found my old tablet & had the idea of using it as a music player or something - its an x86 based thing that currently dual boots Android 4.4 and Windows 8.1, but honestly the Android side is so old as to be useless, can't install shit for apps on it
I found there is an Android 5 rom kicking around but is it even worth installing that? or should I just maybe try and repartition the whole thing and stick Windows 10 on it?
@lion I'd say go for straight Linux on it, drivers might be a pain in the ass if it originally had Windows 8.1.
@lion Should work for another two years, until Win 10 is EOL. How much storage and RAM?
@NekoEd 2GB RAM 64GB storage (currently split with android so windows has 32)
@lion That's super tight, and 2GB if RAM will thrash that eMMC with swap....
@NekoEd well it's running 8.1 passably at the moment & I didn't think 10 was much heavier?
@lion I've run 10 on less, but it had to be the 32 bit version and it was good for maybe three Edge tabs. Double the RAM might get you 6? X3
@NekoEd oh maybe that's why it shipped with 32-bit 8.1 then? Didn't realise that made a difference
@lion Yeah, the 32 bit version is a little more compact and has reduced minimum requirements.
@lion Even better!
@NekoEd tbh though according to what i've seen on forums Win 10 should work, they even shipped it on later units - apparently it only needs some Intel drivers
