Reply To: Safe to go to Win10?

The risks are slight if you do it correctly and ask for help if you go wrong rather than messing about without knowing what you are doing.

Before upgrading the OS remove your OS switcher or you’ll end up in trouble, do this by deleting the “c:\program files\insyde” folder on your tablet or move it somewhere safe.

Your BIOS should be OK.

Before you do anything I’d suggest getting your Windows product key as it is stored in the firmware tables, issue the following command from a command prompt on your tablet to do that (don’t include the quotes): “wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey”<enter>

I would also image the eMMC drive before doing anything else (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx or the inbuilt feature in Windows).

Have a Windows 10 32-bit installation USB prepared just in case you need it.

Get the “Chuwi Vi10 Windows 10 S165C-Drivers” package from here

Don’t proceed unless you have access (with full admin rights) to another PC, if anything goes wrong you might need this to fix your tablet.

You will need a keyboard attached to your tablet to complete the upgrade, the keyboard case is fine.

With all the above in place you can upgrade Windows from your tablet as normal.
