Reply To: Windows 8.1 x86 – Install from scratch issue

[Jonathan]

I am far from comfortable with helping someone who openly admits their intent to pirate software.

For the benefit of anyone else having trouble with drivers, the majority of the hardware on the Vi10 is standards compliant or from well known companies and as such will have drivers installed automatically by Windows. The only sticking points on my Pro version were the touch drivers (Chipone), WiFi/Bluetooth(detected as Realtek but works with Broadcom drivers) and the OS switcher if you upgrade to Windows 10 (it causes Windows to immediately shut down).

It’s best to look in Device Manager and sort out drivers for devices one at a time. There are instructions dotted around that detail how to install manually, but if you do this you might end up with issues with standby. It’s best to find individual driver installation packages. Check the events tab on device properties for “further installation required” messages if you get disabled WiFi or black screens etc. when waking the tablet.

The OS switcher can be deactivated as I described here
