Hi everyone,
since win10 arm32 is slow on surface rt from what i saw on the forums.
is there a hope for win10x to be installed in surface rt once it is released in the spring?
is this idea is already dead or there is a hope ?
Nope - never going to happen.
Microsoft stopped building ARM32 Windows a long time ago. There is no reason why they would start building for ARM32 again.

I can't post to the Windows 8 or Surface forum, but I updated the Feburary (2/12) Microsoft updates to my Surface RT and the jailbreak no longer works, it looks like they "fixed" it. Blue screens on each attmept to run

Come on, there's already plenty of posts already with the amount of people asking for the same thing. Just be patient.
If you really really really must have the jailbreak, find a recovery image to downgrade from RT 8.1 to RT 8.0. Of course this does not apply to owners of the Surface RT 2nd generation.
Jailbreak only in Windows 8 RT , not Windows 8.1 RT

Windows RT is officially died.
Windows RT is officially died.
Has it really died or will Windows 10 breathed a bit of life back to it?
Considering all the announcements today ands so far regarding Win 10 and MS position on open source framework is there now some hope for the RT tablets? Might windows release information that could help to open development on the Surface RT tablets? What does the community think?

Hey, I recently got a Vivotab Rt TF600TL, which runs windows rt. And I hate windows, but since it was a present, I don't really wanna sell it. I researched about installed android into it and couldn't find one, there are some for other vivotabs that are already androids. So is there a way to install android, on a Vivotab Rt specifically for TF600TL. Thanks
Depends on if there's a recognized signature for the bootloader. But the short answer is "almost certainly not possible"
Dam that's a pitty, oh well. I guess I'll just use Windows.
I have been trying to find out any definitive info on what I can and cant do with my surface. Im hoping that I can install something other than Wins 8 RT. It has not looked hopeful in the past, I was given the device as a promo training gift 3 years ago. Im tired of the neutered and damn near useless ness of this tablet. Im looking to install ubuntu or an android flavor of some sort.
As far as I know from scouring the web. Nothing as far as dual booting with an alternate OS is viable at this point. Everything has come to a halt. Surface and the RT OS is basically the Apple Powerbook of the x86 side of the world now.
In my opinion Windows RT 8.0 with the jailbreak is about as good as it's going to get (though there might finally be the possibility of an 8.1 jailbreak). I don't know if you've tried the jailbreak (not sure if you have an original Surface RT or the Surface 2) but for me it filled in most of what I was missing on RT, and has kept the device useful.
It is unfortunate that installing a non-Microsoft OS isn't possible.

Would be great to install linux in this tablet
I found a link with this method. Does anyone else know if this is actually doable or works? And could this apply to a windows RT tablet like the 2520?

There are times I would like to elements or apps from andoid on my windows tablet and am also looking for a dual boot solution.

Unfortuanately your answer is in the article you mentioned:
Although the process of installing Android on your Windows tablet – and by this I’m specifically referring to an Intel x86 device here rather than one equipped with an ARM processor (such as the Microsoft Surface RT) – will differ from device to device, the general approach is the same.

It is talking about Windows 8 tablets, i.e. x86 devices. RT devices unfortunately have a locked bootloader, and so far no one has found a way around that, nor have OEMs released anything to unlock them, so RT devices are pretty much stuck. I hate the fact that Microsoft made that a requirement for RT devices.
I wasted my money on a Surface RT. If Microsoft had updated the platform to Windows 10 with universal apps they would have restored my faith in their hardware. Never again. Now for AMD to release a proper tablet SOC that I can actually play games on.
