[Q] Windows 8??? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I was wondering if it would be possible to install windows 8 on the kindle fire?(1st Gen)
I know you can on other tablets, but you need a USB with windows 8 on it and you boot into windows 8, but could you possibly put windows on your kindle and go into twrp and flash it?
I'm very experienced with this stuff, I've flashed over 12 ROMS and none of them suite me so I was hoping this could be possible and if it is, if someone successfully does this on a kindle fire 1st Gen then would you please make a txt or video tut.
Sincerely,
VwS vNexus

I don't even know if the 8 gigs of the entire device can even hold windows 8. Much less run it with the 512 ram.

Short answer is, no. Windows RT is Microsoft's ARM OS, and isn't available to anyone to the general public. Even if you could get your hands on it, my understanding is that it requires 16 GB of space to install. That kills any hope of getting it on a first gen Fire, and which is why the Surface tablets come in 32 and 64 GB options.

Could it be possible to install/run windows 7 on the HTC Desire Z?
No, never - thank God. Blasphemey!

that only possible because that phone is running an intel atom processor. The desire z/g2 is running an ARMv7 processor which contains a completely different set of instructions.... Long story short it is possible to put linux on the phone but it is impossible to put windows7. On the other hand, microsoft mentioned that the next generation of windows will have ARM compatibility so while windows 7 will not work, windows 8(?) might be possible whenever it comes out.
If it really matters, you can always use an RDP app and link to a computer running win7 lol

[Q] Windows 8 rom on KFire?

Pretty much what the title says, my brother recently got a windows phone and I was just wondering if it would be possible to port over a windows ROM for talblts, specifically the kindle fire?
Don't think so for now because I'm guessing that the Kindle is basically wired for Android. If you want the Kindle to be like a windows phone, root it, install ICS and then search for launcher 7 in the app store.

I guess it might be possible with the ARM version.

He is talking about Windows phone not Windows 8/RT
@OT
Your Best bet will be what notdeadyet01 said but I will go even further and get all the apps from the 7+ Android project here http://sevenplusandroid.org/
Edit: lets pretend as the above text does not exist
@OT
The main problems is drivers, the fact that windows RT is closed source, and will only be available to manufactures and it is unknown if the Secure Boot is build in the OS or just an obligation that is placed on manufactures
no offense to anyone but in my opinion windows just sucks. its boring, my mom has one, its smooth as F*ck but boring

I heard that ARM wasn't going to exist, plus it isn't open source because it's windows so therein lies another challenge. I would have to agree with notreadyyet and say go with ICS/GB and Launcher 7. If you want a Windows 8 tab you're going to have to buy one. But since android can just as easily mimic win7/8 (and have a better app selection) you'll probably be better off with android anyway.

windows 8 for arm will be called windows rt so yes it does exist, but only comes pre installed
I agree android is better, I was just thinking, like the iPhone where you can duakbit android and iOS, I just figured if you could it would just add to the possibilities of open source android.

[Q] Install Fire OS into Android tablet?

Hi everyone!
I searched and searched for a couple of days but can't find an answer - I've owned an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8 for a few months now and loved it, I've also owned several Fire Phones (to resell) and dang it, I've grown accustom to the OS!
Just got a shiny new Huawei MediaPad M3 and just out of curiosity, is there a way to install Fire OS into the tablet? I imagine there'll be barriers (hardware/software compatibility) similar to installing OSX on a Windows machine without using BootCamp, but hey - maybe one of you super smarts figured it out.
Thumbs up to anyone with useful info/answers. :good::good::good:
