welcome to microsoft's world of control, you will probably find they locked the EFI bootloader. -

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
Of course you can't.
Windows 7 does not support ARM.

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
RT is not 8, it just looked like 8 but only ran Metro apps, this is where the confusion arose. There is no Windows 7 for ARM just as there is no Windows 8 for it.
There is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2092158 this will allow you to run unsigned apps on your rt but only those compiled for ARM.Last edited by diif; 09-15-2015, 06:40 PM.Comment

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
You are technically right, though my answer was focused on the question… towards look and feel.
On this matter you can have a tweaked win7 look running on that tablet.
And afaik WinRT is essentially an edition of Win8 built for the 32-bit ARM(v7) architecture.

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
The OP was trying to install another OS, which isn't possible.
WinRT only supports software for Arm and it looks like Windows 8 but doesn't have the functionality. Pre installed Arm based versions of the Office suite were it's only selling point IIRC. There were lots of grumbles and returns as the buyers were expecting to use the software and hardware they currently owned and none of it did. It's called 8 but doesn't share any of the code of the full version, however some apps could be run on both versions, i guess that makes it a version? However it is even crapper than the full version with half the functionality and more of the restriction.
They weren't as popular as Microsoft hoped http://www.zdnet.com/article/microso...d-this-happen/Last edited by diif; 09-15-2015, 07:51 PM.Comment

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
Yup, RT is very much dead, strange in a way since Windows 10 exists for ARM, but only for phones other small screen devices (I.e. a spinoff from Windows Phone)
Don't ask my why, I have way too little interest in both Windows RT and Windows Phone / Windows Mobile.
There was a small update released for RT, backporting the start menu of Windows 10 to it.
Strange decision IMO as the Windows 8 start menu only really works on tablets to begin with, so why those get the start menu backported but not Windows 8 for desktops is just a strange decision IMO!"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
I think we're all used to M$ failures and disappointments
Imo since Intel quickly closed the battery efficiency gap with its lightweight Atom processors when compared to ARM, and the drawbacks with Win RT were huge,
these lead to no device maker being interested in Win RT other than M$ itself.
And it's something they can not live with.
Now why Win10 (descendant) on smart phones and not on ARM tablets?
Imo M$ was forced to go back to its place:
Windows phone in ARM based devices with smaller screens, while Win10 in larger screens with x86-based processors.
Who cares!!! ... expect for consumers who bought their products, ups!Comment

Re: how to install win7 in surface rt tab
I just can't understand how Microsoft did not foresee that low power x86 chips were coming.
I mean it's not like the Intel Atom chip is a very new idea!
I have a Intel D945GCLF ITX board right on my desk that does duty as my firewall, I've had it for over 7 years now and its Atom 230 CPU has a TDP of just 4 watts!
Even calling something that only runs code compiled for the ARM architecture Windows is not a very good idea right off the bat, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile and Windows CE never had this problem, you can kind of understand from their names that they are for special equipment.
But Windows RT was sold with what looked like laptops for the average Joe, just he could not install any of his Windows programs on it.
Wonderful considering that same "Microsoft Surface Tablet" could probably have done just as good with a well selected low power x86 processor instead of the ARM it came with."The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

i also have a "littlefalls" board - the cpu may be impressive, but you can say that about the other main chip on the board.

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Surface Laptop 3, and I could really use some help. I've tried everything I can think of, but my laptop just won't detect any new SSDs I install. Here's a rundown of the situation:
Problem:- My Surface Laptop 3 isn't detecting any new SSDs, including a Sabrent Rocket 2230 256GB NVMe SSD and a Dogfish 256GB M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 SSD.
- Both SSDs work fine in other laptops, so I know they are functional.
- The laptop does detect a Forsee 64GB SSD from my Steam Deck, and I can successfully install Windows on it.

Hello everyone,
I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.
Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.
Let's begin:
Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the... -
I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.
When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.
After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:
Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during... -
Hi All,
Title says it all. We've got two Surface Book 3 model 1900 that require battery replacements for both the screen and the keyboard base. The battery that came out of those tablets, which definitely are the originals, isG3HTA044H.
Though when I search for that model number every single listing has that listed as a surface book 1/2 tablet battery. And their batteries look physically different, they have two stacked vertically holes on both side of the battery pinout which mine does not have. Ifixit also states the surface book 3 uses a different battery than the...01-22-2024, 05:39 PM -
Problem
This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....
