all).
On the other hand, if you really think about it, you can also solve the problem of how to install on your phone not from the list of recommended devices or with another "OSE" on board, for example, Android. True, you will have to do it at your own peril and risk.
Installation instructions for Windows 10 over Windows Mobile
So, for example, consider how to install on your phone Nokia Lumia, on which there is already installed Windows Mobile 8.1.
First you need to register in the so-called support program on the official website. As a rule, it is enough to use your "accounting" for this. Next, you must agree with all the rules and conditions, and also indicate yourself as a developer tester. 
Now you should go to the store Windows Phone Store and download a special windows application Insider. It is just designed to install the "dozens" in the form of a version of the Technical Preview (the type of how the Media Creation Tool for stationary PCs and laptops works).
It is better to choose the second option, because in this case it is guaranteed more stable work system. Then we agree with the terms of the application.
The next step is to go to the smartphone settings section and select the update menu. After the updates are found, the application will prompt you to install them. We agree. Then there will be a download, and after about 30 minutes on the smartphone will be a clean "ten". As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the installation process.
Another key point. We proceed from the fact that Windows 10 is already installed on the phone. How to install the system is already understandable, but here's a return to previous version, if in the "top ten" the user does not like something, it is better to make using a special utility called Windows Phone Recovery Tool. It was just for this and was developed.
How to install Windows 10 on the "Android" phone: what should I consider first?
Now let's see how to put the tenth version of Windows on a smartphone or tablet with Android OS on board and whether it can be done at all. 
Here you should consider several key points. First, you can use some "tens" emulator. No, of course, this will not be a full-fledged Windows 10, but if you only need to use the "Winds" interface, this is the best option.
Secondly, the "top ten" in its full-fledged form can be put, completely reflashing the device. This is where the biggest difficulties begin. If versions 7 and 8 on Android-devices still somehow you can put, then with Windows 10 is not so simple. This is due to the fact that not all processor chips of smartphones or tablets on Android support the Microsoft product. Only the processors with ARM architecture and i386 support the "Winda" installation, and the first ones are not designed for the seventh version. The latter work with the "Seven" and above.
In addition, the "dozen" will take in the memory of the device much more space than the existing "Android", so that on cheap gadgets installation new system absolutely inexpedient. In addition, the new OS can "kill" the old system, and without the possibility of recovery, and if it is installed, it can be quite slow.
Installing Windows 10 on top of Android
Suppose a user, despite all the tips and cautions, still wants Windows 10 on the phone. How to install "Windu" on top of "Android" without flashing? The problem is quite complicated, nevertheless there is a solution. 
To start downloading the sdl.zip archive and a special program sdlapp in the .apk format, after which the application is installed in the smartphone, and the archive data is extracted into the SDL folder. After that, the image file of the system is copied to the same directory (this is usually c.img). Now it remains to run the setup utility and wait for the process to complete. However, no one guarantees the working capacity of the new and old systems.
Conclusion
Finally it remains to say that the installation of Windows 10 itself on supported devices should not cause problems. But with Android gadgets should be very careful, because if you install Windu on such a device forcibly, it is not excluded that eventually it will simply fail completely. So before installing, you should think a hundred times. And if you really want to have Windows 10, it's best to use the system interface emulators. So it will be much safer. Yes, and you can download them even from the Play Market, and completely free.
In this article we will consider the question of installing Windows OS on Android.
Navigation
Many users of devices that work on the Android platform are quite happy with it, because this system has many useful functions. But for certain reasons, someone wants to try to put an alternative system, for example, Windows. Therefore, we will discuss the question - how to install Windows on Android?
Installation Methods
Installing Windows on Android
There are two basic methods for installing this system using an emulator or a complete flashing.
The first situation is suitable for using the functionality of all systems - through the emulator you can switch between systems, which is convenient if the user wants, for example, to play a game that is not suitable for one of the systems.
But a complete replacement of the operating system is not available for every device. A smartphone or tablet can have a processor that can not work with Microsoft products.
