I tried to install windows 10 and succeeded, but was soon mortified to realize that the touch drivers were broken. Through some tom-foolery and such I broke the drivers and now the tablet doesn’t even boot into the OS anymore.
To explain further, I tried to boot from a Windows 8.1 with Bing iso but it isn’t recognizing the screen and deciding that the OS can’t be installed. From there I decided to reset Windows 10, but now the tablet won’t even boot into Windows 10, it gives an error that says “INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE” and just restarts. How can I revert to Windows 8.1 like it was when I opened the box? I would be absolutely fine if the tablet had the same files as it had right outside of the box. I’ve seen the ROM files floating around on the Internet, does that have anything to do with the solution? Could I possible flash a ROM onto the tablet? I’m still able to boot into the BIOS via plugging in a keyboard and mouse.
August 7, 2015 at 6:13 pm #8971I’m in the same predicament as you. I reset Win10 and now it wouldn’t boot into windows, giving me the same “INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE” error. Have you found a solution yet?
August 9, 2015 at 4:51 pm #9154Not at all, Raymond. I’m going to have a [more experienced] computer friend look at the tablet soon, and when he figures it out, maybe he’ll tell me enough to help you out! Do you know any other forums where we could post this and get help? Things have been pretty slow here.
August 10, 2015 at 6:34 am #9242I posted over at XDA but I haven’t received any practical solutions yet for a noob like me.
August 18, 2015 at 8:25 pm #10008So I was able to install Windows 10, and was able to get all drivers loaded and working. However because I chose custom install for windows 10, instead of upgrade, my windows 10 is not activated yet. Even tho my windows 8.1 was. How can I go back to windows 8.1 with Bing?

This.. i’d like to know aswell or away to activate the windows 10… :\
August 29, 2015 at 12:54 pm #10535I went through the upgrade to windows 10 and had no problems but it seemed to take up a lot of memory so i thought i would do a clean install which is available inside win 10. I wish i had left it as it was. The touchscreen calibration was out, the android OS switcher icon was missing from taskbar and years free office had gone. i managed to get the touchscreen working again by reinstalling drivers but cant work out the OS switching software. Like everyone i to want a complete reset to win 8.1 bing. Anybody found a way to do this.
