Is it possible to install Tiny 11 or any the alternatives on the NeoZ64W?

NB: Z64-W has a 32-bit UEFI despite being a 64-bit device.
Reading up on Tiny11 this is what I found:
1. A computer with a 32-bit or 64-bit processor.
2. At least 512 MB of RAM.
3. A hard drive with at least 10 GB of free space.

Press the F11 key when you power on the device, this will give you boot options.

I've tried and get this from the start...
This system uses 32-bit x86 UEFI => searching for ia32 EFI bootloader
Could not locate 'efi\boot\bootia32.efi'
A quick search led me to this...
I don't know if there is anything useful in the video!
I think I will try Tiny 10 as that has an x86 version.

I copied bootia32.efi from Tiny 10 to Tiny 11 and it boots but get a message, This 64-bit application couldn't load because your PC doesn't have a 64-bit processor.
So although I've read that it can be installed on a computer with a 32-bit or 64-bit processor, that must be incorrect unless someone else knows of a x86 version of Tiny 11.

Tiny 10 installs.
Haven't had the time to see how it performs or check for missing drivers!
Can you explain how you installed Tiny 10? How did you get it onto the USB drive to boot it?

You can use Rufus!

Once you have created the install USB drive insert it in to the Z64 and...
That's what I did but Rufus will only format the drive as NTFS and I can't mount the partition in UEFI shell and the drive doesn't show up in the boot selector. It should be formatted as MBR for EFI right? Do I need to update the bios from 1.53 to 1.83 first?
I installed Android 8.1 x86 from the same flash drive formatted FAT32, so I know the drive is compatible.

It's very clear in the link I provided!

Ahh sorry, groggy morning, I should have looked further. It works perfectly with Tiny10 2303. I installed the Platform driver and then ran the batch script to install all other drivers from this package: https://files.theminixforum.com/shared/drivers/Z64W-drivers.zip
Looks like this will be very useful for booting 64-bit OS on the Z64: https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/

I just read that this is supposed to be the best driver package for Z64 on Win10: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...-chip-soc-driver-package-for-stck1a32wfc.html
That one's made for Win10 so I'm guessing it's more stable.
