Android on your PC: Remix OS

[Red Storm]

Im in the same boat. My GF just picked up an iPad Pro (she got it for free from work) and I was expecting it would be better than the Surface Pro but I realize now they have almost no apps designed to really work with the pencil. That's one place where the MS store is ahead of others so I think the Surface Phone actually makes sense, take advantage of its strengths.

I just switched from a Lumia 830 to my first Android phone, a Huawei Mediapad X2, the size looks silly at first but once you use a large phone its hard to go back and hard to see a reason for a small tablet....maybe that's why the Surface Mini went away....

You got the X2? How is it? I really wanted to get one but am anxious to order one without seeing some user reviews.

So far so good. I will try and make a video review soon. It has lots of Huawei Apps that can't be uninstalled but getting Google on it is easy enough

Power off the SP3, hold Volume + and power it up. You'll get a configuration menu, disable Secure Boot and set your boot order to "Network>USB>SSD". When you reboot your screen will be red, but it should boot off the USB drive.

I tried it on my Surface 3 (non pro) and it didn't work - just a blank screen.

yeah, i tried all those steps you mentioned. still no go on this sp3 pro. i tried on a new Dell laptop, and didnt work as well.

I had this same issue. Restart your PC while holding Shift. Then go into Advanced Options something or other & pic UEFI Settings.

Took me awhile to figure out.

Also, try not to disable secure boot, just bump the USB to the top of the boot order.

Does it have OpenGL support?

I use an emulator if i want to use android on my pc. Installing it as a daily OS however is unnecessary.
