Dell Venue 8 Pro on Win10 - Revert to Win8.1? - Dell Venue

I bought a Dell Venue 8 Pro 5830 second had, and it came preloaded with Windows 10. BIOS version is A16. I saw a bunch of videos on YouTube of this tablet running several PC games pretty well, as well as some emulators. When I try running some PC games, most run very sluggish.
I have done some reading on several forums, and it seems to be that having Windows 8.1 may resolve my issues. How can I install Windows 8.1 on this tablet? I can't find a recovery image anywhere.
Thanks!

[Q] Dell Venue 8 3830 - Windows/BIOS?

Hey,
I'm interested in getting this tablet to run Windows, to my understanding you require a BIOS.
Seeing as how there is literally a counterpart tablet made with Windows (Dell Venue 8 Pro), wouldn't it be possible to figure out how to throw that BIOS onto here?

LF Help installing Android to Windows Tablets

Hi
I recently installed Remix OS to my Asus X502C laptop and it all seemed really quick and easy so I decided to try it out on my old Linx 7 Windows Tablet and my iRulu Windows W1005 however I just cannot seem to get it to work.
I can get it installed to either the hdd or a bootable USB drive but when I choose the Android OS to boot from I get varying errors of missing things etc and then it hangs on a black screen.
I have also tried various other Android images listed to work on Windows tabs and other installers; Rufus, the Androidx86 installer 2.4 from a thread on this forum etc..
I can run MEmu no problem on my iRulu but I really would like a dual boot on it or just single boot on the Linx 7, I am a member on the Linx forum and Reddit but the Android discussion seems to be dead on there and guides/files are missing but people have said they have had Android running.
Can anyone point me to something that will work?
Thanks in advance for any help.

WINE 3.0 for YOGA BOOK

Wine 3.0 has been released recently and it now supports android, especially x86 android, like our beloved YB.
Unfortunately, im using windows version.
ive tried the WINE 3.0 on my Shield Tablet (arm), it works but with limited function. i only got to play with the windows calculator. media player comes pre-installed but doesnt run. maybe because my android tablet was ARM-based.
ive discovered that for android, the C:/ directory is at /data/data/org.winehq.wine/ - so you would probably need to root your device.
for those who have the YB android, pls let us know what you think
I tried to get Office 2016 working in Wine 3.1 but got an error upon install. I haven't had a chance to try any other installs

Acer One S1003 Android drivers

Hello,
I just got as a present an Acer One S1003 and it's on Windows 10 and I don't like it. Cannot return it (don't ask why pls), but I managed to install Android 7.0 on it. Now the issue I have is that it doesn't find the driver for Wifi and G Sensor. Everything else works, sound and all, but I can't enable Wifi or Autorotate.
Tried to find the drivers on Google but I could only find the Windows 10 ones.
Please help me to find some drivers or let me know if I need to install a different version of Android.
Thank you,
Daniel
on android 8.1 and 9 wifi is working but don't work g sensor and i can only run android x86 8.1 with no hardware acceleration. Can't normal start android. I don't know what is with x64 because this s.h.i.t of tablet supports only UEFI 32 bit, NO 64 bit and NO legacy mode, but processor is 64 bit and have 4 gb memory. Someone in acer is very very creative processor x64 4 GB memory and only support UEFI 32 bit my mind can't understand it :/

WINDOWS 10/11 , CHROMEOS , UBUNTU

Do you think there's any way to install WIN 10/11 on our tablet? (No emulators)[Dual Boot Maybe], even the ARM version works.
I am also ready to install (dualboot) chrome os (CloudReady), but for that we need the device to boot from live usb which maybe isn't available on our tablet, and if it is, please guide me.
I've done my part of research and I've been using the tab s 7+ for about 4 months now. I need windows or a full on chrome desktop experience of windows. My last resort for this will be Linux/Ubuntu, which i am not willing to go for, but will do if i have no other option.

I haven't heard of anyone installing windows 10 even windows 11 on an android tablet like the tab s7
Your best bet would be Linux or smth like that because the kernel would be similar.
Windows can’t be installed because Windows use a different kernel process from Linux and android, nonetheless, I don't know if anyone has managed to run it.

Won't happen.
The bootloader will not allow it and Win 10/11 does not support the Qualcomm 865 SOC.

I don't think the 845 was supported either, yet the Oneplus 6t runs Windows 11 though
Here's Windows 11 running on a OnePlus 6T months before it gets Android 11 [Video]
A talented developer has managed to install Microsoft's new Windows 11 platform on the OnePlus 6T, a device even lacking Android 11.

It loads and kinda runs, but core SOC features do not work.
So no, the 845 is not "supported".
No network, no bluetooth, no sound, partially functioning GPU... that's not a functional device.
An of course the high risk of bricking your device.
it is windows 11, idk if windows ARM would run it but idk, i rather not risk breaking my phone for installing windows

Here's how to install Windows on Android tablets
You can't directly install Windows on an Android tablet, but you can certainly use it on one. Here's how to use Windows on an Android tablet.

I wish this was possible .. now i am selling my tablet over this hhhh i mean cause i need to run windows
While the Windows 11 ARM Versions start to slowley emerge for some android devices, give Parsec a try for your Remote Desktop work. It differs from RDP, since over parsec you can actually use the Host PC's GPU.
There are some android tablets that have Windows 11 up and running: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaom...devices-that-can-run-Windows-11.604674.0.html
