Hass.io on Windows tablet ( HP Stream 8 )

Folks

I have a Windows based table ( HP Stream 8 ) with Windows 8.1 running on it and I was wondering if I could install Hass.io on it and run the system from table on charge somewehre in a drawer?

Would it be possible to connect to it via WIFI as on RP3 using IP address?

I also have one old HTPC Intel based PC where I could install Ubuntu or maybe other OS.

What would you recommend? I was thinking that the table would be more power efficient for my electricity bill.

That all depends on whether or not you can load Linux on it. You obviously can’t run hassio in Windows.
