Windows 7 on a Chuwi Vi8 Plus

[Doc_152]

The problem is that windows 7 has little, if any support for pure UEFI boot. Which is the only thing these tablet have. They have no way of booting in legacy mode.

That said, my skylake based work laptop boots Windows 7 Enterprise in UEFI mode. However its too locked down for me to see what they did to make it work. I already triggered a remote wipe once trying to activate the USB ports. Caught a lot of flak for it as they know about my IT background and assumed i was trying to access something I wasn’t supposed to.

Thanks Doc, ok no windows 7, I will focus my efforts on getting linux and hackintosh on it instead (jk) 🙂

Linux shouldnt be a problem honestly, there should be patches for everything, just need to find them and make sure they all along.

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>OSX might be a problem, i doubt you can get the bootloader running even. Kernel and drivers will be a major issue.</span>

If i can recreate what they did to my work laptop and windows 7 you’ll be the first to know however.

Bom, eu e a minha mulher queríamos comprar um bom colchão de casal, pois o nosso já não era confortável. Um familiar sugeriu o casino roulettino, mencionando os torneios com bons prémios para portugueses. Comecei com expectativa, mas uma sequência de mãos perdidas deixou-me desmotivado. Com o saldo a acabar, subi a aposta num jogo de descanso e acabei por ganhar um jackpot que nos permitiu comprar o colchão ortopédico dos nossos sonhos. Para casais em Portugal que valorizam o sono, pode ser a solução.