Whether you will give the processor to change the system, you can find out from the device's passport. It is important to remember that considering OS requires much more memory than Android, so if you have a cheap smartphone, forget about this operation.
Types of Windows installation
Before you start the operation, select the option that is convenient for you:
- Use the program-emulator, which allows you to switch between OSs if necessary. This method is justified if you want to use Windows programs and other useful software that only works in this area
- Install Windows on Android. This is one of the most dangerous methods, because the system can break down and you will have to do memory formatting. But with the successful completion of the case your device will change beyond recognition
- Those who like the design of Windows, will need an alternative launcher, which is on Google Play. Instead of the standard design, it will install the same as that of Windows, but the basic settings and functions will remain the same
- You can just buy an already finished Ekoore Python S device, which has three systems installed at once - Ubuntu, Windows and Android. They work separately from each other
Installing Windows
There are a lot of emulators among the software, and everyone has certain differences. To deliver the system, first of all, you need to remove the existing OS.
To install, you will need:
- Mouse
- Keyboard
- External DVD-drive
- USB hub
- USB-Ethernet adapter, in case, suddenly, Windows will not see the Wi-Fi adapter that is available on the smartphone
Installation should be made from a conventional disk or USB flash drive. You can take any available disk or downloaded virtual from the Internet. As a bootloader, a flash drive can also perform.
The installation itself is not so complicated:
- Copy all information from tablet to computer
- In the SETUP gadget, select the download from the desired location. Features of the operation depend on the device model
- A replacement for android by installing Windows
- After the end of the procedure, download and install the drivers for each device
The installation is now complete.
Modern smartphones running on Android OS, are very powerful in the installation of new applications. It is also possible to install on the phone or android tablet OS Windows (7, XP, 98). However, after such an operation, the system may be slightly "pendant". Remember: not all Android devices will cope with the task.
What we need
2. Personal Computer or a laptop with internet access.
3. The distribution of the operating system Windows.
Instructions
1. To begin with, you should prepare and download the necessary files from the Internet. Download distrowindows operating system. With this item there should be no problems, because on many trekkers and web resources this system is provided absolutely free of charge.
2. Then you need the following files: bios.bin; sdl.conf; vgabios.bin; vgabios-cirrus.bin. You can find them on the Internet individually or download in the entire archive. Many trekkers give out archive, where all the necessary files are contained: just enter "download sdl.zip" in the search service.
3. We will also need a file sdlapp.apk., which is a program developed by the craftsmen to install on devices that support the Android system, the Windows operating system. The program can be found without problems on the Internet, it weighs only 1.34 MB.
4. All the files must be transferred to the phone. First, unpack the SDL folder from the sdl.zip archive to the phone's memory card (or create a folder and copy the necessary files there). The program sdlapp.apk is installed directly on the phone / tablet. From the Windows operating system image, take the c.img file and copy it to the SDL folder.
5. Now it's enough to start the program sdlapp.apk, which will perform all the necessary steps to install the Windows OS.
It is worth paying attention to
Unprecedented operation of the Windows operating system can boast of devices on which there is a processor that supports the architecture і386. As a rule, this is processorsfrom the following developers: VIA, AMD, IDT, Transmeta.
Sometimes users of modern gadgets want to change the OS of their device, but not all of this is obtained. Today we will try to figure out how to install Windows on a tablet that previously worked on another OS. This need may arise for several reasons: you prefer to work only with this system in connection with specific software or are so accustomed to it that you do not plan to switch to Android and other OSes.
Important points to look out for
First of all, find out whether it is possible to install Windows on your gadget model, whether it will work with the new OS. The following conditions must be met:
- The processor of the device is AMD, Transmeta, IDT, VIA.
- There is support for the i386 architecture.
- To install, you can use a bootable flash drive.
- The device is equipped with USB-input. You need to connect the keyboard and mouse, so one input is not enough - you need a USB hub.
For the new system to work, special drivers are required, which can be downloaded from an official source via a computer or laptop.
