I managed to install Windows 10 on my Windows RT, following this tutorial, and it looks good.
Now I'm trying to install Android X86 on it. I was thinking it gonna be easier from windows 10.
I think the strategy used in the tutorial was to create a Recovery Drive so that Windows allows usb detection. I was wondering if we could do the same thing to install another OS like Android.
At the moment, when I try to boot on my usb bootable Android, it doesn't boot.
Maybe the secure boot is again looked, I have again the lock icon ...

I dont know but open your control panel, and check in your devices or troubleshooter what that triangle error is
the surface rt is based on arm32 (aka armhf) not x86 you can try compiling an iso the resources are here https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis

Can we get some screens please? also is it possible to change windows developer preview to say windows 8?
I just tried it and the old login screen doesn't show any users. I have nothing to click to get in. I tried getting into the registry from Windows 7 Partition but I can't open it, says its not a valid win32 application. Running out of ideas how to fix. I tried deleting precache folder and it ran the auto fixer but that didn't do anything. Any one have any ideas?
Edit- Managed to open up windows 7 registry and hive loaded the windows 8 registry. Manually edited the registry key and I am back in business. If any one ran into the same issue.
This is great! I honestly can't stand Windows 8. I will stick with 7 Ultimate for a while, but I will definitely be doing this when I upgrade
Win8 BTD - (B)oot(T)o(D)esktop is a small tool which helps you to boot directly into classic desktop. ("Bypass" ModernUI Homescreen at startup)
Hello my name is Raffi and this is the first the first app I've posted at xda dev. So please be patient with me if I did something wrong. The program is written in C# and uses the .NET Framework 4.5. The application consists only of one .exe-file which does not add any files to the filesystem. So you can call it a portable app.
How to use it?
Start the Win8BTD.exe as administrator. Click on the desktop or on the modernui image to choose which "screen" you like to see after a boot.
Latest version
Win8 BTD 1.0.0.0
Old versions
n/a
Updates
The tool includes a minimal update check. So it tells you if it's time to look for a new version.
Tested on
Windows 8 Pro x64
If you own another version of Win8 and tested the tool with success on your system, let me know it.

How does it work?
Technical information
Greets,
Raffi
Can you please post it in a .reg or .bat format?
I think most of us would like to know what a program is doing before we run it.
So this is how it works
Article on my blog (english by google translator)
Article on my blog (german, original article)
In a nutshell
Change "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" key-value-pair in registry from explorer.exe to explorer.exe /select,explorer.exe
@victorator:
Is this ok for you or do you need still more information? Otherwise you could also decompile my tool, because I havn't used any kind of obfuscator.
It works very well and much easier...thanks..:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Cool, thanks for providing the app and the info (and yeah, people usually like to check these things; my usual approach is to just include the source but you can do whatever you want).
Does anyone know how to enable or could provide some means of installing the Start Menu from Windows RT 8.1 Update 3 on Windows 8.1 Pro Update 2?

The idea is to keep live tiles as they appear on the Start Screen.

They're targeted at completely different hardware, so unfortunately no

That are targeted to different architectures is obvious.
I say in order to review the update KB3033055 and other related to Update 3 and extract the resource in question and make it compatible with Windows 8.1 PC.
Or even make the KB3033055 and other related update compatible with the Windows 8.1 PC.

I guess it's possible. I doubt it uses anything but .NET. The main issue is getting it working with x86 services since it's most definitely configured only for ARM32 services
I managed to get up to the "disable secure boot" section of the tutorial, but when I restarted it, I was unable to confirm whether or not secure boot was actually disabled or not, as my Surface RT has kinda... well, derped out.

I've already attempted to boot from a recovery image I downloaded from Microsoft multiple times, but it refuses to boot from USB even when I hold down the volume-down button before and during the boot process. It just goes back to the same screen complaining about a missing/corrupted Winload.efi.
EDIT: I just noticed that there's a similar thread. From the looks of it, I might need to test with some other USB drives.
EDIT 2: Yup. Just needed a different flash drive. I'm back on the road to Win10 RT!

An old build of Windows Core OS "Polaris" has been leaked to the Network
Back in 2018, it became known that Microsoft was creating a new modern version of the Windows 10 operating system for PCs, codenamed Polaris. The operating system was to be called Windows Core OS and include a foldable mobile version of Andromeda.

}
It was rumored that the new Windows Core OS would fix most of the legacy code and compatibility issues that Windows 10 has. Microsoft later canceled Polaris and Andromeda and switched to Windows 10X, and now an early build of Windows Core has been leaked online.
This version is dated 2018 and has no GUI. Since it is a raw version and may contain various problems, experts do not recommend trying to install it on your primary computer. This is an RS3 RTM assembly compatible with the ARM32 architecture. This means that the operating system can be installed, for example, on an outdated Surface RT.
P.s I know a lot of talented guys here, this may turn out to be to give a second wind to the surface of RT, I apologize for the text, I use a translator from Google

It would be pointless to install this, it would just dump you at a black screen because there is no shell and a lot of other stuff Is missing. The screenshot commonly posted with news of this release is not what this build is.
It's good this build is preserved but its not going to modernize RT's.
