I got my tablet a week ago and as I didn’t want Android (unless it was Lollipop) so I wiped it and downloaded the 5 part download from this site for Windows 10. I have created a boot usb drive formatted FAT32. It boots fine and installs the image on to the tablet. After the screen displays type “EXIT” to reboot the machine sits finding devices then comes up with a blue screen of death and reboots in a continuous loop showing “Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation.”
I am unsure what is going wrong, it clearly says on the side of the Chuwi box “Windows 8/10” so its supposed to support Windows 10 and others in the forum have been able to install Windows 10.

September 1, 2015 at 8:04 pm #10721Hey guys, new here (but active on XDA with the very similar Teclast X98 tablet). I face a problem with the Chuwi Hi8 identical than with the Teclast X98, and it is with the OS Switcher. Whenever I switch OS from Android to Windows using the OS Switcher, the SD Card is not detected in Windows. I have to force a shutdown, then boot to Windows, for the SD Card to be detected. I thought I was the problem, but since it happens on 2 x86 tablet with the same chipset, I am enclined to point to the OS Switch program or BIOS. Anyone experienced that?
September 6, 2015 at 5:43 am #11011Here is how restored the win8.1 image – based on the HI8 How to Flash (Chinese) instructions. Download HI8 Windows Image Part1 & Part 2 from TECHTablets downloads. You need a usb hub, keyboard & 2x USB flash drives. #1 (min 4GB) Formated as FAT32 and named WINPE Unzip part one and place all the files and folders into the root of the flash drive #2 (min 16GB) Formatted as NTFS and named SOFTWARE Unzip part Two and copy the ‘image’ folder onto the this flash drive. > This is where I had problems. The install script finds the \image\install.wim file but then tries to install other files it from :\image\image\ folder?? I fixed this making another copy of all the files and putting them in :\image\image\.. Maybe someone else can explain what they did here as well? Just hit ESC when you boot the Chuwi and select ‘Boot Manager’ then EFI USB device. This will start installing the Windows 8.1 Image.
Hi,
I am trying this method to install win8 image. As the folder in USB2 is named “images”, I thought you misstyped “image” so I put the files in “images” and “images/images”
The script finds the disk 2 but can’t find Install.wim
Then it stops.
When I check disk 2 , I find it with altered partition table. The partition is now type GPT.
Why is it changing my partition type ? And why can’t find the Install.wim ?

September 10, 2015 at 12:00 pm #11226Hello I just got my Hi8 yesterday. Once i turn it on there was a message to update to win10.
But I have some questions.
When I performe the update will i still have the dual boot? Or this update will turn this tablet just to win10?
September 10, 2015 at 11:21 pm #11259Hi! I need help. I install this windows 10 version on my tablet. But the windows is not activated. I search everywhere but I don’t find how I can able to activate my Windows.
September 11, 2015 at 5:32 am #11265Hi Andre,
Upgrading to Windows 10 will keep all your programs so dualboot and all other features will remain.
Performing a clean install will wipe out only the Windows partition and you’ll need to setup dualboot manually.
September 11, 2015 at 6:01 am #11266Hi Mihaly,
I can only recommend restoring to Windows 8 and upgrading with Windows 10 media creation tool, that’s assuming that the restored Windows 8 is activated – I can’t know that.
September 11, 2015 at 7:59 am #11268Thanks Roni.
This weekend will update to win10
September 11, 2015 at 9:29 am #11271Thank you Roni. But I have sone problems. When I install This windows 10 version, the original windows 8.1 recovery partition is deleted the installer. 🙁
If I install an official windows 8.1 this is good?
September 11, 2015 at 9:45 am #11273It is a version called “Windows 8.1 with Bing”, I think it is only available for hardware manufacturers and is only pre installed at the factory. Maybe Chuwi has an option to download a restore image which will give an activated windows intallation – I never checked that out, but I’m sure there is an answer for that somethere in the forums.
September 11, 2015 at 10:24 am #11276I find a torrent version <i>MICROSOFT WINDOWS 8 1 UPDATE 2014 WITH BING X86 PRE-RELEASE CORECONNECTED ENGLISH DVD-WZT</i>
You think this is good for me? And how to install this version on my tablet? This is a big ISO file.
September 11, 2015 at 1:19 pm #11288I make a official windows 10 pendrive with microsoft media creation tool, I boot this pendrive, and I install the windows 10. After the install my windows is activated!
September 11, 2015 at 1:35 pm #11289That’s good to know.
Who thought that the easiest solution will turn out to be the best one.
