So it launched. Installed it on my laptop, dual booting with Windows 10.

And I must say, very impressed. Posting this via the OS

I want to install it on an older HP Notebook, how well is the keyboard integrated?

keyboard? completely. why wouldn't it be? or am I misunderstanding what you are asking?

I installed it on my laptop. Works 100% with the keyboard, touchpad and my usb wireless mouse.

I saw a post on it somewhere... but if you want to test, the windows HDD installer is really easy.

1. Run installer. Takes about 3 minutes to do its thing.
2. Reboot.
3. Pick Remix OS or Windows

If you want to uninstall:
1. Run in the uninstaller in the installed directory.

No worrying about partitions or anything like that. Wished all dual booting setups were this easy to setup.

Is it really that easy?

I have a laptop with an Samsung 950 Pro SSD m.2

Will it work?

It's worth a try

oh ok, it's completely integrated, no on screen nonsense, if that is what you were worried about.

Tried it on my tablet, copied its files, installed the bootloader etc. When it rebooted it just went into Windows.

So I think the issue is that my tablet has a 64bit CPU but only supports 32bit EFI, this seems like a common problem with Linux and Windows tablets. There are some work arounds, trying it now.

Just a heads up, the beta partitions your flash drive if you go the uefi way. No real biggy but you're going to have to disk clean it to get it back to normal. A format won't help.

My windows only picks up 9 gigs of my 32 gig drive as the rest is now in a different file format. Also gets a lot more toastier than running the alpha.

So I tried a precompiled image with the 32bit efi file some dude made, it did what the rest of the android x86 ports did, just ends up at this black and white screen.

Have to disable secure boot in the bios.

Usb 2 or 3?

 

[Neoprod]

Usb 2 or 3?

Doesn't matter really unless you get a really expensive flash drive. The flash memory is the bottleneck.

I was going to attempt it with 2 (if allowed), but no chance now.
