if you can get win 8.1 for $30 bucks do it. I loved it when I got win7 pro and office pro for like $60 total back in 08 -09 thru academic pricing.

Get it and you will be fine (if you cant retrieve your old key from bios).  I just installed 8.1 to my new air ii and also did the upgrade to win 10.

My plan was to install win7 home because I had one laying around unused, then do the upgrade to win 10.

I didn’t realise that 64bit didn’t work.  So then I tried to buy a key online….didn’t work…..so then I just went out and bought a retail copy.

I only bought the android version because I was going to save money but now I have spent $130 extra for an OS I didn’t think I was going to have to buy.

I could of actually got it cheaper if I ordered from one of the authorized resellers and waited a few weeks for it.

Not to mention I didn’t realize the x98 pro came out, so I could of just bought one of those win windows already.

I had to go through such a hassle to flash my air ii (HG5N), if I could do over I would of just spent the extra $50 and got a dual boot version…..lol I would have saved money hahaha LOL

Never Mind….. I got it to work.

in case anyone with a HG5N is having issues as well….I started with the instructions here:

However, trying to use the .BAT in the bios.rar did not work. The CMD would not find any files. I could make out the options screen, but if you tried entering a number (to flash, root, etc) it would not work.

What I did in the end was flash the ORIG 4.4.4 2.0 rom with stock UpdateIFWI (installing the apk didn’t seem to work it would just sit at upgrading).

I then flashed the bios with the bios file located in the X98-Air II-WIN8 bios.rar ….. which FINALLY WORKED!!

 

now I just need to install windows
