Windows 7: Is it possible to install Windows 7 on ViewSonic gTablet with 10" Multi-Touch LCD Screen, Android OS 2.2?

Actually you are incorrect, the above post about Windows 7 not running on an ARM processor is correct. Windows 7 only runs on an x86 or x64 architecture which ARM is not. Most netbooks use a Intel Atom processor which is an x86 or x64 architecture processor, some may have an AMD low power chip NEo or Fusion I think or some use a VIA x86 chip. So no, you cannot install Windows 7 on the gTablet. There might be a future release of Windows 8 or Windows Phone 7 that might run on ARM but not currently and I doubt that it would run very well on it even it it could be done. Just google windows 7 on ARM and see.

Not sure about Android. However, I have successfully installed Windows 8 on this machine and it works rather well. You will need to download or find on the net all all of the Windows 7 drivers. Then you will need the ISO image install of Windows 8. Install the basic OS and then the drivers. It is somewhat tricky to do. Google it for help. Once it is working it makes a great Windows 8 PC. Good luck.

I have Window's 7 and it works just fine, however it should not make any difference which operating system you are using.

If your computer has a usb port, analog audio out port and an HDMI/DisplayPort/DVI port, you should be able to hook it up and use it to the extant that Windows 7 supports touch.

As I said, Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interfacing so it will never be perfect. I found it had some use, but your mileage may vary. Windows 8 should run ok on that machine. You could consider upgrading. it was designed for touch from the start. Still may not be what you're looking for though. If you want something that can best be able to take advantage ot touch, I would suggest some form of tablet (iPad, Android, etc)

This monitor works with all windows versions. The touch features are not operating system specific.

It works with all Windows, Win XP, Win 7, Win 8 and Win 8.1. Some of the touch features even work in Win 7. You can scroll, shrink, selection in Win 7 with this screen

Depends on the actual dimensions of the unit, not just the screen size. That being said, I haven't seen a 7" unit yet that didn't fit it....

I have Windown Vista. Don't know about windows 7. I might add that I was not pleased with the operation of this program. I deleted the program from my computer.

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.

I do not know. I bought this because I wanted the Android OS. I have no interest in a Windows installation so I haven't researched it. It has been my experience with other tablets that trying to install a different OS on them is typically not cost effective or time effective.

You can always pay for Windows 7 and it should work fine. All the drivers are seemingly available for both operating systems. Since it doesn't use touchscreen, you won't be missing out on any fancy Metro gestures.
