Hi,
I plugged my "Panasonic NV-GS320" digital Video camera to my Lenovo ideapad. The device Manager has Problems to find the correct Driver. So I have a yellow sign next to "Video Edit".
Under Windows XP, Vista and 7 I never have Problems with my Video camera. I also never needed to download any Driver from Panasonic. So I hoped Windows 8 RT will also have no Problems with this Kind of Standard Video Edit Driver. But it has.
Do you have any ideas which Driver I can manually install?
Thanks!

There is no windows 8 RT . There is a windows RT and a windows 8 but the 2 are seperate products.
Which lenovo ideapad is this? Only 1 of the several ideapad models is windows RT.
If it is windows RT, you cannot manually install drivers not that it matters as there isnt any video editing software you could use.
If it is windows 8, check the panasonic site to see if they have issued a windows 8 driver. If they havent, your SOoL
Actually, you can almost certainly use a Win7 or Vista driver on Win8 if you need to; they are all NT 6.x, which (pretty much always) means a backward-compatible kernel ABI.
As for Windows RT, though... no such luck. It is actually entirely possible to install drivers on WRT - if they are Microsoft-signed, it's even possible on non-"jailbroken" devices - but there pretty much aren't any drivers available aside from the ones Microsoft ships with the OS. I don't really see why not, but that's the way it is. 6677 does have a point about the lack of video editing software, though; I'm sure there are some apps in the store, but nothing comparable to desktop software.

Tell that to the guys who are using pre-revision D PL2303HX chips. The driver doesnt work. Trust me, I tried.

today I talked about the RT OS with ffriends.Suddenly one said that win8 os pad can run on Windows RT and a RT OS PAD can run on win8 x86！！he is joking ！！Besides，he said he did that successfully for many times。。。。。

No it cannot. Your friend clearly lacks the common knowledge that RT is for ARM and windows 8 is for x86. Round pegs do not fit square holes.
I can't really understand your English; did you mean "app" where you wrote "pad"? The fact that Win8 and WRT share apps is well known; there are a few apps which are only for one platform or the other but almost all the apps are available for both. Native code apps need to be recompiled for the other platform, but managed (.NET) and HTML5 apps will run un-modified. This is not news.
If you mean the ability to run some x86 desktop apps unmodified on Windows RT, that's due to mamaich's emulation layer, combined with clrokr's "jailbreak" exploit (and usually netham45's scripts to automate the process). Relatively few apps run correctly through that emulation layer, though, and the new Windows Store apps are not supported. There is no support that I'm aware of for running ARM-compiled Windows apps on x86, although ARM emulators certainly do exist and if you could boot Windows RT on one of them, that would allow you to run the apps (somewhat indirectly).
If you mean actually installing Win8 (or any other x86 OS) on Windows RT, that's technically possible through the use of emulators (not sure DOSbox supports enough CPU features for Win8, but Bochs probably does) but the performance is abysmal.

You cannot install Windows 8 x86 directly onto Windows RT hardware. It doesn't work.
You probably saw someone RDPing to an x86 desktop.

Thank you! I am thinking about the sideloadling the appx,hope for some help
OK, I'm still not sure what you're talking about - just a couple posts up, you said you weren't talking about apps, and now you're talking about .APPX files - but as was mentioned above, most APPX files will be architecture independent (managed code or HTML5); only the native code ones will need different .APPX files for Win8 and RT.
Anybody know if it'd be possible to install Windows 8 on an Intel-based smartphone such as Droid Razr i? The device should theoretically be compatible with Windows 8 as it's just using a pretty standard Intel Atom x86 CPU. The 32-bit version of Windows 8 should work. Anybody tried this before or know how I could approach this?
This should be revisited. The Asus Zenfone 2 came out and specs-wise, it is more powerful than many tablets out there.

