hi.

 

today i was reading about the "hard drive" emmc, there is no information about how and why this format exist because is not an standard format, i have a tablet whith this emmc harddrive but i can not install an ssd or mechanical disk because there is no slot mini pcie or micro sata.

 

so, i have only the microsd slot and 3 usb ports, in the web some people said this format dies quickly of the readings and writing data, im triying to install windows 7 in a microsd and boot from the microsd but i dont have succes because there is no drivers for an "emmc" , this driver are in a full iso from dowloaded from microsoft but they are not in standalone.

 

does anybodi have expirience with this diskS?.

 

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU GUYS.

EMMC is a type of storage just like an SSD or HDD is a type of storage. EMMC is usiually solderd to the motherboard and cant be swapped out, its low durability, low speed and fairly low cost. Are you sure the tablet support windows?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

If thats an ATOM based device with preinstalled 32bit windows, there is a good chance you cant even install 64 bit. You see, these devices generally only come with 32 bit uefi bioses, which does not allow for 64bit os install.

 

As for eMMC; stick with that. If you install an OS the sd card, it's going to be painfully slow. SD cards and sd slot readers are just not meat for that kind of workload.

 

32GB is plenty enough for Windows 10 32bit. You just need to do a clean install, delete all partitions and remove and disable all unecessery stuff. You can usually end up with 15GB-20GB of usable space. Not a lot, but still better than running OS from sd card.

 

Another option is to install a stripped down version. There's a lite version circulating around (Windows 10 Pro RS6 v1903 Build 18362.30 May Update Clean Lite By SasNet)
if you want to play with that.

my laptop atom came whith x86 windows 10, but intall a 64 bit version is locked for bios limitation.

 

jajaja , i had the 32 bit sasnet x83 rs3 performace edition, worked great, but i decided to go back to win 8.1. i works now very good, and i have 20 gb free for files, is enought i think.

If you have a 3xxx generation or newer atom, you can't install windows 7. There's no uefi and driver support for it.

Nope, thats win8.1+ only. Your best best is a stripped down win10 build.
