Ordered and waiting for my: BMAX S15 & Teclast F6 Plus
Currently testing: LG G8X & Redmi K30Hey Guys,
I thought i would write up a tutorial on how i did the installation of Windows 10 on my Chuwi Hi8 Tablet, Please note that i do not take responsibility if break/damage your tablet.
Please note I have upgraded Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 in order to Activate my product key thats aligned to my Microsoft Account, once the upgrade is complete and the product key has been activated it was then a clean installation was performed, I strongly suggest to upgrade first before performing the clean installation.I hope this helps 🙂

Hardware Wise:
OTG Cable
3 Port USB Hub
8Gb USB Flash Drive (fat32)
USB Mouse & Keyboard
USB Wireless Dongle
6Gb Minimum HDD on the Tablet is required
——————————————–Software Wise:
Windows 10 Media Creation Tool – Download the correct version suited to your PC not the Tablet

http://techtablets.com/downloads-drivers-roms/——————————————–
The Upgrade: (Upgrades the OS from 8.1 to 10 with an Activated licence):Download Windows 10 Home 32-bit version (Supported for you Tablet) via the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, this may take a while depending on your internet connection.
Whilst your waiting for this to download, have a look at how much space is left on your Tablet as you will be needing at least 6gb in order to install the upgrade, for me i didnt have anything important on the device so i decided to run the recovery and bring the device back to factory standard and making sure it was activated under my Microsoft Account once again without doing all the updates.
Soon as the ISO has been downloaded, Plug in your USB to your PC and run the Rufus app on your PC selecting the Drive that your USB stick is using then click on the small image on far right bottom of the page that looks like hard drive with a CD on top and wait about 10-30 mins for this to complete.
Once completed, fire up your tablet, plug in the OTG adapter and plug in your USB hub with your keyboard/mouse & USB connected.
Once in Windows, go to Windows Explorer and run the Windows installer and follow the prompts, you do not have to download the additional updates just yet as this will contribute to additional space to be taken from your tablet.
Keep clicking next and then let the Tablet take its course in the upgrade procedure, this may take a while to do…
Soon as you have logged into Windows 10, you will need to check your Product Key has been activated if it is your good to go.
——————————————–
Clean Installation: (Clean installation, Deleted Partitions Edition only if Windows 10 is activated):
Power off your device Connect the USB Installer, Wifi dongle, USB keyboard and mouse to your USB Hub/OTG Cable to the Device.
Power on your device and hold down the “ESC” Key when you see the CHUWI Logo, this will take you to another menu then select “”
Choose your Language / Region then click next, then the Product key screen may appear, if so then click skip.
For Clean installation click “Custom Installation”, this will enable you to select the partition and wipe it or otherwise do what i did and delete all the partitions and create a new one (this will give you a total of 29.8gb), the installation process will take about 30+ mins to install.
Once the install has been completed Windows, Log into Windows using your Windows Account, then run Windows Updates and reboot.
When you have rebooted, Run “Double Drivers” application from your USB and then select the folder “Chuwi Hi8 Win 8.1 Drivers Doubledriver” and then click on Restore, during this process Windows will display notifications asking you to install drivers that have not been signed by Microsoft for Windows 10, just keep clicking install and once complete, then reboot the Tablet and then run the windows update to check your drivers once again..
And your done!

