Windows 10 and windows 11 - AMD

Hello, I have a laptop with both windows 10 and windows 11 installed (on the same SSD). Is it possible to access the windows 10 files from windows 11 and vice versa?
If it helps, i have:
AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
8GB DDR4 RAM
512 GB SSD
Lenovo Idea ThinkPad 15ADA05

Yes. It's possible to access files from both OS and vice versa.
You have to create Boot Paths of selected OS and add it's entry in Boot manager (boot.ini) file.
To do this in user friendly way, Download EasyBCD online and install the software, after installing you will see the input selected boot entries in main panel in side panel select to create new boot entry, in create section, select windows 10 or 11 based on where do you install software, just select opposite. If you install software on win 10 select windows 11, select it's installed hard-disk partition and select it's custom directory as - C:/Windows/system32/winload.exe
OR
It will be automatically select it's boot location based on HDD partition label (C:, D:, F:,etc) save the configuration, after saving you will see the 2 entries in selected boot entries. After that restart PC, after restarting, try to boot given Windows 10/11 in Windows boot manager prompt. But see that sometimes it happens if you select windows 10/11 then again it will switch on same OS where the software is installed. But if the boot manager found out the correct mentioned file/directory in given HDD partition, it will boot normally in that OS, but if not found, it will show error as "Recent hardware or software might changed, regarding file is missing from system and it's code as 0x0000cbd8, or any."
If you didn't understand, then kindly send me screenshots of given procedure..

Windows Sideshow

When I try to install Windows Sideshow I get the following errors:
1. A problem has occurred with tmarshaller.exe
2. A problem has occurred with shell32.exe
When I click these errors away the installation is finished, but then my device doesn't respond to anything.
After a soft reset I can start Sideshow, but even when the device has a bluetooth connection with my computer it gives the following message:
"Make sure that this device is paired with the PC over Bluetooth and that the PC is turned onn and within range.
If this problem persists, wait a few minutes and try again."
When I remove the application and reinstall it again I get the same problems.
Anyone know what I can do to make it work?
Using Windows Sideshow on Xperia X1
Hi, I can't help with the error codes but I have successfully loaded Windows Sideshow onto my Xperia X1 and can see information from my Desktop PC.
Background info:
PC Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Xperia Operating System: Energy ROM based on WM 6.5.3
The steps I took were to install my USB Bluetooth adapter but install using the Standard Bluetooth stack drivers that are built into Windows 7, create a Pairing between my X1 and PC so i never need to input a code when transferring data.
I then installed the Windowssideshowforwindowsmobile.cab and .NetCF V2.cab to my X1 (Install to Device and not storage card)
then go to control panel on your PC and under Devices you should see your Phone/PDA listed - access the settings option by right clicking and go to the 'Services' tab, select all Bluetooth services by putting a Tick into the box.
I had options for Activsync over bluetooth and windows sideshow.
then on your Phone/PDA start the Sideshow app and select connect.
to add new apps/gadgets to your device go to Control panel/windows sideshow.
Hope this Helps.

