With that out of the way, here's how to install Windows on Android tablets with Change My Software.
Note: Since you aren't actually buying a copy of Windows for this transfer, at best this is a gray area experiment. In other words, proceed with caution.
Download and install Change My Software
First, you first must install the Change My Software application on your Windows-based PC. There are several versions of the app, each for a different version of the OS (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10). You can download all of the versions in one ZIP file at the link below.
Steps to install Windows on Android
After you install Change My Software on your PC, here are the steps you will need to install Windows on your Android tablet with this tool.
- Make sure your Windows PC has a high-speed internet connection.
- Connect your Android tablet to your Windows PC, via a USB cable
- Open the version of the Change My Software tool you want to use.
- Select the Android option in Change My Software, followed by your desired language
- The Change My Software app should then start downloading the required drivers from your Windows PC to your Android tablet.
- Once that's done, click 'Install' to begin the process. Obviously, you should keep your tablet connected to your Windows PC for this entire time. If you want to dual boot between Windows and Android on your tablet when the process is finished, you should not check the 'Remove Android' box in the Change My Software app.
- Once Windows has been installed on your Android device, it should either boot directly to the Windows OS, or to the 'Choose and operating system' screen if you decided to make the tablet into a dual boot device. After that, your version of Windows should then begin its own normal setup process.
