Can the WT8-A32 be converted to a dual boot system with windows 8.1 and android OS?

There is no reason why not, I have booted from many devices. The only issue is that the new boot must be UEFI capable and needs to have power management drivers to keep from overheating the ventless design. I do not know of any Android distros like that.

I had bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend, so I have not tinkered with it. As to converting it to a dual boot system I found several websites that provide instructions as to how to like MakeUseOf. I'm more an Apple kind of guy but they seem pretty straight forward with some caveats like only using APPS that support a X86 processor which the Toshiba has. Good luck with it.

Yes, just look up Enabling Wireless Display (WiDi) on Windows 8 RTM on google and click on the intel link. It will have directions to install the Windows 8 drivers.

I just finished getting android to dual boot with windows. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work. On mine I installed to sda2 and that turned out to be my c: drive. It all went well but grub would not recognize windows so did not offer windows as an option. I had to pull the hard drive out of the s10-3t and add some lines to a menu file in grub directory then put hard drive back into the netbook. I used a usb ide/sata adapter to make the changes on my main computer. The needed text is available at the android-x86.org site under installation.

I don't have Windows 8 but a quick search using Google shows it is compatible....

Yes, you would have issues, if your using win 7,8 it's possible to install the device manually and set systems resources accordingly

These questions can be answered best by WD support but I do not see why it would not. You can do all sorts of things with compatibility wizard but windows 8 is an unfriendly platform for many reasons...mostly personal for myself.

It does not require drivers... Just plug it in,boot w8.1, and make sure to ENABLE the drive (google it. It is important)

You can even boot from it in Windows 8http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh451212%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

can't say for sure, as I don't have a W8 system to try it out on....but my guess is yes....its a very basic device and is worth a try at its very inexpensive pricetag.

I'd consider doing a dual boot just in case the second OS doesn't take properly.

When I purchased this unit, Windows 8.1 is the OS. Takes a bit of getting use to but works OK.

I am using wiondows 8. Our company has instructed us not to upgrade to 8.1.

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.

Yes connecting a USB external DVD is the best way to install an OS like windows or Linux. I recommend W7 64-bit or W8.1 64-bit
