From dualboot back to w10 only?

[Martijn de Jong]

I’ve managed to install Windows 10 again, I would say modifying the install script would work, even without a keyboard perhaps. I will have a look on that script, currently the Android is pretty useless, very buggy and only eating up free space. Another option is to use a partition manager to delete the android partitions and reassign to the windows volume. But that would surely mean the neccesity for a keyboard to be present.

Could you please tell me how to modify the script to go back w10? Or assign different space to android partition? Windows 10 x64 need some drivers or they are included in the image? Thank your for the answer anyway!!

I analyzed the script and made some adjustments to rule the Android install out, I will test it tonight on my device, if it works I’ll post the new script. In the new image all drivers are present, however there is one problem – Windows is not activated. I will check on that too, as there are different editions in the script present.

It is looking good, I’ve attached the script, I assume you have downloaded the dual boot files from Cube/or this site and created a usb boot drive with those win10 files.

Step 1. You need to replace the script from the dual boot files in the folder win10\scripts\main.cmd with the attached script.

Step 2. We will need to delete any existing partitions on the device, if you are still running Windows 10, goto start > run: diskmgmt.msc
Or open disk management from administrative tools/search. From there you need to delete all partitions (approx 12) of the 29,8 GB disk. You will probably run in a few errors when trying to delete windows partitions, as they are in use. At least, delete all non windows partitions.

Step 3. Now you need to boot the usb drive with the win10 files and replaced script, this is automated en after 20 minutes or so the device has been flashed with Windows 10.
I would highly recommend to have a usb otg adapter with keyboard and mouse, in case it does not go well. You will then need to do some manual removing of partitions with another usb boot drive.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! I received it today! I would first try to install android and windows to give it a try but i would give less space to android partition any possible way to do that?

Since i don’t have an usb drive of 16gb can i use an usb adapter with a 16gb microsd?

You could lower the volume through diskmanagement in Windows, but it wouldn’t do you any good, the partition is in front of the Windows volume, so would not gain the extra space from it.

And yes, you can use a microsd card instead.

Hi everybody!

I tried to flash dual boot, following the instructions found on this site but when I should select Windows icon in the dual boot menu (point 15 of the guide) I only see the android icon. What can I do? Is it possible abort the dual boot and get back to install windows 10?
Thank you in advance!

[John Maugeri]

Is there any way to edit dual boot files to change the partition sizes to allocate less to android and a bit more to Windows 10?

 

thanks,

 

john

Hello I got an iWork Air yesterday and today I did to it the same procedure as my Teclast tablet. Booted with a pen-drive with Windows 10 64 bits (32 bits seems that it is not supported)  versión 1607. Erased all partitions and installed Windows.  Then downloaded and uncompressed the drivers from this web to the pen-drive and installed drivers for all devices marked as unknown in device manager.  After connecting it to my WiFi, Windows got activated and started installing updates.

For me it has worked exactly like the other chinese Windows tablets that have passed through my hands. In a tablet with only 32 GB of storage I prefer to use it all for Windows.

Wow, this is really good news! As soon as my tablet arrives i’ll try doing this.

Are the drivers you have 64bit? I am trying to install the drivers but they seem to be 32bit as it keeps failing to install and saying I need 64bit drivers.  Cheers
