How to Install Windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5 - Gizmochina

It’s been more than a year since the Xiaomi Pad 5 is here with all its high-end specifications consisting of Snapdragon 860 and Snapdragon 870 on respective models. Surprisingly, the Android tablet from Xiaomi can now run Windows 11 without any major bugs or flaws. As spotted on Geekbench...

Thank you so much
The video is great but the tool is much easier (one-click installation tool)
I have no expertise in modifying partitions, so ur experience in ur mi 8 would be very valuable.
I might need to ask u some questions when things get messed up if choose to proceed with it.

yes, i can help you in this process, but it’s a bit different than xiaomi mi 8, because i did it 1 year ago, so, maybe I should be able to help only in cases of problems. If you can, post here a screenshot of the default partition lable.
EDIT: if you want to dualboot, the process is a bit different, because you will have to shrink the userdata partition, not remove it completely. This way you should be able to use flash tool even with windows installed, but I'm not sure, because I'm not familiar with this guide. But remember that with the dualboot you will have less space in both operating systems.

It works using one click installer (chinese tool)
The problem is that it lack a lot of details and support is only on chinese.
Did anyone tried it?
I searched on the internet no other websites or YouTube videos
Yesterday I was about to install it and try it but the prompt box said there's a high risk of getting a bricked device and using Mi Flash Tool in fastboot won't help after updating the partitions so basically it's beyond my expertise.
I already has the ArrowOS custom ROM not MIUI.
And how can someone fix a bricked device after updating partitions.

If you brick your device is very difficult to unbrick it. I have an POCO F3 which is bricked and it has passed over 4 months and i can't do anything to unbrick or restore the partitions. If you are new study a week or two about android partiotions in internet be experienced and after that try to port windows 11.
But if you liked tweaking and you want the maximum perfomance of your tablet take a look at my guide.

The same tool (Engage Machine Toolbox V2.1.2) Has a button to revert the partitions and make userdata last partition and delete the windows ones. Once that's done you simply reboot and will boot to android(in case it crashed in the middle of the process). If it still doesn't boot, flash with mi flash because it will work now, or use fastboot rom. Anything but clear all and lock. Do not use that option(I don't know why it's applied by default at mi flash startup+load images folder).
I just bricked my mi pad 5 last night, struggled for several hours until I managed to revert it to Android. Still haven't been able to install Windows 11 on it. I reach the point in the gizmochina tutorial where it makes the partitions, it never asks for the wim file, throws error : no uefi or windows partitions found. Haven't tried to install manually, like create partitions and flash partitions using cmd.

Try to install It manually, It should work, try to do the steps in the video

I'd recommend using commands instead of the automatic tool, but if you're not familiar with cmd, then you're free to do whatever you want. However, I leave the official guide (for dualboot) https://github.com/erdilS/Port-Windows-11-Xiaomi-Pad-5/blob/main/guide/English/1-partition-en.md

Much appreciated bro

You're so correct about the clear all and lock thing, it once happened to me during installing fastboot rom cuz its the default option. The solution is just use the mi unlock tool again and it will do the job. Regarding installing windows, will u try the tool again or try manually? In both cases, if it works , please let me know id really appreciate it

Yup that's unfortunate it says if you have questions ask in the comments and there's no comment section at all. It's barely a guide.
For example: they should've mentioned that thing about formatting and booting directly to fast boot. While in the tutorial it says format then reboot then go to fastboot which is useless cuz when you first boot after formatting data you've already lost ur formatted state. Anyways I wish you good luck with manual tutorial.. the dual boot one that Maxsenza151 shared seems a good option. Waiting to hear from u

There is no comment section because the text is copy-paste from somewhere else.
So I did the dual boot and it works like in this tutorial : Git : https://github.com/erdilS/Port-Windows-11-Xiaomi-Pad-5/
The issue is that camera and speakers do not work and the charge is amazingly slow.
I'm hoping on some driver updates in the future but for now I'm using it on Android...

Ouch, speakers and camera are important.
I'm glad it booted up, tho. Although it had issues I think you learned new stuff during this tutorial. Thanks for keeping me updated. I hope im the future there will be more driver updates and an easier method.

Just do the manual One. The Renegade Project team highly recommend to follow the GitHub guide that i sent to you. If you use your brain, you can do It, its quite simple too. Join Project Renegade telegram group and ask them.

P.S: on the renegade project website they say that you need to follow github guide because there are some importand device-specific steps!

In the photos, you can see what they say.

(There is a uninstall guide too on github)
