Question

How do I connect my PC to a phone?

Community Answer

Your PC must have a 2.0 USB input or higher, then use the charger that you always use, and make sure it's in good condition. Plug the USB into the computer, the other end into the phone, and find the phone in the files of your PC via Windows Explorer or File Manager.

Question

How can I convert my Android tablet to a Windows system without a PC?

Community Answer

From my experience you can't, but you can install Linux without a PC. The only downside to have Linux is you can't open .exe files.

Question

How do I escape a bootloop on my tablet?

Community Answer

The issue happens from bad USB connections or if the tablet/phone was unplugged, but if you can access the recovery you can do a factory reset. If you don't know how, Google your model and "factory reset" next to it, or flash the stock rom by Googling your model and "stock rom".

Question

Is Windows 8 emulating or installed on my Android tablet?

Community Answer

In this installation, it is not being emulated nor has it been installed - it is running in a virtual environment, or a virtual machine. To replace your version of Android with Windows XP/7/8.1/10, it is recommended you use Change My Software.

Question

What do I do if the Windows 8 file doesn't show up on my Android tablet?

Community Answer

Make sure you are using x86 (32 bit) and not x64 (64 bit) ISO file. 64 bit ISO will not show up. Only 32 bit ISO when copied in Limbo folder, will show up in options. Image should only be ISO format, not in NRG or any other format.
