REPLACE ANDROID WITH WINDOWS 8 ON SAMSUNG TAB 10.1

Hi. Anyone out there know if I can replace the OS on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the Windows 8 the new Tab comes out with? My online trading platform does not like Android.

Nope. Not possible.

Would be awesome though if you could.

It is hard enough to get all android versions on a single device. It might be possible but it will cost money for the manufacturers to spend time and resources to test devices are multiple OS friendly.

why don't you try solve the problem without replacing the OS eg you could try and see if it works in another browser like Chrome or Firefox.

I also thought about this maybe it will be possible when win 8 arm is released

The closest you will get is to install Splash 8 on your tablet and remote your windows 8 PC.

Oh and it rocks if you do.

As for your problem, is this in all browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Dolphin? In short does it need IE only, if yes I would say your problem is not the browser but the ****ty trading platform.

Windows RT is only available to manufacturers and has a locked bootloader for specific authorized devices.

will be a while before it is leaked and the bootloader hacked to allow other devices if ever

would have been a nice alternative to buying a windows rt tab.

Its more than just bootlooder locked issues, we talking drivers as well. Simply put you have just as much chance to get Windows RT on a Samsung tablet as you have getting iOS on it.

Correct, although Nvidia has released win8 drivers for Tegra2/3 on their site there is still a lot of other hardware that needs to be addressed

this post somes it up nicely.

I rarely comment, but I had to chime in. Right now as it stands what is holding back Windows RT is secure-boot on UEFI. Running secure-boot requires signed certificates. You can remove and install as you wish on most UEFI boards for x86/64 PCs, but the hurdle is are not these boards. Hell; Fedora is paying MSFT to be included on their cert so you can install Fedora on Win8 compatible hardware without changing the cert. The hurdle is that MSFT is really locking down the boards for RT ARM based boards. Now if we could change the certs on the ARM based device then we have a start. A start; not a bootable working Win8RT OS. Porting for hardware still needs to be done to make it usable. No joke though; it would be great to be able to have the option of dual booting android and Win8RT. Practical; in its current state not really, but most of us aren't here to completely change our device, but we install and change ROMS because we can; for bragging rights.

most developers are working on JB releases for the 10.1 so I doubt this will ever happen.

I just use remote desktop on the tab and I have the windows 8 experience on my tab...
