BIOS not seeing mouse/keyboard/touch

[Anonymous]

Sup, nuked both Android and Windows partitions while trying to get rid of Android and make Windows take all the space, and now can’t boot into anything. I have a USB stick with Windows 10 on it, but can’t boot from it as I cannot navigate the BIOS – when I boot in “Windows mode” with Vol Up + Power, I can only navigate with volume keys, going up/down, but not even able to open anything.

 

Tried like 5 different mice and 2 keyboards, got as far as seeing a mouse cursor pop up when I booted with an Apple Mouse plugged in, but it wouldn’t move.

 

Anyway, is there a way to boot to USB, make BIOS see a mouse/keyboard/touchscreen, or to re-flash everything with fastboot or Intel MFT?

So I managed to get Android back with MFT, and my USB devices do work in it. What’s up with that?
Anyway, this is literally the opposite of what I was trying to achieve, not sure where to go from here.

Did you try hard reset by holding the power button when mouse or keyboard is plugged in?

Yeah, that’s something I did many times as hard reset is the only way to get out of the BIOS, since I can’t choose any options.

Fixed. Boot while holding the escape key on USB keyboard instead of the volume up key on the tablet.
