A lot of people have asked me in the past, how can I use my Samsung Series 7 Slate to run the latest Windows 8 (originally Dev Preview when I first released this) and actually I have been seeing it more often that people can't figure out how to get it on their Slate...
With that being said, I recommend you visit my updated post on my Blog that reflects Windows 8 RC here install & my blog contains other Windows 8 (and WP7) related content if you're bored. Otherwise to save you time, below is the steps/full blog post and a video created (This is my video from my YouTube Channel "TechMeShow", I permit the video being here) regarding making the USB Stick, which is old news but still people continue to ask and really get hundreds of views due to Google Searches.

HOWTO Install Windows 8 Release Preview on MOST Tablet/Slate's
1). Download the edition of Windows 8 you want.
Tip: Download ISO from above.
2). Grab the Microsoft USB Disc Creator ('Should' use a USB Stick + Available USB Slot)
Tip Link: Microsoft USB Disc Creator Download Page. Video below.
3). After you use the Disc Creator, pop in the USB Stick to your computer and DO NOT RUN INSTALL ON WINDOWS 7 (We want it on a Tablet/Slate, remember?).
4). Now, reboot the tablet/slate, hit the Home Screen button only 1 time (give it a moment, don't rush, it'll happen) and select the USB Stick
Tip: To navigate up and down, select the left (or varies on device) Up/Down Volume Control and once selected, press the "Screen Lock".
5). Product Key: TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF
6). Follow the steps for installation and your set!

If you already knew all of this, terrific. However, again and not to brag, when I get at least 200 daily visits because people can't figure out how to install Windows 8 <edition here> on a Tablet/Slate (yes pretty easy), I thought why not post it here because obviously not enough people are getting it.
Great tutorial
I Will try it now!!
This is the key for 32 bits Windows 8: DNJXJ-7XBW8-2378T-X22TX-BKG7J
Terrific, let me know how it goes... Also made a tutorial on how to take your Recovery DVD to USB, pretty basic but I was asked.
Thanks,
Lance

Hi,
What type of halt/error/hang and where do you get it and on what type of device?
Thanks,
Lance

To be 100% honest, I am not sure about the setup part but for the USB Disc, should be the same and just make sure you boot from USB.

Just seems to be a strange hang that (after checking various forums) seems to happen mainly on Asus laptops,
apparently concerning the NVIDIA graphics driver which needs to be updated. For the moment they've only got
a W8 driver for the Release Preview build which doesn't seem to solve the issue.
Very weird, have you tried to load the driver during setup?

I don't know wether this is a noobish question ..but can we install windows 8 on an android device ? Like on an OneX to be particular ...hmm ..ok sorry got it ...we need the right drivers which will be pretty damn hard to find .. thanks anyways

Actually, a good chance windows can just use some generic drivers. Once in Windows, I am sure a windows update could find something, windows 8 is badass at finding stuff.

There is no Usb port in moto Xoom.
Does it have a MicroSD?

I'm interested to get it working on my Xoom, too. Yes it has an microSD slot. There are also OTG cables that you can mount USB sticks.

Guys, the Windows 8 architecture for the images (and RTM that is out now) is for x86 processors only at this time. The Android devices are ARM based. Won't work.
Windows RT is going to support the ARM architecture, but will be a while (maybe never) before the ability to load it on Android hardware will happen.
Sorry if this has been mentioned but, you do realise you can change the title of the thread your self right? go to edit > advanced
Sent from my Samsung N130 Netbook powered by Android-x86
If Arm is currently what the devices are using, you'll need to obtain the current MSDN/RTM edition... Otherwise, if you have USB/MicroSD capabilities, you can install Windows to it and normally windows will find generic drivers but if you can get a windows display, that in itself is good news.

figured I'd bump this thread as I have a slate 7 and I'm trying to get the thing to recognize my usb disk drive. Currently I'm having no luck.
I've tried plugging the usb drive directly into the slate as well as into a powered usb hub and nothing seems to make the device see the usb drive.
The hub is good because the usb keyboard I'm using allows me to navigate the bios with the keys and what not but when I go to the boot menu, where it says usb cd drive it just says ":None" and only lists the internal hdd.
this has worked just fine with several other types of tablets but this samsung is the first to simply not recognize the drive at all. Bios settings are all factory default BTW.
Any ideas?

First I recommend you remove the stick from any device and only plugged straight in the stick.
Also, did you create the USB Stick with the Microsoft USB Stick Creator? If not, try it and also let me know what you used previously.
I have recently built myself a new gaming computer and I installed Windows 8.1 on it. Today, I wanted to dual boot Ubuntu over Windows. So, the regular, downloaded Ubuntu, got a USB and made it bootable with the "universal usb installer" which i downloaded from some site pendrivelinux. I disabled UEFI Secure boot and fast-boot but it still won't show the boot menu to choose the OS. Anyone help here?
Specs:
Intel Core i7-4770k not overclocked
8 GB DDR3 CORSAIR VENGEANCE 2x4GB 1600MHZ
SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC
MSi Z87-GD65 GAMING MOTHERBOARD
CORSAIR AX860W POWER SUPPLY
I think it should run all OS really smooth, but I really don't know how to fix this.

Go to UEFI settings once again... find UEFI Boot options there... you'll see Windows Boot Loader and Linux Boot Loader.... change the order to put Linux Boot Loader on the top. It should solve the issue.

Hi guys.
I have a Humax 2din car multimedia that seems it has linux os on it. there is only one usb port for this device, no sd card. it's locked and I want to unlock it to access terminal to do some stuff on it. I can attach keyboard and mouse to device via usb port and only Windows+R works! it rotates screen by 90 degree. no more action.
Why do I think it's based on Linux os?
because the Navigation software is polnav6 and when I wanted to upgrade it, upgrade files are like linux files. some .sh files and some other folders.
So, any idea about how I can unlock the device will be appreciated.
I'm trying to install Bliss os in an old PC with a nvidia sata but it doesnt detect my hard drives(2 sata HDD), it works very well in an USB drive in live mode. I installed it in a notebook, make a copy with dd in manjaro and copy it in the nvidia sata pc but it stuck in "Detecting Android x86...". So my conclusion is that the module "SATA_NV" is not included in the original kernel, there is a kernel that include it?
Hi Folks,
i am new to this Forum and i did not find the right Thread. I installed successfully Windows 10 ARM on my 4 Lumia 640 XL until to the issue that the installation as it self could not complete because the touchscreen as it self wouldn't be recognized by windows.
Can somebody help me there?
I can go back by the windows phone repair tool to Windows Mobilr 8.1. Also i've tried different approaches with the latest or a specific version of Windows 10 ARM. All of those bring me to the same stage, that i stuck on the language selection of a fresh installed Windows 10 ARM. I also tried to connect a USB or Bluetooth Keyboard or Mouse with no success (one with cable and one without) via an USB to Micro USB adapter that i usally use with my raspberry pi zero. And yes, i downloaded the drivers for the Phones and copied them on to the path of the driver section like in this tutorial:

or here
does somebody have any idea how to solve that?
Thank you in advance!
Anyone? Or is this maybe the wrong category?