ANDROID ON INTEL ARCHITECTURE
About​Project summary
Android on Intel® Architecture (Android-IA) is an open source project based on the*Android Open Source Project*(AOSP). Intel is a contributor to the AOSP and provides code for enabling Android on Intel Architecture platforms. (read more: About A-IA )
this is a thread for installing, exploring, discussing dual boot Win 8-8.1 and Android for XE700T1C, and I have XE700T1C-A01AE which is one of many variants of XE700T1C, in the official site of A-IA only XE700T ( for installation see These instructions )is supported which is a whole different model, the XE700T1C comes with a keyboard dock that transfer it to laptop style, so the installation will be much easier because we don't need USB hub and USB keuboard.
I tried this on my own risk on both Windows 8 and 8.1 preview. so by doing so you accept any risk from this procedure ... be patient and read carefully before you start
Update: XE700T1C-A01US confirmed working ... Thanks to p0k3y...
Update: Also See another great guide by @Adrian DC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57941649&postcount=134[/COLOR]
Before you Start ...
It is highly recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware from Samsung while you still have windows on the device. The installer requires windows to run, and recent versions provide significant improvements.
Full Back up your PC using the Samsung recovery ( if it is pre installed ) or any back up program. And you should create recovery USB drive
HOW TO MAKE RECOVERY USB DRIVE: ------>>> Microsoft Windows 8 Support
What you need ...
1- USB thumb drive 1 Gb at least.
2- Download the latest build for Samsung XE700T installer from A-IA site ( https://01.org/android-ia/downloads )
3- Download "Image Writer for Windows" from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/
4- A space on your PC for Android (more details in the installation)
Preparing the USB thumb drive
1- Back up the content in the USB drive because it will be erased ...
2- Extract Samsung XE700T installer
3- Extract windows image writer tool and run Win32DiskImager.exe
4- Browse for the image you extracted from the Samsung XE700T installer
5- Select your USB drive letter and hit "Write"
6- Done
Installing .....
1- Restart your PC with the USB drive inserted and as soon as it start press "F2" or you can follow the other way which is:
A- swipe from right and enter settings from the charm bar and choose "change PC settings
B- go to general and scroll down to advance start up and press restart now
C- after restart choose "Troubleshoot"
D- then "Advance options"
E- then "UEFI firmware"
F- then "Settings"
2- After going into settings ... go to " Boot " and set " Secure boot to OFF "
3- Then from the first option select Boot device priority and put your USB in the first place.
4- Choose "Save"
5- After restart the installer begin you will get five options. select run interactive installer
6- It will ask you " do you want to reserve windows and dual boot " Type: Y
7- Then " Do you want to resize windows to make more space " Type: Y
8- You will be asked " Enter the size in Mib for Windows " and the installer calculate the minimum and maximum size and it recommends the maximum size ... if you choose that value you will get about 350 MiB internal memory for android and it is too small if you want to install large apps. so the trick is to subtract the amount you need from the maximum value for ex: if you have 116000 Mib maximum then if you type 110000 you will have a 6000 MiB for the internal memory for Android.
9- After that you will be asked " Install GummiBoot bootloader " Type: Y
10- Then set the boot menu timeout ...
11- After the installation is completed remove your USB drive and press any key to restart.
12- Done.
Note:
1- When the PC start you got options, use down key or volume down to navigate. up key or volume up key to select.
2- After the first boot of windows you may be asked to do disc check...
Things you may need in Android:
Google services framework and Google Play store. Download and extract (Zip in the attachment)
And this how to install it
After connecting to Wi-Fi, open the browser and download a file manager with root capability for ex: search for ES File manager, download, install, open the file manager and then root explorer then Mount R/W and set all the options to RW.
copy Google services and play store to: system/app ... then change their permission to rw- r-- r--
image
Exit the file manager and pull the quick setting toggles area from the upper right corner and select power off " this is how to turn off Android "
Turn on the PC again and enter android and open play store and enter your user name and password .... because adding account from setting will not work and force close it...
In play store there are many apps that set to be not compatible but it may work and if I remember for example angry birds space free is working fine after I transfer and install it. so you can try...
Another thing you must try ... Is the Xposed framework by @rovo89 thanks to him for x86 support...
Link to original post ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Xposed installer 2.3.1 in the attachments... And scrennshots in the second post ...
Known Bugs:
1- Auto brightness is working by default even if disabled
2- If you want to use the on screen keyboard you have to disable the hardware keyboard after each reboot.(shortcut found in the notification area)
3- Battery left percentage is ok at start up ... but then it is not updating ...
4- Tell me to add if i forget something
Useful info
keyboard shortcuts:
ESC = Back
Windows home = Android Home
Alt+Tab =switch between opened background applications
Ctrl+P = settings
Ctrl+M = settings/all applications
Ctrl+N = Nova launcher settings (if installed)
Ctrl+S = play store (in Nova launcher if installed)
Ctrl+W = select wallpaper for home screen
Ctrl+Alt+Delete = kill android and restart ( don't do it because you may lose data )
Fn + (F6 or F7 or F8) = mute, volume down , volume up ---- respectively
Fn+ F4 =home ( so pressing windows home button is easier )
In home screen , typing any letter will trigger search
i will add more if i find or remember
Screenshots
With Xposed framework installed...
Added benchmark screenshots... In the attachments
Will add videos as soon as I can...

