Im planning to root my old Lenovo Ideapad S6000-H and install Android 7 on it, but what are its requirements, and is my tablet even able to run it?

"No specific hardware requirements for Nougat. However, the release version of the hardware is important. 2-years old and older chipsets (SoC) are not supported due to the decision from the manufacturer to stop providing the necessary driver for the OS, i.e., Snapdragon 800/801.

You can use the compatibility test suite to check whether your device is compatible with the selected Android version."

 

"Android 4.4+ requires an ARMv7 processor. Custom versions have been made for ARMv6 however."

Just checked and the processor in the Lenovo Ideapad S6000-H is a ARM Cortex-A7 which is a ARMv7 chip. However you should double-check with the "compatibility test suite", not too sure where you find that though.

Okay, thanks. I already knew that it is ARMv7 cause of CPU-Z, but the main issue might be the 1Gb of ram.

Have you checked to see if there's a Lineage OS build for your device?
