I like the way you explained every step of the process and kept everything said within the subject of the video. Outstanding job and definitely deserved a thumb up! I didn’t know they had Android x86 available. I just may try it.
If anyone is having an issue trying to install to your target hard drive, you should probably edit your partition first. For your primary partition, create a 100 MB for GRUB to automatically install to and make sure the boot flag is set for it. For the rest of your hard drive, just create a logical partition. I fought with this for hours because I had the luxury of not being able to boot from a USB drive and no burnable discs. =)

Got this going on my HP all in one - works awesome, had some trouble on the live CD read without installation with the system UI stopping repeatedly. Took a gamble and installed it and its perfect.

Hello, I preface my comment with some history. I have 25 years in I.T. (1995, M.C.S.E, age 38). I am versed in multi-discioplines...from diagnostic troubleshooting and repair of hardware and software...to diaster and data recovery. Those are my credentials. With that said! I can say emphactically and without hestiation state...that when it comes to computer instructions. Your instruction was absolutely flawless, focued, succinct and concise. I truly appreciate that you didn't go off on a peripheral tangant or include any extraneous non-important info. Best instruction video I have seen in many years, and I have been on UA-cam since shortly after (March 2005) UA-cam going "live online" in February of 2005. Thank You. I'll be looking forward to checking with your channel first on topics I'm unfamiliar with.
Great video, really easy to follow... to the extent that I actually grabbed an old 8gb USB stick sat on the table and my old Asus tablet/laptop thing that's been sat dormant for 2 years after failing to revert to windows 7 successfully. 20 minutes later I'm now using Android x86 and said laptop to write this very comment! THANK YOU!
@@donaldbaird7849 But most builds were for ARM and then many apps were optimized for ARM and would crash when trying to run them on an x86 machine. Someone still had to compile it to x86 and then only with the release of Intel's libhoudini and its integration into Android-x86 did the operating system become usable since it can run apps optimized for ARM without crashing.
THANKS, I just did this to an old Lenovo 310 I was going to junk because it wasn't working yet again. Now it's an Android laptop for my younger kids for elementary school. Which really helps us out with all the Coronavirus stay home restrictions for school.
Eureka!! it is working!!👍👌👌✌, you used plan spoken English... I watched another tutorial for days that took me way down the Wrong-Road, this tutorial got me going in less than an hour
Great instructions. Followed them to the letter to setup Android x86 to a similar HP desktop PC. Did the Live CD install first, incurred no errors so proceeded to install directly to the hard disk. Everything went smoothly. One issue though. This PC is connected via an Ethernet Cable. Under NETWORK & INTERNET, upon adding my internet provider's SSID and password, Androic-x86 created a "WIFI" network icon called "VirtWiFi". Every time I reboot my "Android PC", this "VirtWiFi" is what it connects to. The issue is that the connection gets dropped after about 30 mins, and the only way to get re-connected is to "REBOOT". When it drops the connection, going to Settings > Network & Internet is fruitless because "VirtWiFi" is not visible and clicking on the search for a Network button yields absolutely nothing, the clock just spins. At the 8:50 mark of your video you stated your Ethernet was fast, so it must work. Any ideas what my issue is? Any help would be greatly appreciated .were

@@Neo-zj3cr So does every PC... or laptop. They are all built to support the same standards with very few exceptions. ...like Wi-Fi 6 or CDMA or GSM... Since Android runs on all of those standards, there should be virtually no hardware problems to sort out. So hardware cannot be the reason.
@@Konstantynopolitaneczka Who says Google phones have an advantage? Lets be honest here, or at least real. Android was designed specically to make advertising and the collection and tracking of customers and their data as easy as possible. ...many would say "spying", but ill go easy. Either way, i wouldnt call that an advantage...well not for the customer anyway. But the thing you did nail? Its about money. Its always about money. There's absolutely nothing else that it could possibly be about because corporations BY LAW must make money their 1st priority.