Agreed! However, back when I asked this question, some people said it was not possible due to lack of driver support and possibly some issue with the bootloader. But when has that ever stopped XDA? This would be a really cool project and would really be awesome if you could install Windows 10 and use the Continuum feature. Unlike Windows 10 Mobile, this version of continuum would still allow x86 desktop apps to be run on the phone.
"This would be a really cool project and would really be awesome if you could install Windows 10 and use the Continuum feature. Unlike Windows 10 Mobile, this version of continuum would still allow x86 desktop apps to be run on the phone."
I completely agree with you. Chances are MS won't let Asus make this happen but Windows 10 Pro in your pocket and it can send/receive calls+text messages? What's next?...Snapchat?? - one can dream.

It doesn't matter if Microsoft allows it or not. I'm sure people will be able to get an unlocked bootloader for this phone or make one if Asus doesn't provide it. From there, I'd imagine it'd be something along thing lines of pre-installing Windows 10 onto a microSD card and then boot from it on the phone. The hard part would be making it boot and finding the necessary drivers. I wish I'd know more about where to start but my development skills are more centered around app development, not necessarily OS and hardware.

Please don't make me wants this more than I already do...
I just wondered if you could install Windows 8.1 on a tablet running Windows 8.1 RT?
No.
Are you sure? I have seen people how has done it

You havent. Windows 8.1 is for x86 processors. Windows RT 8.1 is for ARM. 2 are completely incompatible.
Yeah, even if you had a jailbreak for 8.1, it's (blatantly obviously, to anybody who knows the first thing about CPU instructions sets) not possible. The closest you could come would be installing Win8.1 in an x86 emulator. This is technically possible - for example, you can run Linux in an x86 emulator (built using JavaScript, of all things); http://bellard.org/jslinux - but it's slow as hell and the tablets don't really have enough resources (RAM, etc.) to make it practical even if the speed was great enough to be useful. Oh, and there isn't any jailbreak for 8.1 released yet so far as I know anyhow.
Hi all
I heard about windows rt and windows 8 on tablets and phones.
My goal is to find a way (if there's one) to enjoy windows app, games (oldest ones) and compatibility (on my tab s if available).
Windows 8 cannot be on arm so I forgot him.
After I heard about windows rt. The problems are : 1 you can only have the os when you have the machine sold with 2: you can only install apps from the store so the compatibility is broken.
Finally I heard about windows ce who can be on arm if you buy the licence. I searched but I doesn't found any 'windows store' or incompatibility
with .exe. (most people are using on x86 devices )
Thanks for answers and if windows ce cannot be used like a native windows I would be happy to know why (Im pretty sure It can't but i hope)
Ilphrin
Do you have any idea how limited Windows CE is? It cannot run ANYTHING at all.
you can also install win 95 or xp
if only we could have Vista
anyway this stuff almost always requires root and kernel tweaks etc.. also the OS you want to run has to have been made to run on our architecture at some point or you have to run it inside a VM.
i have done a bunch with Linux distros over the years and those are much easier than Windows and still it has never developed to be enjoyable to use.
best option is to find an app that does what you liked in Windows since you should find most things these days.
I know it's not a specific M8 question but, does anyone think there'll be "issues" with windows 10 and adb/fastboot commands when using custom recovery/ROMs ?
Based on Windows 10 preview experience, should not have issues.

ive been using Windows 10 as my main driver now on my system for a couple of months now, currently on build 10130 fast ring, and having no issues what so ever with anything, all of my drivers etc are working without problems, HTC sync manager for the drivers only installed fine.
I did have to modify my printer driver and the Intel Rapid storage app for my RAID config to get them to install, but that's the only 2 apps ive had problems with, some older games don't work either.
on a different note, Windows 10 totally rocks with Start10 Start menu, still hate the new start menu live tiles, but anyone looking to purchase it, just buy a cheap Windows 7 genuine license key off ebay for £29 GBP, download windows 7 ISO from Microsoft site and get an upgrade to Windows 10 for free, why pay £300 for a new OS when you can have it for £29.
