Hi,

thx for the image. Setup works like a charm.

But in Windows and Android I’m not able to connect to any WiFi Network?

Alway: Can’t connect to this network.

Any Idea?

Installed Win10 from oficial Update so far everything is ok.

In win i notice that battery life is smaller than in Android.

 

This probably uas already answerd, but can i get a microSD an work in both OS? For exemple a 32gb format it and have 16gb+16gb using diferent partition that could work on both OS?

Hi Guys, I see a lot of people having problems here so I thought I would throw my experience into the mix.

FYI, I have done a clean install of windows 10 Home 32 bit (no dual boot) in a couple of ways without problems.  Here is a brief description on how I did it the easiest way.

1. formatted a 8gb usb stick using Rufas utility, (fat 32 with name WINPE) this can also be done on another machine using diskpart commands but by far the easiest is Rufus
2. Downloaded the Windows 10 Home edition 32bit from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench
3. unpacked said WHE32 using winrar to root of usb stick, also created a folder to store the drivers that I got from this site “double driver util”, I also had to download the touch driver from this site as this is needed and installed after all else.
4. I then attached a wireless keybrd + mouse to a powered usb 3 strip, I also attached the usb stick with all files written.
5. plugged the usb 3 strip into the Hi8 unit
6. powered the Hi8 while pressing the escape key, now I was presented with a few GUI options, the second option allows for boot selection.
7. Selected to boot from my usb strip (3rd in list for me)
8. windows started its install, I selected  to custom install, this way you get to delete partitions, if you have the Android on the machine there are lot of partitions, just delete all until you are left with 1 unformated raw partition  before proceeding.  now just follow the install procedure, there should be no need to enter a windows key as this is picked up from machine.  You will have to provide a key if you are installing PRO edition.
9. once install has finished and account created (warning: everything is really small on such a high res display of this size I had a magnifying glass handy) Its now time to run the double driver as administrator, hit restore and point to the directory where the drivers are residing on the usb stick, ok and a list should be populated. now just hit install ( there will be some promps along the way asking if you really want to install just keep hitting the install driver anyway option.  if you get presented with the option to reboot say no to this as some drivers are still installing in the background.
10. Whilst these drivers were completing I navigated the usb stick to where I stored the touch drivers as this didn’t install with double driver util.  I right clicked the inf file and elected the install option from the presented list of options.
11. now everything is done we can reboot.
12. after reboot touch screen should work, we can also attach to wifi router.
13. once attached to wifi a couple of seconds and I checked the activate option and windows was already activated.

Also this version of windows home was the latest build so no need for further big updated.

I ran the clean program in windows also and deleted everything, I have 20.3gb of free space, nice.

 

Sorry this was really done on the quick, hopefully all steps are understandable and I haven’t missed anything important.

Good Luck.

Hi to all,

I have the Chuwi-Hi8 with Android 4.4 and Windows 10. My problem is, since I had boot into Android I find no way to do any other things (boot again to Windows, show any menus and so on), but only run Android. Power on & Vol +/-  has no effect by me, it shows ever the welcome screen of Android with the lock. How can I switch from Android to Windows and vice versa on the fly? When I can’t go to any menu, how I can in the future change any things? May be my Chuwi-Hi8 is broken? And, in this case, what can I do to mend the fully functionality?

Please help!

Greetings

I made a fresh and clean Windows 10 installation. Now I try to install the silead touch drivers.

How do I install them? With Doubledrivers? When I try this method I get an error message that the restore.ini is missing.

What I do wrong?

OK its seemed easy I flashed android but on windows side the boot from USB option is missing from boot manager I only see efi android and efi shell.

 

Any help?

[izak]

OK fixed myself after visiting every inch of the bios. If you don’t have the boot from USB in boot manager just choose one of the 6 other option in the starting screen called Boot From Files it will show in the bios everything connected to the tablet including the USB and the files inside just choose the appropriate file that laugh windows installation.
