Guide – converting X80 Pro to Windows 10 only

[Artifixprime]

Most of this worked for me, but the display adapter isn’t showing up in device manager – i.e. no Intel HD option, only the generic one.

Did you have this problem too?

Hello Artifixprime,

>the display adapter isn’t showing up in device manager – i.e. no Intel HD option, only the generic one

I was the same for me, but as I had saved all the drivers with double driver I have been able to install back the display driver.

Installing the display driver had a side effect to me :

As I want to retreive my tablet the the app I am cusrently using when power up, I did what was necessary to set-up correctly the Hibernate function that I trigger with the power button. But in hibernation, the tablet drew current on the batteries and emptied them. After some researches I discovered that the display driver was responsible for that. The most  recent driver that I found for this hardware in some Asus driver package did not solve the issue. I had to goback to generic driver to solve hibernation issue. Drawback : I have no more control on brightness of the screen…

If somebody has found a solution for this, I am interested.

Sorry for the late response.

You need to do Windows update for that.

I followed a guide similar to this on youtube.  Was not a guide for the x80 pro yet everything worked.  No more android just a lot more room for Windows.  Very happy with the result because dual boot does not work if you want to keep windows updated.

[John]

Yeah exactly. After installing all updates I still have like 10 GB free on C:.

Hello John,

I followed your advice too an italien solved my problem with hibernate too, thank you.

Everything is fine except the fact that I still have the OS selection screen at stratup that seems  to come from the bios. Any solution about that ?

 

[John]

Yeah that happens to me too, no idea how to remove it. But it’s not a big deal, really.

[Marc]

Thanks for your reply.

After a week away from my tablet I realised that the battery had been emptied in Hibernate mode.

Finally, updating W10 was not the solution. Back to the generic driver the problem disapeared again.

If anyone uses Hibernate on this nice little tablet and find a suitable driver that get rid of this issue, I am interested by the information.

Hi everyone,

I got my X80 Pro yesterday and it came with a pre-installed chinese username on the windows partition, nice!

With windows recovery I performed a full reset, (including other partitions, namely android) and it reached 81%, 3 hours later, no change. Tried again, same problem.

The tablet will now only boot into windows recovery so I have downloaded a Windows 10 ISO, put it onto a Rufus formatted USB (UEFI) and got to the initial setup screen (plugged in a hub with usb/keyboard/mouse).

After selecting the language I am told that the drivers are nowhere to be found so I have just downloaded the ones from @John, thanks btw, and I am now waiting for the pad to charge fully once more before trying again.

If anyone has any other tips or tricks to assist at this stage, they will be gratefully received as I am slowly but surely running out of options!

Many thanks,

Kev

Hi again,

I’ve managed to do a complete fresh install of windows 10 on the X80 Pro but half of the devices are not installed. In Device Manager I have 17 unknown devices including the touchscreen and network card (no wifi either!)

Any pointers would be much appreciated,

Thanks,

Kev

Step 9 of my guide.

Dear John!

In 2018, you shared the image of windows 10 for a techlast x80pro tablet on the forum at techtablets.com.
Unfortunately, this is no longer available.
I would really need the image you share.
I would like to ask if you could somehow make the file shared with me available at that time?
Thanks to:
Zsolt

Hello, sorry for the late reply, but it is normal that is very slow to install? Like to make 90% more than 1h. And shut down at 98% for the battery.
