Actually you are all incorrect, check out the Microsoft Surface Pro, comes with Windows 8. There is a cheaper version called the Surface RT, but it come with a modified version called Windows 8 RT, just some features not available, but that's something you'll have to consider.

and it run on android tablet?

You cannot run windows on an android tablet because the cpu will be arm architecture. This architecture is compatible with w8 rt and android but any other windows requires x86. The surface pro uses an x86 cpu hence it can run windows 8. There are plenty of other tablets that run the full version of w8 but android, like rt, can only use arm.

You would think if someone going to said everyone they are all incorrect would at least read the title of the thread.

You could install windows on an android device that has an intel or amd processor however normally most android devices have arm based processors that does not support windows. You could install windows 8 RT on an arm based device but I doubt if you could find a retail version of windows 8 RT and besides windows 8 RT is not exactly same as windows functionality wise and you can not run windows applications on it so in other words its as good as being an android OS. Your best bet is to find a tablet with an intel processor. The least it will cost you is around $250. That way you can run both windows and android on your device.

is this possible? no, im not looking for some sort of streaming app, which is all google turned up when i searched it. i would like to know if i could put a functional version of windows on the tablet and have it boot into that just like a computer. thanks for your time


To all of you fellow computer engineers out there, YES IT IS POSSIBLE to get windows me/nt/xp working on an android tablet, look for a program called limbo-pc, you need an iso of your windows disc dropped onto your sd card.. easy to do;
