Hi.

Please read this:

"...So the MINIX NEO Z64-A cannot be updated beyond its existing Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS firmware. "

Here is a link for you look around...:

Did you actually bother to read the thread that @notrui took the time to link you to in his reply? Or that he already informed you the Z64 cannot be updated beyond Android 4.4.4?? ( https://theminixforum.com/index.php?threads/latest-version.478/ .)

The explanation was hardly shrouded in ambiguity!!

Switching between Windows & Android (or vice versa) with the Z64 is a completely different affair to being able to update to a later version of Android than you already have!!

The download link for the official MINIX Z64 Android 4.4.4 firmware is right here on the forum, (amazingly listed for all to see right under the Z64 forum section itself lol ;))!!! https://theminixforum.com/index.php?forums/neo-z64-a-official-firmware-releases.69/

The Z64 is some years old now & it hasn't been in production or supported for some considerable time either. As such & as you've already been informed, you cannot update Android beyond 4.4.4 . (Hope it takes this time ;).)

If you want a later version of Android you'll need to pay out for a significantly newer device. However, be aware that the Android OS on these Android media hubs or mini PC's, (or whatever you want to label them) aren't continually updated as is often the case with many mid/high end Android smartphones. Invariably, they're not updated beyond the OS that they're shipped with although some of the better manufacturers do continue to develop the firmware for a reasonable timeframe after public release with ongoing improvements & bug fixes, etc.

Grab ya credit card & head over to Amazon or stick with the older Android 4.4.4 Neo Z64 ;).
 
I did not understand what you mean .... but I intend to install a recent Android ROM as you do on various mobile phones or tablets .. but if you see the links it is possible ... but where is the operating system

To clarify once again, the final firmware version available for NEO Z64-A is based off Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS.
It is not possible to install a later Android OS version of NEO Z64-A.

I understand that this version is the final one .. my question is ... if possible insert an Android Rom on this device ... I have seen on the internet people who upgrade it to Windows and vice versa ... but I cannot understand how to do it ....... perhaps now the question is clearer!

The question has always been clear!


my question is ... if possible insert an Android Rom on this device ...
The clear answer is no. Only the Official MINIX Android Firmware.

If you would like an up to date Android version you will have to convert your Z64-A to a Z64-W and install Windows.
You can then use one of these...

Please note, you'll need to purchase a Windows 10 product license key from Microsoft if you wish to convert to Windows 10 OS.
 
instead of being nice you could answer normal .... if you can't answer you can also avoid .. I asked how to do it ... and the procedure ... not all are experts like you .. dear miss sympathy
I don't know how many different ways to say it...this is the final time I'll try to make it clear....
