hey all
is it possible to install windows 7 onto a viewsonic g tablet
i have a windows 7 bootable key just unsure how to get the device to boot from it
if this is not possible and linux based os's able to be installed.
thanks
ARM based processors (which the tegra 2 is) are not supported yet (Win7).
You'll have to wait for Windows 8 for that...then we'll have to see!!
I think Viewsonic's dual boot Windows7/Android tab uses an Intel Atom processor.
so is it possible to boot from a usb key though?
Sure its possible. But I highly doubt you or anyone here is going to undertake the task of modifying windows in order to work properly the ARM processor on the Gtab

At this point no.
Win7 code is not ARM compatible. Intel & ARM based processors use different code. That's why the Viewsonic dual boot tab uses an Intel Atom instead of a Tegra.
Even when Win8 is out, somone would have to develop the dual boot capable bootloader to select between the 2 OS's.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to happen in the near future (if ever)!!!! By the time this is even a possibility most will have moved on to the latest/greatest device out. Can't wait for the quad-core Tegra devices which probably would be much more capable of running Win8 than the current Tegra2s.
I think that "we have a dream!!" VS is pushing away the new customers from gtablet, so after a few weeks the most developers will support someone other tablet. AND there are a lot of them!!
Windows 7 is a no go, but I was able to install WinCe on a cheapy Chinese Android tablet I previously had, not to sure if that can be done on the G-Tab.
Hi all,
I have been able to boot with usb drive on an Asus G73JH and has been running OK. Issue with browser, it brings a dialog and said something when wrong do you want to close. I say no and continue...it comes back within a minute with the same issue. This is the legacy version.
Love this guys....I have been looking to run Android on my PC. This is encouraging and great job on Remix!
i can't boot with usb driver on my sony vaio fit although i downloaded remixos - uefi version. please help me!
I'm trying to boot Remix OS Legacy version on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, from a San Disk 16GB USB 3.0 drive. I've downloaded and burned the Remix OS to the USB twice but all I get is a Boot Loop.
The PC starts booting and I get the option to boot in Resident Mode or Guest Mode. Doesn't matter which I choose, it gets to the point in the screen shot below and the PC simply reboots over and over.
I've checked the BIOS and can't find anywhere to disable secure boot or anything like that. Any help or ideas Thanks!

When your pc starts, keep pressing F2 key. You will enter the BIOS menu. Go to the boot tab, select "Legacy Boot" mode and disable "Secure Boot". Change the boot structure from HDD to FDD. Press F10 to save and reboot. Done.

Ah, but you didn't say search harder. You just reiterated what I'd already been doing.
I guess that old PC isn't gonna run Remix.

My nine year old ****ty laptop has legacy boot, dude, how is it possible you dont have it. If not, get an update from the motherboard's official website.
For example, some acer laptops did not have legacy boot mode, so, they released an update to it on their official website. Maybe, your manufacture did it too.

Do you really think that all the brands release updates for their bios?
Most of them don't! The one for my motherboard ends at 24/11/2010....

Well don't look anymore for secure boot because Inspirons don't have/support it.(Under system information mine says unsupported) I don't have any ideas/recommendations for you other than to redownload and reburn to usb because on my Inspiron all I had to do was change the boot priority order in the boot menu and whenever the usb is plugged in I boot to it.
I think Remix is still in alpha stage. From other side, there is to many diferent hardware, and it is hard to support all of them. My experience: I have Toshiba Satellite L775D AMD quad core wit AMD Radeon 6520G hd and 6GB RAM. I am very familiar with instalation of OSs on hdd, I have 4 Linux distros, 1 Android x86 and 1 Windows 10 on same hard drive (multi boot, runing GRUB from Arch Linux), but I can't boot Remix. Also, I can not boot Android x86 Lollipop and Android x86 Marsmellow. I can boot Android x86 KitKat and have one installed on hdd. From other side, on my wife Acer Aspire, I can boot all of these stuffs.
Sory dude, but I think you simple have no luck with your hardware and Remix. Maybe things will be better in future for you (and for me).

Same with me still, with beta
Workaround for dell inspiron is to use PlopKexec boot manager. Don't know if it will work for HDD but I got USB 32bit version working on my Dell inspiron 1545 using it.
32bit works for me!
Got an old Dell GX620. 64bit gave endless loop symptoms. 32bit works like a charm! :good:
My Toshiba Sattelite C50d-a-13w can boot remix and android x86(_64) from 5.1 to 7.1 ...................
I realize that this is way overdue, however Dell laptops back then did not support secure boot, and while they did support both UEFI, you could not enable or disable either, you just had to manually specify each time you boot from USB what you wish to boot (and Dells use F12 for manual boot).
As to whether RemixOS boots or not, that is down to the specific hardware and OS version.
I have an Intel DH55HC motherboard, and Remix OS booted on it without issues, until the last versions, where it would keep failing to boot.
Hi All
my tablet, CHUWI HI10 PLUS (4G+64G HI10 PQ64G42160801497) , came originally whit REMIX OS and WIN 10. all was working good.
i don’t like the remix and installed ANDROID 5.1 from CHUWI OFFICIAL DOWNLOAD SECTION .The android was installed great ,but the touch not working. I reinstalled WIN 10 , the touch works for 2 min and the stops. In safe mode of windows the touch works great.

Worst product ever probably, check the ratings on Amazon. 27% give it only one star.
If you bought it from China, you are screwed, NO WAY to return it...
The longer you have it, the more faults turn up!

Doesnt work because of AMD GPU, probably even an AMD CPU? AMD it not supported by Android-x86 which is the base system os RemixOS.
Try again with Intel. Should work.