I find it's the device manufactures choice. Motorola didn't release Oreo on their Moto G5(+) for six months after its G6 was released. They use it as a means to encourage(force) people to upgrade even though their hardware isn't out of date/
A GNU/Linux distro would probably be better, but it depends on what software you use. I have a Thinkpad X201t coming in soon that I might just load Android x86 on just for the novelty of it. Then again, it has a touchscreen so it's practically built for something like Android.
hi eta, this was really helpful, but when running just off of the USB, my WiFi adapter wasn't turning on. Is that a problem or does it need to be installed on the hard drive to work. Thanks!

How about drivers for graphic n sound? (If got onboard graphic card or PCI ) Is it automatically functioning? Or drivers needed? If so, how to install drivers for both. TQ
Android on PC does not require any driver installations. Your hardware either works with it out of the box or it doesn't. Everything works on my Lenovo laptop such as Wi-Fi but I have not tested Bluetooth.
EHI super useful video, now I finally have an os to use on my budget laptop! i have a problem tho, when I boot it always start with something like what you see at 6:30 and asks me if i want to go live or open the full os which is always installed, do you know how to boot straight into android?
you can't do Windows 10 because Windows 10 is more powerful than Android and it won't work. That way you can do older or newer but you can't do newer on olderhardware is not powerful enough on Android to run Windows but it is on Windows to run Android since Windows is more powerful than Android not the other way around
The reason you can't do this in most cases is because windows is compiled for the x86 CPUs found in PC's. The CPUs in phone and tablets are ARM CPUs in most cases.
@@UGotHookah Yes you can. I have an iRulu WalknBook tablet that came pre-installed with Windows 10. Bought it new 2 yrs ago for $99. I'm actually thinking of putting Android on it instead.
@@notmycircus1240 yeah why not do if you can do it dual boot Windows 10 and Android because then you got the best of both worlds you can play the latest and greatest maybe well either way you can play games and you can play everything from Android
@@UGotHookah explain how core 2 duos at like 1.7ghz run windows 10. I mean most androids nowadays has quqdcore 2ghz at max. And the core 2 duos run off of 10 year old integrated INTEL graphics with 32 shades and 200mhz. I mean most androids nowadays have 128 shades and 850mhz
Most Xbox compatible game controllers work out of the box on Android. Try the controller with your Android phone or tablet. If it works with that, it will also work with Android-x86. But not all apps allow you to use them.
First! I would like to start by saying that you are doing an incredible job and thank you your time and dedication. I am a noob. Worse than. If I paid you $$ and sent you the specs of my computer can you do a tutorial for me?
Would this work on Chromeboxes? (like your HP one in the older video with Remix OS?) I’m just curious as to if the HDMI would carry sound in this version?
A great alternative - if you don't have an extra PC around (and you have affiliate resources on a current PC/laptop) is to run a virtual instance of an Android - I've used BlueStacks in the past. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Ordinary GP It is true though. Most Desktop CPUs run at 2.4+ GHz. That is based on desktops from like 2005. A phone isn't running at that clockspeed consistently without throttling. Don't even getting started with RAM...
Ordinary GP A core to quad can run up to 2.80 GHz stock. Not all andriod phones have the latest Qualcomm chip. When you run something designed to run on a phone using native Linux, it's obviously going to be snappier than most phones.
Ordinary GP That's not even the point of doing this. The point of doing this is expirementing while putting an old PC to work. A lot of andriod tablets actaully do use x86 chips. If there wasn't, than Andriod would be just like iOS: Being impossible to port to PC hardware without emulation. The only reason why x86 isn't popular with andriod as it saps power. But that doesn't matter in a DESKTOP PC when the CPU has all the cooling and power it needs. X86 is the more powerful option anyways. While SoC arm CPUs are getting more powerful, there's only so much you can do with passive cooling, thin casing, and THD the fraction of what a Desktop has.
nice. I'm not too fond of Windows 10, especially with all the issues. im using windows 7, but am undecided between changing my pc either to linux or Android. (didnt think it was possible)

@@MicahDaRhuler it's something called a joke
@@MicahDaRhuler nah bro its alright. i already knew android was possible on ios before ya told me. the jokes for people who didnt know
And still no Android port for any Lumia
Android on Androin is already here )))))
First time i ever watched this kinda geeky techie video till end..great work dude!👌👍
I'm over two years late to the video, but thank you very much for a very clear tutorial. Worked great on a Sandy Bridge i3.
hey mate how is the performance ..i have a 3rd gen i5 3427u
@@jerichodamirez2735 Performance is fine. Android runs well on just about anything. Even that 3427u still has 2 cores with hyperthreading. I think it will run great for you.
