We will first update a handful of settings in the motherboard’s BIOS. If we did, there’s a very high chance Windows won’t be able to work with them. I have quite an old laptop and decided to give Phoenix OS a try, loved it that much that I decided to try and install it as a standalone OS, so I download the 64bit ISO image and used rufus to install it onto a 16gb USB stick, I also got hold of parted magic, so the steps I took was to reboot into parted magic and remove all. We had problems getting Phoenix POs to run in a virtual machine and hope they can fix this. There’s a bit of work to do before we can just add all the cards. Sorry AMD users, Phoenix OS, does require an Intel processor. Obviously, this is a catch-22, because you can't get back to Windows without rebooting but it's well worth it for the performance. We've taken screenshots of all this you can see below as we know it can be a little intimidating for some.īecause PhoenixOS boots separately from Windows, you will find it to be much faster than other emulators you've tried. Finally, you can reboot and select Phoenix OS on boot. If you're upgrading later, you will see the same screens we just discussed except for upgrade, rather than install. You can opt to use 4, 8, 16, or 32GB of drive space but make note you can't change this later so go big. Next, you choose the drive to install Phoenix OS on, and they let you know that it won't delete any files. There are also options to report a problem if you got an error message already and a FAQ if you have any questions before you begin. It is best for performance to install it to your hard disk. Also available as a ISO here.ĭuring installation, you are given the option of your hard drive or to a USB thumb drive. Phoenix OS is an Android-based operating system that you can install on your hard drive or as a bootable DVD or thumb drive.
