Hello everyone
I have a convertible PC tablet, Asus FT600T, running Windows 8.1 x 32, and I would like to install version 10, making sure not to mess it up. Is it possible, and if so, how should I go about it?
Additionally, every time I try to install a software, even a simple 32-bit one, I get a message saying: "this program cannot be installed on this PC". How can I make this possible?
Thank you in advance, see you soon
Laurent

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 64.0

    Hello,

    On a device of this type, there used to be a version of Windows called RT. It’s a stripped-down version that only allows you to uninstall software through the Windows Store. You can't run a standard installation .exe.

    You could download a Windows 10 ISO image and put it on a USB drive. But is your PC capable of booting from a USB?

    Then there’s the issue of the license. It’s said that you can still install W10 for free, but I personally have never tried.

    Finally, what is the storage size on your PC? I saw that this model should have a 32GB card. That’s very small.

    Is it reasonable to try to install W10 on this limited device? Not sure.

    And it could fail because the processor is not necessarily compatible with a standard version of Windows (non-RT)

    Best regards