Wow awesome. Could you please do me a favour? Could you check in the playstore if Kinemaster is compatible with this install? I use it for work and considering buying a chromebook but this would be much easier. Thanks in advance.
@@ogbenchmarks7127 I tried installing it but my speaker is not working.the native bridge is not working cant install any app without crashing
Well explained... I wish all tutorial videos to be like this... Great work... Keep it up
This is literally the same machine im typing this comment on
I have honestly never seen anyone use this kind of computer outside of my school before they upgraded their computers back in like, 2014
@@damian9303 I use a CQ 6000 Pro SFF at work. Since 2010 :-). I even upgraded it to Win10 x86, still going. I recently found a same one in a WEE trash, once I fix the PSU and mobo I'll definitely put Android X86.
They were very popular and were actually great machines back in their days. Almost all schools had these machine with Windows XP Pro and they ran really good.
I installed dual boot just like you said and now my laptop is bricked! It's all your fault ETA Prime!!!
haha, just kidding man. Tutorial worked great and my son has his own mini android laptop.
How can you brick your pc? Your hard drive and boot loader will only be f up
Your voice is so nice, and easy to listen/follow with
Just found this . I got plenty of old modos and cpus. I think I'm going to have some fun with this.
Nice... but why is it so simple to install the latest Android version on PC, and nearly impossible on a cell phone? ....Counter intuitive. Right?
i guess because every cell phone model have different hardware.
@@Neo-zj3cr So does every PC... or laptop. They are all built to support the same standards with very few exceptions. ...like Wi-Fi 6 or CDMA or GSM...
Since Android runs on all of those standards, there should be virtually no hardware problems to sort out. So hardware cannot be the reason.
The reason is "Money". Google phones would not have such an advantage if you could upload pure Android for everyone else
@@Konstantynopolitaneczka
Who says Google phones have an advantage?
Lets be honest here, or at least real. Android was designed specically to make advertising and the collection and tracking of customers and their data as easy as possible. ...many would say "spying", but ill go easy.
Either way, i wouldnt call that an advantage...well not for the customer anyway.
But the thing you did nail?
Its about money.
Its always about money. There's absolutely nothing else that it could possibly be about because corporations BY LAW must make money their 1st priority.
I find it's the device manufactures choice. Motorola didn't release Oreo on their Moto G5(+) for six months after its G6 was released. They use it as a means to encourage(force) people to upgrade even though their hardware isn't out of date/
Good, Professionally presented video. I subscribed to your channel.
You never did
Thanks for the great tutorial. Really helpful!
This is super awesome and cool, even last android phone is much slower than my android PC.
Thanks from this! I got 4 old laptops to breathe again!
Hahaha
A GNU/Linux distro would probably be better, but it depends on what software you use. I have a Thinkpad X201t coming in soon that I might just load Android x86 on just for the novelty of it. Then again, it has a touchscreen so it's practically built for something like Android.
hi eta, this was really helpful, but when running just off of the USB, my WiFi adapter wasn't turning on. Is that a problem or does it need to be installed on the hard drive to work. Thanks!
Hi YeeBop, I'm just trying this now and having the same issue when testing from the USB. How did you get on with this? Did you manage to get wifi to stay on after installing or did you not go ahead?
@@theburnerking i never got to figure it out, sorry
@@yeebop370 no worries, cheers for getting back.
@@theburnerking i have same issue but i am running the android system from the USB flash didn't install it yet, WiFi adapter not recognised by the the system.
