Hello, I have an old ASUS T100 2in1 device. The screen has 32gb eMMC with windows and is detachable (to allow for tablet use) from the keyboard that has the 500gb SSD. I would like to install Windows on the SSD instead of the eMMC since it would be much faster, but will this be possible on this device? If this is done, the screen will no longer operate by itself so will the manufacturer stop users from doing this??

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!!

I'm going to go ahead and suggest you don't "try it" as has been suggested. If it requires opening something up, and you're not 100% sure on how to do so, or whether to do so, you're better off not doing it. At least, not until somebody can give you a guarantee that it will be fine.
