[Q] is it possible to install windows 7 on Acer A500 tablet?

---

Dear Friends,

When I shopped around for a tablet, the last thing that came to my mind was a tablet with OS Windows, however after using android tablet, I feel a tablet with windows is much better as we have software to go with it. I am a trader, I need multi profile sharing, video support, document editors, pdf to word convertors and other related apps to be mobile friendly. Can I install windows 7 on my Acer A500 which is currently running android?

How do I install it? Tablet don't have CD drive.
Where to download win 7 for tablet
Drivers for the tablet

please help
Cheers

I'll give you an advice. Sell your tablet and pack your bags. You are not cut out for installing even a custom rom.

Windows runs so far only on x64-x86 CPUs which are a totally different architecture from ARM.

Apps are incompatible among these two architectures. Windows 8 will run on ARM(yes iconia and all other tablets are ARM) but no previous apps will work unless built from scratch, on Windows 8 ARM edition.

y dont you sell your a500 and buy a w500? should be the easiest way

If you need Window$ (and I completely understand why you might) take a look at the existing windows tablets. Fujitsu just came out with a new slate form tablet that might fit your needs.

XDA is the wrong place to be.

Sorry, I am just an end user not developer. I got no time for understanding software archetecture. As a user the equipment and sofware must support my needs. I can't connect to a Ad hoc connection, I cannot have multi profiles, equipment has 2 cameras but I cant use msn or yahoo to video call, the usb drive is just a socket for thumb drive. I can't get a mobile tethering via USB. Ms office cannot be installed, FAX applications don't work, not all bluetooth printers work. What more .... we spend money to make our business easy not end up installing ROM. Tabkets are ment to be laptop replacements and business friendly.

cool the fujitsu tablet looks real cool. I need to see if I can get a trade in with a top up on this iconia. I also saw the HP slate looks good as well.

Acer Windows Version

If all these things are as important as you say, then why the hell didn't you research your purchase first?

A misleading statement. The W500 comes with Windows, not the A500.