How many times does it have to be said, it wont work.
AndroidIA is custom tailored for intel core series processors not atom. Clovertrail as in the xe500t is also hardware locked to windows 8 (no idea why).

Sharing files
I just wanted to know if android is installed will it be able to access files such as documents pdf pics etc from windows 8
if not how can we make this work
That would require NTFS drivers installed in Android; I know how to do it in "normal" Linux but have never attempted with Android.
I use the micro SD card slot as a shared storage... So everything there can be accessed from both operating systems...

How can i uninstall this and return back to just windows
This looks very cool and I want to try it on my XE700T. But don't want to screw it up and brick the thing. Has anyone else tried it successfully? Also, will this affect the ability to apply Samsung updates or Windows upgrades later?

Its a regular x86 machine, you can't just brick them. You can seriously bugger up windows, but get a fresh windows install USB (can buy them I think, or you can make one from an install DVD) and you can reinstall windows from scratch, but it will cost you. Or you could be logical and make a recovery USB for your system first which would then allow you to restore anyway, if you own a windows 8 system you should make a recovery USB anyway.
Having android wont effect your windows partition at all. Presuming you dont just go over-writing your windows partition, which would be a dumb idea, and is also why you dont try this guide unless you know what your doing.

Thanks. I just made a recovery USB. Am going to try out the recovery feature and make sure I know what to do before taking the plunge. So I take it you got this installed? Do you like it? Other than the bugs listed on OP, are there any other issues? Does it perform well? I hope so with the all-powerful Core i5...

