Windows 10: surface RT windows 8.1 model 1516 Needs Win 10

Happy Christmas .

I bought a surface RT windows 8.1 model 1516 complete with the backlit keyboard second hand and want to clean install windows 10 . The device works as it's supposed to but I hate the OS and the fact I cant get 3rd party apps such as comodo ice or fiefox , VLC ,MPC .winrar etc etc .

I suppose there is only one question : Can it be done ?

ive created a win 10 USB and performed cold boot holding the power+ volume down ,the surface logo appears then thats it , nothing happens .

Thanks

:)

Hi 1 min 55 sec,

Thanks for posting!

Have you tried transferring Video from Win 7 pro over to the Surface RT? If not please do so and check, if that will play.

Kind Regards,

Interesting,….

The entry level iPad is also ~$500 USD however, that is the 16GB WiFI only model. In this case the Surface Windows RT model at that price is 32GB. There are other spec differences though,…

I’m not really interested in Windows RT though,…or perhaps I should say I prefer Windows 8 Pro.

That depends on how big is Windows RT + Office(pre-installed). Certainly much bigger than iOS or Android.
