hello, welcome to NETVN
In this video I show you how to install Windows 11 and Android TV on the same computer
With this method, you will turn your computer into a smart TV
First you download the Android TV installer
I put the link in the description
Here I use a desktop with Widnows 11 installed
I will install more Android TV OS on it
To create an Android TV installer you use Rufus
You prepare a USB drive with at least 2GB in size
I don't have a USB drive that small so I use a 64GB USB drive to create a bootable installer
You open the Rufus tool and browse to the file with the extension iso to create the installer
The installer is almost 1GB in size so it will take less than 5 minutes to create the Android TV installer
And here is the USB drive you will get
Now you create a new partition to install the Android TV operating system
If you don't have an unused partition then you shrink the current partition
Here I shrink the Windows 11 installation partition and create a new partition of size 10GB
I recommend that you create a partition of at least 10GB in size to install Android TV
After creating a new partition, I formatted it and named it Android TV
You name this partition will help you easily identify the partition you want to install in the next step
If you have a lot of free space on your hard drive, you can create a larger partition
Now you have a bootable USB drive and a new partition to install Android TV so you restart the computer and install the Android operating system
You access the UEFI BIOS and set the boot order
Depending on what type of motherboard you use, the setting is different
If you use ASUS motherboard then set up like I am doing
You set up your computer to boot from a bootable USB drive
You scroll down and select install Android operating system
Because the partition to install Android TV has been named so you will easily identify it
You select it and press Enter
You format this partition as ext4, you do not partition it as ntfs or fat32 because it may cause some unexpected errors
You choose to install EFI GRUB2 to customize the boot in the following steps
At this point you have finished installing Android TV on the target partition
Now you run Android TV for the first time
An interface like a smart TV running Android appears
You use the mouse to select options
You set up the language and internet connection for Android TV
Android TV connected to internet successfully now you need an Android phone to control it
Here I have a Samsung phone running Android and I install the Android TV Remote app
I open this app and search for Android TV in the same local network
I found a new Android TV device called Nexus Player
You choose it to connect
On the Android TV screen will appear 4 letters, you use it to pair between your phone and computer
To be able to discover Android TV, the computer and phone are connected to the same local network
Now you use your Android phone to control like a TV remote
Next you use a Google account to log in to Play Store
With Play Store you can install apps for your Android TV
Then you set up the location and assistant
You complete the settings as above to come to the main interface of Android TV
And here is the interface after completing the setup
It has the same basic applications as a smart TV
An indispensable application for an Android TV is YouTube
Because I use Google account so I can install apps on Play Store
I will install a new app for this Android TV
I install VLC app for Android TV
You use your Android phone to control this TV, you use it to navigate and open apps
There is still one problem to solve to be able to use both operating systems on the same computer
Now you remove the USB drive and start Windows 11
You use your Android phone or mouse to restart the computer
As you can see in UEFI BIOS there is no option for you to boot into Android TV, and this is the problem to solve
You boot into Windows 11 as above
To manage the computer boot you use the tool EasyUEFI
This tool will help you boot into Android TV
You download and install the EasyUEFI tool like other popular software
Because you use this tool only once, you only need to use the trial version
The software has been installed you use it up to customize the boot
As you can see there is currently no option to start Android TV so you create a new entry
You set the operating system type to Linux or other OS
You select the EFI partition and browse to the folder called Android
EFI\Android\Bootx64.efi
You browse to the file named Bootx64.efi
Then you set the description as AndroidTV
With this tool you can add a new UEFI boot option
You only need to set it up once and then you can remove the EasyUEFI software
Now you restart the computer and go to UEFI BIOS
For ASUS motherboards, press the Delete key repeatedly to access UEFI BIOS
Then you set the boot order
You will see a new boot option appear called Android TV
You can give it another name if you want
With this setup you can start Android TV
Now I will check the results
Here you can choose to start Android TV or start Windows 11
I choose to start Android TV
You wait a moment for Android TV to start up like on a physical TV
Boot Android TV successfully, you use mouse and Android phone to control it as mentioned in the previous part of the video
To test Windows 11 OS I restart Android TV
