Now the X86 architecture can develop rich applications, and tablets using the architecture also make the experience more diverse. But at present this kind of flat plate pre-installed is the Win7 system, because the system to touch the support is not good makes more time the user will carry the keyboard base, thus lets it lose the touch control the charm.
Sitting on the "Surface" X86 plate-mounted WIN8 system process
Now that the Windows system fully supports a tablet with a built-in X86 architecture processor, the tablet can theoretically be upgraded to the above system. This system installs chooses the WIN8 official version to carry on the experience, in the first time feels the Win8 tablet the charm. Before installing, briefly describe the requirements for installation.
System Requirements for WIN8:
Win8 works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista andwindows 7 (Win8 's system requirements are the same as Win7)
1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor (CPU above 1G frequency)
1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) (minimum required 1G memory, recommended 2G above)
GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or GB (64-bit) (System disk above 16G)
DirectX 9 Graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver (video card with Direct 9 above)
Taking advantage of touches input requires a screen that supports multi-touch (if you want to use touch function to support the touchscreen display)
Introduction to Installation Equipment hardware
On the hardware configuration, this installation of the Windows 8 system of the Tablet PC using the Intel N2600 dual-core processor, the frequency of 1.6GHz, and Fusion GMA3600 integrated graphics. Built-in 2GB capacity of memory, with 32GB SSD solid State Drive. Because the hard disk is too small to allow dual systems to be installed, the entire process will be installed with a new installation.
Make WIN8 installation disk
Pre-installed tablets are not equipped with a common USB a-type interface (but the mini USB), so the common U disk is not connected to it, but has a TF card slot, tested can be activated by the TF card, so we burn the Windows 8 installation disk to the TF.
First we need to download and install the UltraISO software, through which the "Write hard disk" feature, the WIN8 image to the TF card.
Load the downloaded CD image into the UltraISO software and insert the card reader to begin preparing to write to the hard drive image. It should be noted that this hard disk image has about 2.8GB, so the minimum need for a 4G TF card. Another write image will format the TF card, so if there is something in the TF card, do it in advance.