@p0k3y ... if you have XE700T ... not the XE700T1C then follow these instructions from A-IA site:
Android on Intel ArchitectureSamsung XE700T
The Samsung XE700T Slate is a PC-compatible SandyBridge platform with touch-screen, USB host port, world facing camera, and Wi-Fi. The device also includes orientation and acceleration sensors, but they are non-functional in Android-IA due to the fact that they communicate using a proprietary protocol.
BIOS Update
It is highly recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware from Samsung while you still have windows on the device. The installer requires windows to run, and recent versions provide significant improvements.
Setting the device to boot from USB thumb drive:
1.Grab an USB keyboard and plug it into a device USB port
2.Power on the device
3.After the power led is on, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the BIOS screen appears
4.Go to Boot menu using right/left arrow keys
5.Select Boot Device Priority using the Enter key
6.Go to USB KEY and press F6 until it becomes the top-most list item
7.Exit the Boot menu using the ESC key
8.Go to the Exit menu and select Save Changes and Reset using Enter
9.Power off the device and then power it on again
10.After the power led is on, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the BIOS screen appears (we need to enter the BIOS again to check the Legacy USB Support, sometimes it is disabled, after the first change in the BIOS)
11.Go to the Advanced menu using the right/left arrows
12.If the UEFI Boot Support is Disabled, change it to Enabled
13.Exit BIOS with Save Changes and Reset, as described above
14.Power off the device
15.Unplug the USB keyboard
Samsung XE700T Machine Check Error
Several users ran into a situation (when experimenting with a different kernel) that the machine would just get a "Machine Check Error" when trying to boot, either with or without the USB stick. This occurred after booting from the USB stick both with and without install-to-disk. Recovery procedure:
1.Power-on the machine while holding down the upper volume button on the left-hand side. This goes into the the Windows Boot Manager as in the "Gotcha" section above.
2.Let it go ahead and attempt to boot. This fails, however the failure mode is different because it is now trying to boot off of hard-disk, and gets a "Boot error" in the upper-left corner of the screen, instead of "machine check error".
3.Reset the system and power-on while holding the "windows" button at middle-bottom. This enters BIOS setup screen.
4.Re-enable "legacy USB", if needed.
5.Change boot-order to boot from the USB-stick first, hard-disk second.
6.Reboot from the USB stick.
7.Re-install a working OS to hard-disk.
Samsung XE700T touchscreen anomalies
Occasional users find that the touchscreen is not working with a Samsung device. This can be caused by some unknown compatibility issues with some USB hubs. If you run into this, a workaround is to unplug all USB device including the hub and just plug in the keyboard directly. Similar issues have been seen with oddball USB network adapters.
Samsung XE700T Restore Procedure
As mentioned in the Quick Start, it is important to back up any user data on the device before erasing it and over-writing it with Android. In addition, it is important to retain the original OS installation media, in case you want to restore the originally installed OS. These are referenced in the following restoration procedure.
To restore the Samsung XE700T to its factory default state you will need the following items:
•USB hub with at least three ports available
•USB keyboard
•USB mouse
•Samsung System Recovery Media (shipped with your slate PC)
•Samsung System Software Media (shipped with your slate PC)
•If restoring directly from a DVD ◦USB DVD-ROM Optical Drive (if restoring directly from DVD)
•If restoring from USB thumb drive ◦DVD-ROM Optical Drive on a separate PC (instructions provided for Windows and Ubuntu)
◦USB thumb drive -- 8GB or larger
System Recovery Media Prep -- USB thumb drive (Ubuntu Linux)
1.Install gettext (sudo apt-get install gettext).
2.Install gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted), it's a GUI tool that we'll use to format the thumb drive.
3.Download the latest stable version of ms-sys from http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/#Download
4.Unpack the ms-sys***.tar.gz, cd to it in the terminal, then execute the following commands:
5.make
6.sudo make install
7.Launch gparted, select your thumb drive in the upper right corner.
8.Delete all partitions on the thumb drive, if any are present.
9.Go to Device -> Create Partition Table , in the dialog that appears click "Advanced" and select ms-dos partition table.
10.Go to Partition -> New and select NTFS, select all available drive space.
11.After the formatting is over, go to Partition -> Manage flags and check the "boot" flag.
12.Copy all files and folders from the Samsung recovery DVD to the thumb drive.
13.Open your terminal and create Win 7 MBR by executing the following command(replace /dev/sdX with your thumb drive's path):
14.ms-sys -7 /dev/sdX
System Recovery Media Prep -- USB thumb drive (Windows)
Note: These steps are not necessary if you plan to use a USB optical drive and the System Recovery Media DVD for the restore.
1.If necessary, download and install a program that will rip DVD discs to an ISO file. We use LC ISOCreator, which can be found at http://lc-iso-creator.en.softonic.com/.
2.If necessary, download and install a program that will burn ISO images to the thumb drive. We use the tool at http://www.isotousb.com/.
3.Format your thumb drive with a FAT32 file system.
4.Rip the Samsung Recovery Media DVD into an ISO file with ISOCreator.
5.Burn the Samsung Recovery Media ISO onto the thumb drive with isotousb.
Restore Steps
1.Power down the XE700T.
2.Connect the USB hub to the USB port on the XE700T.
3.Connect the keyboard, mouse, and recovery media (using either an optical drive or a USB thumb drive) to the USB hub.
4.Insert the System Recovery Media DVD into the optical drive if using the optical drive.
5.Hold down the center button (Windows key) and power on the device. Continue holding the Windows button until the BIOS setup screen appears.
6.Hold down the rotate button (right edge of tablet below the power button) until the Advanced section of the BIOS UI is highlighted.
7.Select 'Legacy USB Support' and make sure it is set to 'Enabled.'
8.Hold down the rotate button and use the volume up or volume down buttons until the Boot section of the BIOS UI is highlighted.
9.Select 'Boot Device Priority', making changes so that the recovery media (DVD drive or thumb drive) is the primary boot device.
10.Make sure that the UEFI Boot option in the BIOS is also set to 'Enabled.'
11.Press the Windows key once, and then hold down the rotate button and use the volume up or volume down buttons, until the Exit section of the BIOS UI is highlighted and then select 'Save Changes and Reset.' The XE700T should now boot off of the recovery media and the Windows installer should start.
12.Select your language and go through the setup process, until it asks you for the type of install. Select 'Custom' and then delete all existing partitions.
13.Select the available disk space after deleting all of the partitions as the install location for Windows.
14.At this point, the Windows installation should proceed.
15.(Optional) Install the Samsung System Software packages from DVD-ROM or USB key by connecting your media and running SecSWMgrGuide.exe from the media and following the prompts.
Samsung XE700T Gotcha!
Take care, when powering-up the unit, that you don't accidentally press the Volume-Up button (for example, if grip the tablet with your left hand) at the same time as you press the Power button, or the unit will go into "Samsung Recovery Mode" (that is, to the Windows Boot Manager, which is looking for the Windows installation disc). After that, the unit will never boot Android, instead displaying the words "Boot error" in the upper-left corner of the screen. (You will need to install Android again.)
This problem will probably not be observed in images downloaded and built since 5/24/2012, when a patch fixing this issue was integrated.

