    Pretty sure your Windows partition will be gone if you go that route.

    Is there anyway to flash fresh android but not affecting the windows? Any suggestions?

    one more question, after flash dual bios, I can’t find the way to go into Windows recovery. Any suggestions?

    Mats is correct, Windows will definitely be wiped as you MUST use the repartition option.
    You can then re-install Windows without affecting the existing Android installation.
    There is no way to flash Android w/o affecting Windows in your case, since there are no pre-existing Android partitions

    Oh thank you very much.

    Another question. Now it’s running Windows10 which I’ve upgraded from Windows 8. I use your cmd to extract windows licencse key before and after flash dual bios. . The key I must to applied in windows 8 right? if yes, I have to reinstall windows 8 not Windows 10 and activate it with key, am I correct.

    Big thanks!

    Go ahead and extract the Windows 8.1 OEM key from your BIOS and save it somewhere, just in case, but you will probably never have any need for it.

    Once you have Activated a Windows 10 free upgrade, Microsoft records enough information about your device, that it will automatically activate on a subsequent clean install of Windows 10 on the same system. Your Windows 8.1 software key is no longer needed.
    Just install using the 32 bit Windows 10 image provided by the Microsoft media creation tool.
    When it asks for your software key, select skip. It may ask twice. Then, once Windows is connected to the internet, it will automatically activate
