Their screen shots also showed a bit of change in the UI (user interface) depending on the form factor. I tried PhoenixOS first and I did that simply because I’ve not seen it and it had a nice Windows Installer.
PhoenixOS (I did this before Jide said they were no longer working in the consumer market). The Intel Atom processor in the TM800W560L tablet is such a processor (64-Bit). Well, maybe more, but three that I’ve found. Now there are three versions of Android that are made for x86 (32-bit) or x86_64 processors. Also enable boot from USB if not already set.īTW, none of this is really touching UEFI. While you’re at it, might as well turn off quick boot to give you F2/ESC at the boot screen. Once in the BIOS, goto Security -> Secure Boot menu -> Secure Boot -> make sure it’s set to. Here is where you need the keyboard, because unlike Android, no nice volume keys and power for navigation. So it’s Troubleshooting -> Advanced Options -> UEFI Firmware Settings, which is another restart. I’m not “Troubleshooting”, but that is where I had to go. Now of course the initial screens work with touch. It’s deeply buried I had to go to Settings -> Updates & Security -> Recovery -> Advanced Setup -> Restart Now. BTW, in case you’re a newbie, bluetooth doesn’t work in the BIOS.įirst, get into the sad excuse of what Microsoft provides for recovery for a tablet. Check the steps below, but for this NuVision tablet, I needed a USB OTG adapter, and (powered) USB hub and then the keyboard / mouse. This is probably the case for anyone who uses a x86 (non-arm) based tablet. At least with ease and for people who aren’t just consumption payment machines. Microsoft has pushed a poor-excuse of a tablet OS on vendors who really don’t think too far in advance of working on the tablet. Okay, okay, rant-mode off… How do I check? Well, to summarize, its a pain. The same can be said of other companies, but think about to what extent. And remember Microsoft takes every opportunity to take away your choices and force you to use and do things you might not otherwise want. It sounds good, but is it? In these type of choices, it’s most often a matter of what is important to you. Secure Boot, what an amazingly stupid idea. Knowing the little I do about OSs and stuff, I first wanted to see the state of “Secure Boot”. Anyways, here are my adventures… Secure Boot / Recovery / BIOS / UEFI And sadly, (spoilers) you don’t always get what you want. To the, to the, to the….Įnough said, Windows had to come off. To the fact that the on screen keyboard would hide where I was typing. From the start with it not connecting to WiFi because Windows 10 wanted uppercase alpha characters even though every other Linux, Android, Mac OS X or iOS device works with lower case. Honestly I tried to use it, but it was a joke. So a friend gave me a NuVision tm800w560l tablet running Windows 10.
