Guide to install Android on a Windows tablet and, vice versa, to install Windows 10 on an Android tablet
If we have an Android tablet that we hardly or hardly use, it may be interesting to try install Windows 7 or Windows 10 on it and turn it into a small touchscreen PC (maybe you can also connect the keyboard to).
By avoiding complicated procedures, the simplest way is the one offered by the program Change My Softwareno longer updated since 2017, but available in different versions for Windows 10, Windows 7 and also Windows 8 and XP.
The program requires that the Android tablet be connected to the PC via USB cable and that the Android tablet has at least 8 GB of free space. The procedure is pretty simple:
During the final stage of the installation, do not check the box that removes Android otherwise you will not be able to go back and if the performance is poor or there are problems, it will be much more difficult to restore Android.
While installing Android can be an interesting solution, probably, in the case of an old and / or slow tablet, it would be better, instead of putting Windows, change ROM and install a lighter version of Android. In another article we saw the guide on how to install a Custom Android ROM and how to install ROM with ADB.
If we have a Windows 10 (or Windows 8) tablet of the cheapest ones, which works badly because it is slow and because it has little space in the internal memory to install programs, it is really worth trying to install Android on it to bring it back fast. Android consumes fewer resources than Windows 10, is free and allows you to install many more applications. From the point of view of the procedure, the installation of Android on a Windows tablet, theoretically more complicated, is facilitated by some operating systems born for this purpose.
In particular, it is possible to install Phoenix OS, the Android operating system for PCwhich works with all Intel x86 devices and can be installed by creating a USB stick.
The procedure for install Android with Phoenix OS on a Windows 10 tablet is to use the downloaded installer to create the installation USB stick and then, start the PC from USB and follow the guided procedure.
Just be careful to disable any secure boot option in the tablet’s UEFI BIOS. In addition, an external USB keyboard must be connected to the tablet to select the various options during installation.
If you don’t want to change your operating system, you can use simpler ways to run Android apps on Windows 10. Just install one of the Android emulators for Windowswhich work like normal programs and allow you to download smartphone apps and games.
As seen in another guide, it is also possible install Android on PC on virtual machinetaking advantage of the Android-X86 project.
Other ways to revitalize an old or slow Windows tablet is that of installare ChromeOS con CloudReadywhich supports touchscreen controls and also allows you to use Android applications.
