[Q] Windows 8 on Android Tablets/Smartphones - Off-topic

I was travelling the youtube and i saw a video where you can actually install windows 8 on your android device.
It's an app that installs the windows via the usb which must be connected to the device.
The app it's called Change My Software 8 Edition
The big question is : Is it real or is it Fake ?
Also if it's real, can you actually run .exe files like windows do ?
Or is it just an emulator ?
Or what is it then ?

That's a good question that I am exploring as well, and I can tell you what I do know thus far. For those that say "you can't run windows on an Atom processor" Google Windows RT. This is the OS that is used by the Microsoft Surface devices. I have yet to find a source to download this OS. It isn't even available on the MSDN network (at least not with my license), so I have not tested this to verify.
To answer the other questions:
Is it real or is it Fake ? Probably fake. If it were real they would charge for it.
is it just an emulator ? From the video I saw it appeared to be a dual boot system, so not an emulator.
if it's real, can you actually run .exe files like windows do ? If real, yes! **EDIT** Do some looking into Windows RT and you will find that you can only run the applications available in the Windows Store. very sad indeed.
For those who may be interested as well, here is a link to the video I watched.
Well... it will not let me post a link so you will have to search "How to install WINDOWS 8 on ANDROID TABLET/PHONE?? [TUTORIAL]" on YouTube. Sorry!!
Also they have a website changemysoftware [DOT] org

Windows 95 using DOSBox

Hey does anyone had booted Win95 using dosbox? (the desktop edition)
If anyone knows how-to then please reply.
I need it for the future Win95-Niki booting.
go to development and hacking thread and do a search
i remember there was a thread for win 95 using bosch emulator
and yes it run very poorly and there is only enough mem to start stuff like paint and notepad
If you search on Google you will find about this, but I preffer to emulate a old 68k Macintosh with vMac
BUT Bochs (for PPC):
-is workin' slowly
-is buggy
-on mine Niki(WWE 6.1; R:1.58.16.27), when execute, nothing happens
if your looking to boot on pc i would try virtual pc.
unless you didnt want to use that?
Another very good VM is VirtualBox. And here is the link for Virtual PC.
But it must be DosBox, 'cuz it's avalaible for PPC
as are all the other suggestions people give
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362344&highlight=windows+xp
A WORD OF WARNING
you could use bochs to do it.
im trying to run win 95 on xda 2 but no luck yet.
so it might not work

Humm. flyboyovyick2k9 gave you a very nice tip

[Q] PC Emulator?

So i watched the Windows Phone 8 Summit Video and the "Havok" spokesman mentioned "PC Emulator" as being one of the features of WP8 along with DirectX etc.
I assume it's for the Windows 8 to WP8 app porting simplicity, but that begs the question what else could that allow?
If for example the community were to lift any limitation MS could and will put in place. What would that unleash? Sure your only limited to the phones hardware, but still a lot of things can be made with built in PC emulator.
Out of curiosity and speculation.
I fear you misunderstood what they meant by that. They were talking about the Windows Phone 8 Emulator running on the PC as part of the Windows Phone SDK (the same as today - the SDK Emulator runs Windows Phone in an x86 Build). Although it seems they changed the way it works as they mentioned the virtualized phone os running in HyperV.

I guess i got lost in the moment. Wasn't Hyper-V introduced with the 7.5 emulator.. Anyways thanks for corrected me. lol

[Q] Download windows phone 8 emulator

Is the windows phone 8 emulator an application for PC or it's not?
if it's an application can you give me a link to download it for windows 8 pro?
or if it's a virtual machine can you give me a link to download it for VMware or for VirtualBox?
Bit of A, bit of B. It's an application (XDE.exe) which displays, and mimics the hardware of, a WP8 device. The actual WP8 code runs in Hyper-V (this is why it requires Win8 and a modern CPU), executing an x86-compiled build of the WP8 operating system.
I don't know of any way to load virtual hard drive in another virtualization environment and have it be useful / visible to XDE (although you could try), but XDE.exe by itself won't be of any use to you either.
Of course, it's a free download from Microsoft as part of the WP8 SDK. It's kind of big, but that's largely due to the VHD files (it has several of them, for different phone configurations).

Thanks for help...
Can you give me a direct link to download it, because I cannot find a link to download it.
and can you give me a method to install it.