Hi,
Everybody who own c5j6 tablet. This write up is after a bitter experience i have gone thru
please note this very carefully,
it is completely and purely from my bottom of my heart with solid experience with c5j6 modelfirst things first.
1, do not update any updates either from windows or android. In android there is a stupid chinese application teclast update. Please uncheck it.
2. Do install belarc software in windows, link is here,http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
run this and save the information of your decice to cloud google drive, particularly product key. Note it down and if possible go to windows site and download original wwindows 8.1 with bing with this product key.
3. Make a bootable GPT partition disk using rufus or iso2disk software.
https://rufus.akeo.ie
http://www.top-password.com/iso2disc.html
these 2 links are genuine
4. Run dxdiag and note down the status of whql signatures if any by taking images or printscreen, also run commd prompt to know about product key and cross check it with belarc value.
5. Buy this accessory
http://m.shopclues.com/micro-usb-host-otg-cable-with-external-micro-usb-power-for-nexus-4-5-6-7-9-10.html?utm_campaign=Search-PLA-Shopping&utm_medium=CPC&utm_source=Google&gclid=CjwKEAjwlPOsBRCWq5_e973PzTgSJACMiEp2vkiC8CIHTqK9Seyq45d8wBpNsJ3h05ZmGvZq8alEbhoC5zvw_wcB
this will be very helpful to run your tablet whiel charging and simultaneously working thru keyboard, mouse and pendrive.
this will be useful for any restoration if required due to fail to boot after updates ( you can view my posts regarding)Through command promt. With help this otg hub, first access bios through keyboard, take images of bios pages. There are 3 such pages where in first page you will find bios compliance and also teclast tpad project. These chinese OEMs buy bulk volume keys from microsoft and it costs for them @5 to 10 $ and they install windows with one single key in thousands devices. Therefore if you notice the id (which will be c5j6 for your tablet) at back side with some serial no. They take advantage of not providing any windows original backup dvd by disabling boot files in system 100mb partition through updates and ask you to pay them extra dollars for original dvd/pendrive. This cheap business trick is adopted by not only teclast but dell, lenovo and many such brand companies. Microsoft head bill is also not exception to this trick moreover he may be the inventor of such a sucking idea.
6 If you are having a retail version and sure of how to install win 8.1 (mind you this tablet is a uefi system based one, hence it requires gpt partitioned bootable pendrive) and wish to remove chinese stuff, i suggest you to master dual boot systems and copy entire partitions (there are 19 partiotions which i have attached a image of it in my post) to a back up pendrive of 128 gb capacity. I also suggest to copy them in a laptop or desktop and go through all directories mainly intel. It will help you to restore any point of time.
7. Always take an image iso of a latest restore point, this will be very helpful in future device failure ti boot. Store these restore imgs in evexternal system.
These are very important dos one should do particularly with these OEM chines tablets. These chinese guys are very cunning, they try to get all imp details of many valued customers through their chinese os, firmwares. Particularly if you observe the drives for blutbluetooth and wifi, their drives names are in chinese language. They control the devices through these drives specially designed for their requirements.
All these 7 points are within our hands, but if problems due to over heating or battery failure or adapter failure no one can do any thing because, there is no any service personnel or department to take care from original teclast web site. It is really disgusting,
I FINALLY SUGGEST NEW CUSTOMERS TO BE AWARE OF THESE THINGS PARTICULARY AFTER SALES SERVICE WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT BEFORE THEY BUY.
SORRY FOR SUCH POST BUT I AM HELPLESS.
FORGIVE ME FOR ANY HARD FEELINGSI received my cube i7 stylus yesterday and wanted to give some information to people who are thinking about purchasing it. Take into consideration that I’ve been using it for less than 12 hours.
I purchased it from geekbuying.com. The experience was positive overall. There was a 3-week delay in shipping but once shipped, the item arrived via DHL from Hong Kong to NYC in 3 days and was well packaged. As for the tablet itself:
I’ve been using tablets for more than a decade, and my latest one was the Asus vivotab note 8 (AVTN), which has Intel Atom Z3740 CPU, and eMMC, and 2GB of memory.
Positives:
1. Fast CPU and sufficient memory. As fast as the Surface Pro version 1 I had a couple of years ago if not faster. I use onenote to study, so I put entire books and heavily mark them. This is a CPU and memory-intensive process, so in the AVTN I sometimes had to wait for more than a minute after highlighting before I could keep going. In the cube, I don’t have to wait.
2. SSD very pleasant surprise. Unlike the Cube I7 without stylus that has been reviewed on this site, this tablet has a “FORESEE 64GB SSD.” I ran an AS-SSD benchmark and received much higher scores than posted on the review of the Cube I7 without stylus. Noticeable faster than the AVTN eMMC. As a side note, you have only about 53GB free space.
3. Build quality. Sturdy feel, similar to the surface pro version 1, better than AVTN. Even though the AVTN is 8 inch and the cube is 10.6 inch, it feels like you have much more screen space with the cube, possibly because of the higher resolution. The cube weighs more than the AVTN but when you hold it, it doesn’t feel that much heavier if at all.
4. Screen. I am not a screen expert and don’t have the tools to text color accuracy and so on, but it has good viewing angles and I had no significant light bleed. The screen arrives with a screen protected that scratches easily and has a few small bubbles, though it is not a big issue.
5. Stylus. I am using a Fujitsu Lifebook stylus. The accuracy and responsiveness is as good if not better than the surface pro version 1 and much better than AVTN. There is inaccuracy on the edges, as expected with Wacom, but still better than other Wacom-based tablets I used to date.
6. Battery. Lasts about as long as the AVTN, 8 hours give or take. Screen brightness about 30%, balanced power mode. Working with onenote and some web surfing.Negatives:
1. Touch sensitivity on edges. The touch sensitivity overall is great, and even on the edges, you don’t need to use much force for a point touch. However, you really have to press hard for it to register a slide over the edges. This is an issue for me because on onenote, for example, I slide down the pages fast so I have to do a couple of inches away from the edges unlike with other tablets. It might improve if I take the screen protector off, but there would still be a difference between the edges and the rest of the screen.
2. Wifi. Only 2.4Ghz. I have no issues but people who use bluetooth may have interferences.
3. Operating system. Some characters on several menus in specific programs (for example, windows defender before I updated it) are in chinese and can’t be modified in some programs, but this hasn’t prevented me from using a program yet. It might resolve with an upcoming clean install of windows 10.
4. Sound. Similar to the AVTN in volume and quality, which makes it one of the worst encountered. Not a deal breaker for me.
5. Charging. I prefer to charge through micro USB, though other prefer to use it for peripherals. This tablet comes with a 2.5Amp power brick, so you need to carry it with you.
6. Screen ratio 16:9. Would’ve preferred 3:2 for better balance and productivity.
7. Can get hot. After about an hour of using about 80% CPU at 2GHz, I could feel the upper part of the tablet heating up (in portrait mode). Nothing. The ambient temperature in the room was about 80F, and though I could still leave my hand on the tablet’s back, it was borderline.Overall, I am very pleased with the tablet so far. Has some minor glitches but is as close as possible to a surface tablet with a core M processor, and for a bargain price. If I were the manufacturer, I would consider offering a 3:2 screen, 8gb RAM, and 128GB SSD for a higher price point because the baseline tablet is a very good prototype.