as I mentioned in the OP the XE700T is officially supported ... link to the site https://01.org/android-ia/documentation/samsung-xe700t
@bdroid ... use a recovery USB to roll back to windows only...
if you accidently lost recovery ... here is the link for XE700T1C-A01US reocovery image zip ... just unzip it to USB then boot using it and follow the onscreen instructions...
BTW this Recovery zip is not mine ... but I tried it and it is 100% working ...

I dont own a windows tablet no.
From what I have heard though, core i5 systems benchmark damn well for android but have 2 notable issues.
Firstly they don't use full hardware acceleration, I dont know if thats a thing being worked on or what, but for now the sheer CPU power just hammers its way through that.
Secondly its an x86 processor. Android apps use what is called a virtual machine (its called dalvik, alot of people claim its java, but its not) which allows them to run on any hardware. However some apps use what is known as the android NDK, or native code running outside of the virtual machine. Reasons for this are code re-use (android ports of some iOS apps take this approach) or performance. The android NDK is platform specific, with the default settings if you create an app using the NDK, it will throw the little dalvik bit in needed to start the app and then it will compile the native parts for ARMv7 (most android devices). Changing the settings allows for x86, ARMv6 and MIPS but not everyone changes that, especially as it leads to its own problems in either distributing separate x86 and ARMv7 apps (possible) or it will let you throw both x86 and ARM versions in one app but this leads to an app double the size it needs to be. So nice and simple, many developers ignore it entirely and leave it at ARM only.
So you may come across certain apps which don't function on your device. The x86 devices sold to consumers such as the galaxy tab 3, do include an ARM emulator to help avoid some of the above issues, sadly android-ia and androidx86 dont do that.
Have fun. And yeah, test that you can get into your recovery first, always a good idea.

It is not hard to recover your PC...
The long story:
I was running windows 8 then installed 8.1 preview to try it then installed android... Everything was OK... Then I was trying to play unlucky game with the partitions and corrupt them... But I used the recovery USB ... Back to windows 8 then installed android again...

Thanks, I will try it soon. What I meant by "safe" was whether your instruction applies to my model XE700T1C-A01US. I think it does. But let me know if it doesn't.

