Booting windows from micro sd... Via android tab

Is there any way to make an make a micro sd card a windows boot drive IN MY ANDROID TABLET? Yes. That is very important. I want to make my tablet a dual-boot device, but my internal storage is not very expansive and I would, anyways, like to reserve that space for my android(which I very much want to keep), so I want to have a dedicated windows boot sd card in my device.  I have seen solutions like using "change my os" software, but because of my first condition, I find that not so viable. Could anyone give me a tip?

 

Summary: I want to boot windows from a micro sd card that I will put in my tablet, so I will be able to use windows in my android tablet. Any tips?

 

Device: LG G PAD II 8.0

Qualcom ARM A7 will not run Windows. Windows Intel based tablets tend to be easier to get alternative OS installed than android tablets.

No because

 

1. Windows doesn't support booting from sd or usb decives

 

2. Windows doesn't support ARM for the iso's you have, you need a custom install image for that device.

Technically it does support booting from USB, but it's still not going to work on an ARM device.
