I have an old netbook that is pretty slow, it would be nice if I can install remix os as the only OS on that laptop. no boot from USB, no dual boot with windows, just push on button and remix os boots up.
For example, when I boot up ubuntu from usb there is the option to wipe hdd and install ubuntu on it. Would be nice if remix os had similar feature.

If your netbook is old (perhaps with 32bit cpu only), you'll have to take into account, that Remix OS will not start because there are problems with the graphics system.
Post "Installing Remix OS to Hard Drive or Virtual Machine without additional tools" describes how to use the built in formatting tool "cfdisk" for deleting old partitions and creating new partitions and setting up Remix OS in the next steps.
If you don't mind using additional tools like "PartedMagic" you'll find a description how to prepare a hdd and how to install Remix OS in Post "Remix OS on Hard Drive or Virtual Machine - Installation and (OTA) Update"

Hi,
I tried to install remix os beta on my acer switch 10 sw3-013, but there is no way to start onto remix os, tried lots of things (uefi settings, disabling secure boot, selecting bootx64.efi from remix os folder, changing windows boot menu, trying with both legacy and efi version of remix os, on hdd or usb, even SD card...)
No way, my Acer always start back to windows...
If anyone has some tips that actually work, i'd be happy to.
Just for the troll, it work like a charm on my Macbook ;P , but i'd rather use it on the switch if possible
Thanks

Can I install Remix OS on it, directly to the hard drive without any kind of dual boot?
Just plain simple remix os?
yeah you can you need to remove the hdd and then install the remix on it using a second computer and then plug that HDD back into the laptop and then u will be able to boot only remix on that laptop ... good luck
It is possible, as I have detailed in my post here. If you need the code for the grub.cfg, check here.
Enjoy Remix OS on your PC!
Its actually easy - All you need to do is boot up gparted - live linux ( i used mint linux off a usb key) - run gparted, format the hd you want as ext3 or ext4, set the boot flag (under manage flags) .. then boot the remix usb key - select resident mode, you have a few seconds to add this at the end of the line INSTALL=1
hit enter.. walk through the installer, done.. once its finished remove the key, boot from HD.

I am having trouble installing Remix OS in my laptop (Acer E5-521)
I made a 16GB partition for the Remix OS and install the system via it's bundled program.
I also successfully configured my laptop to dual-boot with Remix OS and Windows 10 with a complex work-around (Simple EasyBCD process doesn't work for me as the NeoGrub is greyed out) even I disabled the secure boot in the boot menu.
Once I try to boot to the Remix OS this what happen: it stays on the logo. I tired to wait for some hour and even stayed my laptop overnight it will not boot to the UI or the setup.
I try to look for solutions. Unfortunately, most tutorial I saw is through using an MBR partition.
My PC HDD is a GPT -- which is kinda obsolete using an OS like this.
To anyone who can help or had successfully installed the OS in a GPT HDD, I am hoping for your kindness to share your knowledge regarding this matter.
Looking forward for a reply

Try Phoenix OS 2.0.3. I have installed it on a GPT Hdd, ntfs formated partition with triple boot options. Windows 10, OS x 10.12, Phoenix OS. working fine without any problem. I used .exe file of Phoenix OS instead of .iso file.
My PC is Dell Optiplex 7010 , Intel Corei5, 8GB Ram, Nvidia Geforce 210
Here are my system basics:
ASUS M32CD
Intel Core i7-6700
NVIDIA GeForce GT730
Installation to hard drive was successful, and I can get to the grub menu. I get such at the Remix OS boot logo, and have let it go for an hour before a hard shutdown. I have tried setting it to use Intel graphics only, with same result and I have added androidboot.swrast=1 in grub.
I'm using the latest version on the official site. Guest mode from USB will boot. I known this system can run Linux, as I have Korora 24 on a separate hard drive (not hooked to the mother board at the same time).
they should really remake the installation process, i am only able to run remix os, on on of my computer. all running windows 10.

I refuse to run Windows. So if it takes installing Windows to run it, I guess I won't run it.
