Windows 10: I want to put Windows OS On this Andriod RCA Tablet Safely, Help?

Yeah I don't know much about OS installing on Tablet Hardware, but If anyone could help implementing a windows OS safely, and Not do any of that installs that are Linux based, because I'm trying to work with small Exe files, and I would like to actually have a use for this small thing for once.
Good news is this actually has a USB 2.0 port, so booting it from a thumb drive is actually possible. Can't say I know much more than that, I had Google searched before, and one article noted a big drop in performance from their device and their touch screen being completely disabled, so I figured I'd ask here, so I don't care if I replace this OS with windows 8.1, so long as I can give it a windows based OS without a drop in performance speed I'd be grateful, thanks.

Can Windows 10 be installed on RCA andriod lollipop?

Original title: windows 10 on andriod lollipop

I'm having trouble installing windows10 on my tablet. I have tried everything, what can i do to get it on my RCA andriod lollipop?

 

A Scanner USB Camera/Wi-Fi, and a RCA Tablet are on my network and in my Devices, Unknown to me. How to Find them, Delete ?

Thank You. I am only using ethernet, no Wi-Fi on my Computer.And my Modem is Secured. I whitelisted the MAC address on the RCA Tablet, and I just Checked, now it shows 2 Devices, different MAC's. And then all of a sudden, they both dissappeared... Weird...


Just to be clear,Ward



You only want to whitelist YOUR TRUSTED devices on your network.

If the mystery "rca tablet" doesn't belong to you, then DO NOT put it's mac address on the whitelist.

99.9% of all "tablets" would use Wi-Fi, so if your modem/router is broadcasting a wireless signal that you don't need or use, consider turning that(wireless) OFF.

 

Many devices that run Android don't have CPUs that are supported by Windows but some might. But we don't know what that tablet has in the way of hardware in it. You mentioned Windows 8.1 so maybe someone over at Windows 8 Forums can help.

 

Hi there, SotoPrior. Welcome to TenForums.

Please post what the device is and as much as you know about the CPU.

 

As others have said, more info is needed about the tablet itself. However, I personally doubt this Android tablet can run Windows since the Android OS is specifically made for ARM cpus while Windows is specifically directed at x86 cpus. Completely different architecture. The OSes are not interchangeable in that regard.

 

99% chance that RCA Android tablet will not be able to run Windows at all. First thing is you would have to be able to boot into some kind of BIOS or UEFI in order to boot from a Windows USB flash drive and that tablet will likely boot into the Android boot loader/recovery firmware which will be impossible to load a Windows USB flash drive from.

For less than $200, I bought a Nextbook Flexx Windows tablet from WalMart and it is great for the price, IMHO.

 

Whelp according to the Boot up, it did mention something about a Viking Pro, at the start.

Model Number is RCT6303W87DK

Build Number is RCT6303W87DK-ANDROID 5.0-V63-V1.12.20-B

I'm looking at the system Information about the tablet, so bear with me.

Actually I just found a site which should show the full specs from Googling the Build Number:

Aside from that, I really don't care if it is Windows 98 that actually works, I'm just trying to utilize what I have.

 

Oh I appreciate the suggestion, I was just throwing out cards to see whatever would work for android better that Microsoft had to offer, based on some article I read before posting here. Personally I don't care what is compatible with it, so long as I can actually get a Windows OS onto it. I appreciate the thought, but I'm truly not hard on to anything so far. Thanks.

 

Hey thanks for the Suggestion. Really I am actually going to invest in a laptop later today, I'm trying to actually put some windows based OS because originally, I bought this little tablet here for 80$ refurbished to get some work done on it, but aside from the little free Microsoft Office app that they supported on the Google play store, I'll be frank, I haven't had much use for the thing, being it just collecting dust, and I was wishing to make something off it than a little kid's play thing (if you get what I mean,) and Actually make some use out of it. By all means I appreciate the suggestion for a different tablet, but the thing is, (at least as of this post) my finances are more projected in a different area right now, and either way, I unfortunately can't poof away the device and magically have the windows one. Don't get me wrong, it is just not in my best interests right now is all that I'm trying to say. I just want to say thank you for taking the time either way to read my qualms and reply thank you.

 

Thanks for the info. Windows RT may run on it. I'll have to do more research on it, though. I'll be back....

 

I found this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...windows-rt-faq

Unfortunately even if it did run on it, all Windows RT OSs came preinstalled. No way to buy it outright that I can see.

As others have mentioned the best advice is to try and sell it, then use the money towards a Windows device.

 

Looks like it has GPS, so you could use it for navigation. You can also put Nook and Kindle on it and use it as an E-reader.

 

>>ARMv7 Processor rev 3<< Will not run the x86 version of Windows. It's "maybe" Windows RT or Windows 10 IoT. As mentioned Windows RT is next to impossible to get your hands on. The sites you'd have to go to, to get It, are risky at best. You also need a specific version for your specific hardware. Windows 10 IoT is also written for very specific hardware and likely won't install on your tablet. You likely wouldn't want that version of Windows 10 anyway. It's very very limited in what you can do with it. My Raspberry Pi's have a very similar CPU and run Raspbian (based on Debian). You may be able to run Linux on it? If you hunt around.

 

This is correct. ARM processors on machines like this need software specifically ported for them.
I have 3 Pine64+'s and all run android 5.1.1