Installation methods:
- emulator;
- installation on top of the operating system;
- full-fledged operating system on the tablet (full replacement of the current operating system).
Installing Windows with emulators
Installing the emulator does not imply making changes to the main operating system. With it, you just run any version, for example, Windows 7 instead of Android or even Windows 10. The main task of the emulator is the launch of programs and simple games. The most popular emulators:
- QEMU;
- BOCHS;
It should be noted that in order to install Android on a tablet with Windows, you can also use the emulator, and run your favorite games and applications.
Installation process:
- Download the installer.
- Run the installation process and wait for it to complete.
- Select the image of the system that you want to emulate.
- The OS should appear on the display of the tablet after all the actions have been correctly executed.
Using the emulator does not make it possible to install a full-fledged Windows on the tablet device. For this reason, this method has several drawbacks:
- No emulator provides access to the Internet.
- Most programs are characterized by problems with speed and stability. It is likely that only elementary tasks will be available to you.
- There may be problems with hardware compatibility. This concerns faults related to the operation of the display, sound, etc.
- To be able to use the OS, it is recommended that you install the simplest version of Windows on your tablet. It's about the first platforms (Millenium, 98), but software will be appropriate. Few emulators are characterized by the support of modern versions - Windows 8 and others.
Installing Windows over the operating system
Can I install Windows on a tablet with Android or another OS in such a way as to use both the new and the old system on the device at the same time? On sale there are models of tablets that support the operation of two operating systems, and, as a rule, they work with the Intel processor. To switch between platforms, special buttons are used or the selection is made while the gadget is turned on.
If the device was not originally designed to work with two operating systems, then it's almost impossible to put it on top of another platform on top of another platform. The assortment of tablets with dual OS is not too big. Similar models are available from ASUS and other manufacturers. A more diverse range can be found among the products of Chinese firms.
Full Windows installation
Not every Android tablet is suitable for installing another OS, much less it can always be done by yourself. The easiest way to permanently change the platform on a gadget that works with an ARM or i386 architecture processor, with each type of processor being able to interact with a specific version of Windows. For example, the following tablet models accurately support the full installation of a computer OS:
- Archos 9;
- Iconia Tab W500;
- 3Q Qoo;
- Odeon TPC-10;
- ViewSonic ViewPAD.
It is worth to clarify that if with Android you can still "tinker" and experiment with various methods change the OS, then with Apple-devices do this will not succeed - iOS will not allow the installation of another platform. A relatively easy installation is subject to versions 7 and 8, but to correctly install Windows 10 on your tablet can be quite difficult, because this version appeared recently, and 7-ka and 8-ka differ simplicity and take up a little space in the memory.
Installation process:
- Connect to the device mouse, keyboard and connect the boot drive.
- Turn off the machine and turn it on again, while pressing F2 on the keyboard during the boot process.
- A window with a system functioning according to the BIOS type appears on the display. Choose the USB flash drive with which you are going to install Windows.
- Specify the "Full installation" item in the root folder and select the partition where the OS is installed.
- Determine the appropriate language, confirm your agreement with the license agreement.
- When a new window appears, where you need to understand the disks, delete the disc immediately or transfer all important data from the memory card and internal drive first.
- Create new disk in the system and format it.
- As soon as the installation is completed, immediately remove the USB flash drive from the socket, otherwise the operation will start again.
In most cases, the touch screen starts functioning immediately after the installation is complete. However, do not panic if it does not work - you can control Windows using only one keyboard. Using the keys, open the Center updates for Windows in the control panel and update the entire system.
Just in case, activate the "System Restore" feature in the settings so that you can return the system to its original state at any time.
Conclusion
The methods described above provide an opportunity to put an operating windows system. There must be a good reason for doing this, otherwise there simply is no point in wasting time on all the actions, since, as you have already seen, it will not be possible to quickly and without much effort replace the platform (except for the method with the emulator). Nevertheless, to make this realistic even on its own, without referring to specialists.
