i have my new n3 lenovo android and i want it change to windows. i set the bios to legacy first for windows7 or tried below but error 1962 has been killing my time. on the other hand, uefi wont detect external cd drive to boot for win8…
please help me i need this for my instructional material in school. TY
Hey, sorry for the late reply! The N3 is an Android tablet, so converting it to Windows is not really a supported path and the Error 1962 issue you’re hitting is because the bootloader doesn’t expect a Windows installer. Honestly, I can’t give you reliable step-by-step guidance on this one since I haven’t done that specific conversion and the risk of bricking the device is real. You might have better luck asking on XDA Developers where folks have documented specific Android-to-Windows conversion attempts for various Lenovo models.