Same problem here. In the video it looked his just "worked" and saw all available connections. I'm using same adapter as him and I get nothing
Edit:. It works with a wired connection though
Nice video! Great to know there are infinity options to watch netflix and play Asphalt 8. LOL
thanks you so much , idk why it's not working because i used x64 bits and when i tried with x32 bits it works perfectly fine
you earned +1 subscriber ^^
But...the elusive quad boot I've heard so much about. Must...boot...all the OSes
Was about the triple boot . til i remembered the niece's old laptop.
Hackintosh win10 mint linux and android x86 here. It's relatively easy but clover doesn't play fair with Android x86. I went through hell just get it to show and replicating would be annoying
@@tejaspadhye Actually, it could be linux, bsd, hackingtosh (tecnically originally derivated from bsd but i think its awready not the same thing), reactOs, AspireOs (beOs based), freedos (dos clone), haiku (another non unix Os), windows, etc.
@@tejaspadhye Yay! now gimme a cookie
@@tejaspadhye Thanks mate
When format process start screen resizes and everything freezed
try different android x86 version
Hi I need help I can't get the partition formatting done, it always gets stuck at 33%. I have a 500 GB hard drive which I am using. and I am trying to install android on an old Sony Vaio laptop
thank you, you've just saved an unused old netbook!
i recommend getting linux instead of android
Hope you remember to add the link to the wifi adapter.
Very Useful Video dude!!! I'm really appreciate it!!! 👍👍 I'm planning to buy old laptop then make a setup like yours.
Renato Calasicas Jr. Get a touch screen one!!
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. It worked fine for me. I have 2 issues, please help me out, after the boot, WiFi networks is not getting detected, can't able to connect to internet and second is shutdown message is appearing but not shutting down. After I press the power button. Please help, solution please
Yes tell me that too
So... I tried out the 8.1 but with DVD drive. At the finish. It works well on my pc. Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you for the tutorial, I really like it and it's really proven that I can install Android on a computer without any trouble, this is really good.
How about drivers for graphic n sound? (If got onboard graphic card or PCI )
Is it automatically functioning? Or drivers needed? If so, how to install drivers for both. TQ
automatically
Android doesn't need additional drivers beyond what's in the base OS.
Mine keeps stopping at the installing screen (Expect to write) at your 8:06. It seems to create a snapshot and stays there. Any ideas?
Great sir, You explained the things in very precise and understandable manner.. thanks for your kind support...
If u install it on a touchscreen laptop, it becomes tablet PC and it's literally a great profit
I did you enable touch?
I’m going to do it on my windows 10 tablet that runs good but not that good! Edit: does it work with touchscreen?
Nekodeko! ! If your pc or laptop support Tablet Mode (touch screen)
Thanks! I wonder if it is necessary yo install any driver. Is android able to recognize every hardware?
Android on PC does not require any driver installations. Your hardware either works with it out of the box or it doesn't. Everything works on my Lenovo laptop such as Wi-Fi but I have not tested Bluetooth.
@@dennisanderson8663 How to make wifi working fine?
EHI super useful video, now I finally have an os to use on my budget laptop!
i have a problem tho, when I boot it always start with something like what you see at 6:30 and asks me if i want to go live or open the full os which is always installed, do you know how to boot straight into android?
After 7:04 it makes a blinking underscore for the whole time. I can't install this on my PC
for this helpful video you deserve to be suscribed , like this video and a thanks comment
thank you man
Can you make a video about the opposite? How to Install windows 10 on an adroid tablet/smartphone?
you can't do Windows 10 because Windows 10 is more powerful than Android and it won't work. That way you can do older or newer but you can't do newer on olderhardware is not powerful enough on Android to run Windows but it is on Windows to run Android since Windows is more powerful than Android not the other way around
The reason you can't do this in most cases is because windows is compiled for the x86 CPUs found in PC's.
The CPUs in phone and tablets are ARM CPUs in most cases.
@@UGotHookah Yes you can. I have an iRulu WalknBook tablet that came pre-installed with Windows 10. Bought it new 2 yrs ago for $99. I'm actually thinking of putting Android on it instead.
