No, the K1 is not running Windows 8 (in fact, it must be Windows RT, which is specially designed to run on ARM architecture processors).  The problem is that you must have a version of Win RT made just for the K1, with all the appropriate device drivers.  Those who are usually provided by the manufacturer of the device, and in the case of the K1, there is no such package.

Linux may be more possible, especially since you actually use Linux on it right now (in fact, a Linux kernel, with the top Android ecosystem).  I don't know how well they work, but there are some sources out there for versions of Linux running on Android devices.  Of course, you're pretty much on your own.  For example, see http://linuxonandroid.org

  • Lenovo Ideapad z565 - how to check and activate the virtual technology (VT) in BIOS

    I tried to use virtualization on my Lenovo Ideapad z565 laptop. The laptop is running only Windows 7 Home premium 64 OEM installed. It's an AMD processor dual core. I tried to get some VMWare images into VMWare workstation running on my laptop. Images VMWare has always seem to crash when you try to start them. I read on various forums that this is probably due to virtualization (VT) 'No' enabled in the BIOS. It's supposed to be set in the "Advanced" section of the BIOS. The problem is that when I check my BIOS (F2), the option of virtualization technology (VT) is not in my BIOS. I have a very limited set of BIOS options. I read that the manufacturers of these machines 'block' the user to access advanced options in the BIOS (for reasons unknown to me). In addition, there is a utility distributed by Microsoft, called the "Hardware Virtualization Detection Tool support" that you can download and run on your computer to check if the hardware support for virtualization (VT) is enabled on your computer. I ran this and it is said that VT 'is' activated on my machine. However, I have seen other users, this tool is known to report false positives... which means it reports that VT is enabled, even if it is not. I have also read that these laptops Lenovo, this hardware virtualization is "off"by default. So I think that's my problem. Material to virtualization is disabled in my BIOS, and I have no way to access to 'permit' or turn it on. Someone out there has any experience with this problem, and how did you work around it? Is there a utility that will allow me to enable hardware virtualization in my BIOS? If so, can you provide me with detailed steps to do this? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    Hello. I was wondering how I can fix my U260 LCD series that has been damaged.

    I contact several private computer repair stores, but I've heard say that if you contact the company lenovo for repair, then they will send you a box that you need to and send again. I don't know if that's true, but I searched through a large number of paintings and still haven't found where I could register for the help. (but I think I found the 'repair status of deposit")

    My laptop is still under warranty (was less than a year). Do I have to make a reservation via web specific online or make a phone call?