UPDATE
After follow all step your Surface will be bricked.
Use USB sick with WIN8.0 recovery to restore all partition, and DONE you have WIN8.0
your method is very very complicated mate.. it's actually MUCH easier than that:
1- get a 8gb usb
2- format it as fat32
3- extract the surface RT 8.0 zip into the flash. (get it from the piratebay link)
4- stick the flash disk in the surface.
5- go to: charms bar -> settings -> change pc settings -> last option -> advanced startup
6- select the USB then follow the rest of the steps here: https://thepiratebay.mn/torrent/9196163/Surface_RT_Downgrade_Image_8.0_Direct_from_Microsoft
Attach the USB recovery drive to Surface.
Hold the volume-down (-) rocker.
Press and release the power button.
When the Surface logo appears, release the volume rocker.
Choose your language options.
Choose your keyboard layout.
From the BitLocker screen, tap or click Skip This Drive.
The keyboard might appear so tap the non-text area of the screen to dismiss it so you can see the Skip This Drive link.
Tap or click Troubleshoot.
Tap or click Reset your PC.
Tap or click Next.
This is actually a button that says “Windows 8.1 Preview”. This kinda threw me. Select this button, it will give you Windows 8.0. You will have to wait a bit for the next screen to appear.
Surface Pro only: Tap or click No, keep the existing partitions.
I saw this on my Surface RT. I selected “No” like this says.
Tap or click Just remove my files.
When Surface displays All ready to go, tap or click Reset."

you'll get windows 8.0 very easily.

Remix OS on MAC x86-64 System

Remix OS (android for x86) are now getting more and more popular, thus I think there will be people with MAC will want to install / test Remix thru their machine.
*** Below are my Scenario of Testing
As I'm using MAC Mini (Late 2012) with i5 (2.5GHz) and 8GB RAM.
Below are my Configuration on Mac Mini 500GB Hdd.
Partition 1 : 400 (MAC OSX Partition)
Partition 2 : 60GB (FAT32) - Also Tested for REMIX OS 3 testing
Partition 3 : 32GB (for Remix) - Formatted with Fat32, exFAT, NTFS, ext4...
-> Download the ISO and extract the ISO, copy all the content from the ISO to the drive partitioned / format for UEFI.
-> To boot to UEFI Mode shutdown / restart your Mac and make sure pressing the "option key"... for some keyboard the option key displayed as "alt key".
-> "Option Key / alt key" pressed until chime sound can be heard, then the Boot Option displaying all Partition including UEFI.
-> Once selected the UEFI partition to Boot, at the option menu select "Resident Mode".
-> If the above method make yourself in Remix OS boot Logo for more then 5 minute, restart back but until the Option Menu Appear, press 'e'
-> Modify the command line, change the last option to CREATE_DATA_IMAGE=1
-> Then use ctrl + x or F10 key, this should work.
-> For Permanent Modification Change CREATE_DATA_IMAGE=1 in grub.cfg, from your MAC OS X.
Based on my testing on my Mac Mini on Partition 3 :-
## Only Fat32 & exFAT can be detected as UEFI drive from Mac Mini boot options, only FAT32 fully success boot the REMIX 3.
- Problem of this are FAT32 can only generated max 4GB data.img on 32GB fat32 partition.
- exFAT won't boot the selection menu " Guess / Resident " just able to boot to minimal GRUB Command...
- NTFS and ext4 won't even detect on my MAC Mini as UEFI Drive upon Boot option selection.
p/s : anyone know if there are indeed another method that can either make exFAT work for REMIX OS or route the data.img location
to another partiton?.

Windows 10 on a Windows 8Rt tablet

i want to install windows 10 iot and I have a Windows RT tablet. I successfully performed downgrade from 8.1 to 8.0. The former owner when sat on Windows 8.1 RT said that he was not updated. That's nice. After creating the second user, I started trying to perform secureboot debug. In the account policy I created another user and assigned to him all the roles, including administrator, User Replicator, etc. After that I managed to run the script and on a black background to press the treasured inscription "Accept and install". After the download, I ran the command that was in the Readme file from the Secureboot folder. After that I started to prepare a flash drive. Build ffu file Windows 10 IoT as a person from the video ( https://youtu.be/ivwuxBR96oE ) I mounted through the command DISM /mount-ffu. After that I added the files efi to download, but unfortunately further I did not succeed in doing anything. By the way I install a jailbreak. When you try to boot from a prepared SD card, it ignores it. All the methods are tried. What could be wrong? i may to record video

There is no advantage to running W10IOT on your surface. Why do you want to? You'll get more use out of jailbroken windows RT
