Removing Windows and replacing with Nougat

[Paulyd0051]

Ok - UPDATE:

I used gparted to make a 300 MiB ext4 partition and flagged as bootable.
I then used gparted to format the remaining drive to ext4.

I used http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-7-1-rc1 clicked on the fosshub link https://www.fosshub.com/Android-x86.html downloaded the 64 bit ISO.

I burnt the ISO to a USB drive to create an image using Win32Diskimager https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

Proceeded to start the tablet with USB keyboard and the USB image.

I pushed F12 on the keyboard when the tablet was starting and booted from USB. I installed to partition 2 and installed grub on partition 1 (formatting each time).

Followed install instructions and then it all seems to work - thus far.

But then the inevitable happened, it shut down or turned off or slept??? And wouldn't start again so I powered off using power button and now it is in a never ending loop starting up

Yeah, I think you are having hardware compatibility issues.

Yeah, I think you are having hardware compatibility issues.

I think you nailed it.

I expanded the boot partition now to 1080 MiB and have shut down and restarted once without fail. Will try again.

So far the camera doesn't work (but as said, it didn't work on Windows either) and I can not use the SD card slot (will research this one further). Not sure of Bluetooth yet.

Good

So I reinstalled two fresh copies, I tried Marshmallow (really buggy, not worth it) and I tried Bliss (which said it was 7.2 but it was a Marshmallow platform set up to look like a Google Pixel (well, a Google Pixel Launcher). But again, that would not reboot (but that install didn't seem to use the first partition for the grub).

So I reinstalled the working Nougat and this is the boot command https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5nf-g1bXqlub3lseFZEVDlnajg

What is it I need to change to make this boot?