@@notmycircus1240 yeah why not do if you can do it dual boot Windows 10 and Android because then you got the best of both worlds you can play the latest and greatest maybe well either way you can play games and you can play everything from Android
@@UGotHookah explain how core 2 duos at like 1.7ghz run windows 10. I mean most androids nowadays has quqdcore 2ghz at max. And the core 2 duos run off of 10 year old integrated INTEL graphics with 32 shades and 200mhz. I mean most androids nowadays have 128 shades and 850mhz
Great explanation man. Good job
How well does it handle driver installation for video card, sound, network, etc?
Android x86 doesnt need any driver installation.
can i use my xbox one controller with this OS if i plug in my wireless controller adapter?
I don't think so,but *could be* possible if they put the drivers
You should be able to use a Bluetooth controller, which are plentiful on Amazon/eBay etc
Cloud miller pubg lover here🙋🏻♂️
@@syedadeelhassan8590 if you try to use keyboards, controllers to play pubg, you'll get banned.
Most Xbox compatible game controllers work out of the box on Android. Try the controller with your Android phone or tablet. If it works with that, it will also work with Android-x86. But not all apps allow you to use them.
This would be good in VirtualBox, to test an app before installing on a phone or tablet.
That's the first thing I thought of as well. Also good for software development, assuming the SDK works.
I'm going to try this on my touch screen laptop :)
First! I would like to start by saying that you are doing an incredible job and thank you your time and dedication. I am a noob. Worse than. If I paid you $$ and sent you the specs of my computer can you do a tutorial for me?
If you pay me enough to get a computer that matches your specs, sure.
Would this work on Chromeboxes? (like your HP one in the older video with Remix OS?) I’m just curious as to if the HDMI would carry sound in this version?
Tried live cd but wifi's still searching even after 10 minutes.Ran out of ethernet cables.Any tips to fix it?
P.S its a laptop
A great alternative - if you don't have an extra PC around (and you have affiliate resources on a current PC/laptop) is to run a virtual instance of an Android - I've used BlueStacks in the past.
Cheers and thanks for sharing!
diden't know you cloud ..learn some thing new every day on you tube 22/03/2019..that's handy..and well explained
Looks like something to try in VirtualBox. I had never thought about that before.
Vbox has no official USB boot support :(
@@fuckoffpleaseify cant you just load up iso
I did it haven't figured out guest additions yet. just installed it from the ISO
Sir... you deserve my subscription, and of course my like!
Really good video....what i was searching for ... thank you👌👌👌👌
I like how Android runs smoother on that than my actual phone 😅
That's because a desktop PC is way more powerful than a puny phone...
Ordinary GP It is true though. Most Desktop CPUs run at 2.4+ GHz. That is based on desktops from like 2005. A phone isn't running at that clockspeed consistently without throttling. Don't even getting started with RAM...
Ordinary GP A core to quad can run up to 2.80 GHz stock. Not all andriod phones have the latest Qualcomm chip. When you run something designed to run on a phone using native Linux, it's obviously going to be snappier than most phones.
Ordinary GP That's not even the point of doing this. The point of doing this is expirementing while putting an old PC to work. A lot of andriod tablets actaully do use x86 chips. If there wasn't, than Andriod would be just like iOS: Being impossible to port to PC hardware without emulation. The only reason why x86 isn't popular with andriod as it saps power. But that doesn't matter in a DESKTOP PC when the CPU has all the cooling and power it needs. X86 is the more powerful option anyways. While SoC arm CPUs are getting more powerful, there's only so much you can do with passive cooling, thin casing, and THD the fraction of what a Desktop has.

Go ahead, dude
nice. I'm not too fond of Windows 10, especially with all the issues. im using windows 7, but am undecided between changing my pc either to linux or Android. (didnt think it was possible)
HA HA im in danger
nice attitude ! btw i was thinking if it will work on a single core 2.2ghz cpu ?
@ my parents dont let me buy it. Still I have an xbox One x
Core 2 Quad was a gaming beast back then. Now, it struggles to show a Quad HD video
It does? My Q6600 works just fine??
