There are ways to turn your micro SD card into a Windows boot drive for your Android tablet. It’s a viable option. You can set up a dual-boot setup, keeping your Android app space reserved. Solutions like "Change My OS" exist, but they may not fully meet your needs. For your LG G Pad II 8.0, follow the recommended steps to install the Windows SD card and enable dual-boot functionality.

Because Windows doesn't allow booting from SD or USB drives, and because the ISO files require ARM support which isn't available natively, you'll need a specialized installation image for that device.

Qualcom ARM A7 devices cannot run Windows. Tablets based on Intel are generally more straightforward for installing alternative operating systems compared to Android tablets.

Ugh. That's clear. Appreciate the details! I had some doubts about ARMs with windows... Disappointing. Still, thanks for your time.

It technically allows starting from a USB drive, though it doesn't function on ARM-based systems.
