Hello,
Can I install Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 to my tablet?
My tablet: Goclever Tab 9300 (Poland producer)
Thanks.
Best regards
windows 8/8.1 definitely not, it has an ARM processor and windows 8/8.1 requires an X86-compatible processor.
windows RT could theoretically be done, but it would require a lot of trickery and custom drivers which no developer is ever going to bother with.
so in short, no.
if you want windows on that tablet, use remote desktop, vnc, teamviewer, etc.

Windows 8 includes new feature called Windows To Go which allows you to run an instance of Windows 8 from a USB drive on any Windows 7 capable hardware without affecting any installation on that machine.
Here is complete step by step guide on how to Create and Use Windows 8 To Go USB
Have you verified this to work with Win8 Pro RTM, as opposed to Win8 Ent (which has a much simpler procedure to create WTG)?
yup, Windows to go feature is available for all versions of Windows 8.

Hey all...
I searched but didn't find much about this so I'm sorry if this is a duplicate question. I bought a samsung laptop preloaded with windows 8, however I also wanted to I shall windows 7 pro on another partition but I am concerned about the impacts to the boot loader.
Any thoughts if there will be any impact if I install windows 7 pro as the second OS on my machine?

All NT6 variants and versions (Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008, 2012, RT, etc.) all use BCD and should understand eachother's bootloader configurations. Installing Win7 should simply add another entry to the bootloader. If it for some reason overwrites the Win8 bootloader, you can manually add it back. If you're really worried, use bcdedit's export function to back up the configuration first.
Also, have you considered just using Hyper-V instead? If you've got a moderately powerful PC (it doesn't have to be much more than basic requirements) you can use Hyper-V to run other OSes if for some reason you need a legacy version of Windows (or if you want to install Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, the way I did...)
I have Samsung Ativ Smart PC notebook (tablet transformer) based on Intel Atom Z2760 and Windows 8 x86 core.
Windows Phone SDK 8.0 required Windows 8 x64, Hyper-V and hardware virtualization. But if I don't need Windows Phone Emulator, I don't need Hyper-V and hardware virtualization.
Is there a way to install Windows Phone SDK without Emulator?
(Sorry, translated from Russian)
oh
The windows phone SDK comes with a complete set of tools, so while installing you can't CHOOSE what you want or not....
You have just 2 options-
1 : Install it with every thing which is present in the SDK.
2 : Maybe after installation TRY to delete/uninstall the phone emulator separately but at first you HAVE to let it install completely.
Hit thanks if you got me..!!

Hello,
Is it possible to run, either though virtual machine or by dual boot, to run another system such as Linux (Ubuntu) or Windows 98 or Windows XP?

You already can run Linux on this tab, it's not practical but you can. As for Windows, 98 and XP are not Arm compatible so there is no go for those. The only possibility is Windows 8 RT and it only runs on their official hardware.

okay thank you. do you have any tips to run linux on this tablet? I'm not at all new to how android runs (5 android devices of mine are hacked) but I am completely new to this inconia tab. What would I need to do?
EDIT: Never mind I can chroot Linux to run it.
So Windows 10 on ARM is here, and I have seen a project resulting in Win10 running on an ARM phone (Lumia 950XL)
Does anyone know if there are projects to install Windows 10 on an ARM powered Android Tablet?
Anyone??
Would like to know from someone who undersntad the boot technology on ARM powered Android tabs if its even practical to modify the bootloader to load a windows image.
They can install Win 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3
They can install Win 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3, they should be able to boot in Android and Fire Tables
Afaik, there's no standard UEFI implementation yet that will boot WoA for android devices. You'd also still run into the issue of drivers, we can't just take Android drivers and use them under Windows (different kernels, syscalls and executable format), so porters would need to find or build Windows equivalents.
I also almost forgot, MS is also removing things related to calling and messaging from the system, so viability may not be good anymore.
