[General Questions and Answers] Rudek2k06:
Hello XDA Community,

I have an Asus TX201LAF tablet that currently runs Android 4.4.2. I'm looking to install Windows on this device, but I'm facing some challenges. The tablet has an Intel Atom Z2560 CPU. I've done some research and gathered various resources, but I need precise guidance on how to achieve this. I Asked chatGPT how to do it, but I'm unsure how to execute some parts, especially using TWRP for this purpose.

Here is what ChatGPT have told me:

"If your Asus TX201LAF tablet doesn't have a conventional BIOS/UEFI interface accessible via typical keys like F2 or Del, and you have TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) installed, you can still attempt to install Windows using TWRP. Here's how to proceed:

Prerequisites​

Windows Installation Media: You need a Windows ISO file.

USB OTG Adapter: This allows you to connect USB devices to your tablet.

Bootable USB Drive: Create a bootable USB drive using tools like Rufus.

Device Drivers: Download necessary drivers for Windows from the ASUS support site.

Intel Platform Flash Tool: Download from Intel's website.

Step 1: Create a Bootable USB Drive​

Create Bootable USB:

Use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive from the Windows ISO.

Ensure that the partition scheme is set to MBR and the target system is BIOS (or UEFI-CSM).

Step 2: Boot into TWRP​

Enter TWRP:

Turn off your device.

Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously to enter TWRP recovery mode.

Step 3: Prepare the Device​

Backup Data:

In TWRP, go to Backup and create a backup of your current system to avoid data loss.

Wipe Partitions:

Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and select Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, and Cache. Swipe to confirm the wipe.

Step 4: Flashing Windows via TWRP (Theoretically)​

Installing Windows directly through TWRP is unconventional and not typically supported. However, you can attempt the following workaround using a Linux live USB to manage the installation.

Linux Live USB:

Create a bootable Linux USB using a tool like Rufus and a Linux distribution ISO (e.g., Ubuntu).

Boot Linux from TWRP:

Connect the Linux USB drive to your tablet using a USB OTG adapter.

In TWRP, go to Mount and ensure the USB storage is mounted.

Access a terminal in TWRP (Advanced > Terminal) and attempt to find the USB drive (usually /dev/sda1).

Use dd command to write the Linux ISO to the internal storage if needed.

Install Windows from Linux:

Boot into the live Linux environment.

Use the Linux environment to manage partitions (using GParted or similar).

Copy Windows ISO contents to an internal partition and use a boot manager like GRUB to boot the Windows installer.

Step 5: Install Windows from the USB Drive​

Boot Windows Installer:

Reboot the tablet into the Linux live environment.

Use GRUB to boot the Windows installer from the USB drive.

Follow Windows Installation Steps:

Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows. You might need to delete existing partitions to create space for the Windows installation.

Ensure you choose the correct partitions and format them appropriately.

Driver Installation:

Once Windows is installed, boot into Windows and install the necessary drivers downloaded from the ASUS support site"

Request:

Can anyone provide detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to install Windows on my Asus TX201LAF using TWRP? Specifics on how to handle the bootloader, partitioning, and any necessary tweaks or additional tools would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
