Thanks for the logs, appreciate that .
I think this feature could be done but my main focus now is on getting android up and running without booting problems, still there are issues with some devices
Wait for another version soon with multiple bugfixes and UI improvements.

Thanks

Not all system requirements are met, Please check the installer log.

Dears,
Greetings for this tremendous work!
Few days ago I've bought an Windows Tablet, While I trying to install Androidx86-Installv2.exe the below message appears:
"Not all system requirements are met
Please check the installer log."
I've attached the installer log and my System Info.
Basically I want to switch from Windows to Android.
If is there any method I repeat any method or system for my Tab, please please suggest me.
I don't want to buy another tab or device.
Lots of thanks in advance and waiting for .......
With best regards,
Rana.

I'm testing this program on ASUS T100TAM, with Android x86 5.1 RC1

I hope it works

EDIT:
It works and it is very simple to use, fully working

If you can add Android directly to Windows Boot Manager that would be great

I recommend to set 8100MB of Partition for who have a little HDD for have 6GB of USER Memory

After I upload LOG

Thanks for the update bro. Working fine in iBall Slide (WQ149i) 2-in-1 Wifi Tablet. But facing minor bug in Android (Not related to the installer)

Also is there is a way/option to make the Android Read-Writable (Ignore if posted in wrong thread) for root access.

Thanks for reporting this :good:
as a Workaround you can change "Target Drive" and the free space will be updated, no need to restart the installer.