Install the windows phone 8 SDK (it really isnt hard to find).
But i am warning you, the WP8 emulator is really not useful at all...
It can not perform basic tasks like emulating an SD card or any hardware thing that is new to the WP8 system. Its sole use i found so far is to see how the UI looks on various resolutions, nothing more.

[Q] Windows 8.1 Embedded Handheld

Was reading some stuff on:
no allowed to post links msdn(dot)microsoft(dot)com/en-us/library/dn715933(v=winembedded.81).aspx
Windows 8.1 Embedded Handheld is basically Windows Phone 8.1... but then we got:
"ID_CAP_ENTERPRISE_SHARED_DATA"
It's replacing the "ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES" in enterprise apps... I'm just wondering if you need an Enterprise/OEM developer account to use this cap? Anyone tried anything with this and deploying it to Windows Phone?
No time currently to test anything, was reading about this during a train ride...

Run Windows 8 / Win 10 on my Nokia phone on an external monitor

Hi! I am constantly in need to use my laptop but I cannot carry it anywhere. So I thought what if it is possible to install and run Win 8/Win10 on my android phone (without of course removing or tampering too much with the stock OS, so that I can do some work on an external monitor?
1st of all lets see if the hardware can support this:
1) Does the Nokia 7 plus support HDMI through its USB port?
2) Does the Nokia 7 plus support HDMI over WiFi? If not can we use 3rd party app to send display through WiFi?
3) The Nokia 7 plus supports up to 256 GB of microSD storage capacity, so we have plenty of space to run Windows.
4)The CPU: What do you think, can this CPU run Win 8/10 and make simple tasks like text editing? PDF work? Spreadsheet work? Etc etc?
Thanx to all willing to answer these questions!
Lol
Why do you SPAM if you don;t have anything to say???
Some Ubuntu/Linux made an HYBRID OS that could turn your Smartphone into a DESKTOP PC by simply connecting an external monitor and mouse/keyboard
Then Nokia phones running Windows OS for phones had the same ability!
I have a vanilla clean Android device and I want to install/run Windows OS somehow parallel to it so I can take my phone out of my pocket and access my windows programs when in need (spreadsheets for examples and do work).
I know that there are some EMULATORS but I prefer something better than that.
Thank you!

It's impossible even unlock the bootloader (in a simple and free way) or install a custom rom...
Once again, lol. It's x86 architecture vs arm. Windows doesn't have full arm support. Also, thermally your phone will die trying to run windows. It's a really badly optimized os. I would have figured that lol would have been a precise enough answer to tell you that it's not possible.
Nobody ever attempted to do what you want to achieve.
Samsung Dex also runs in the Android System.
Linux can be compiled to run on Arm, Windows is still pending.
If you are in need for a small windows machine, buy GPD Pocket or migrate your workflow in Google docs and use the apps to edit your documents.

But is "simple" difference, both Android and GNU/Linux use Linux as kernel, then if you run GNU/Linux on top of Android, then use same/running kernel.

This is too something else, Windows 10 Mobile OS has/had similar NT kernel/libraries as Windows 10, anyway this not run x86 application and too not arm native applications, but ONLY modern/metro apps, and need adapting app for running on big screen...

you want to run two DIFFERENT OS with DIFFERENT KERNEL and DIFFERENT LIBRARY and both native, without emulation, this is impossible, until some (Microsoft, or some reverse engineerings, or WINE developers or.. ) make (wtih BIG work and MANTIME) some kernel/library translation layer...
Guys, why do you reject stuff that I have seen working years ago?
youtube.com/watch?v=wzc0uMXGFBY
ok I found the video, check for yourself! ^^^
OK thanx for the info, I wil lwait some time until someone releases this for later version of Android....
and btw they ran this OS in 2012..now its 2019....

on video is NOT Android, but UbuntuPhone, this is GNU/Linux OS with multiUI=for_small&for_big screen, and with some "libraries" same as on reguler GNU/Linux desktop, then is possible run native GNU/Linux (for ARM) applications...
again, Windows is different OS, with different kernel and different libraries, then is imposible run it without emulation on top of any Android (=with Linux kernel)...
if you need full desktop on external monitor connected to phone with Android, with "full" speed without emulation, then only way is run Linux distro in chroot...
windows is closed software, runs on x86/64 cpu architecture, even if someone really wanted to do this, it's not possible.
ubuntu unity worked because a) open source and b) based on linux, just like android.
no, nokia 7 plus doesnt support hdmi at all. yes, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
Is it possible this is a wind up / trolling.
