Resize partitions or remove Windows in Chuwi VI 10 Pro (64gb)

[Jonathan]

1. There’s another user on this forum who’s probably better placed to answer this than I am, I’ve PMed him for you.
2. I’m not sure that telling you how to remove Windows is actually helping you, I don’t understand why anyone would want to do that 🙂

Anyway, it would be possible to use a procedure like that shown in the video to make the Android data partition larger but you can also use GParted Live on a USB stick to delete the 2 NTFS/1 Microsoft reserved partitions at the end of the drive then resize the EXT4 data partition as you see fit. Takes ages, probably longer than the other approach, but it has the advantage of leaving all your Android system partitions alone and doesn’t even wipe the existing data.

If you want step by step details let me know…

Thanks for the help Jonathan, I didn’t realize Gparted was a option, now that i’m aware of, I probably will use, even though it will take ages lol.

Your welcome.

The thing I like about Android on these tablets is that all the good old disk utilities etc. work 🙂

I have tried to reinstall windows 8 and windows 10 in vain on my tablet off and on for about 2 days.  I cannot get a set of drivers that work for the Chuwi Vi10 Pro anywhere.  Not sure if there is a doubledrive backup or what out there for the Vi10 Pro.  I am now ready to simply delete the Windows partion altogether.  Care to elaborate further on the steps Jonathan using GParted?

You don’t need Gparted to just delete the Windows partitions, even a Windows installation USB drive will let you do that. DO NOT change any USB settings in BIOS setup though!

If you post your serial number then someone might provided the drivers for you. Failing that the official Windows installation are available at Chuwi’s forum. Use the Dropbox client to download, the web download will break randomly. A free account worked for me the last time I tried.
You can apply these images to your tablet and, if you want the drivers for a fresh instal, grab them with Double Driver.
The drivers on the Vi10 are a nightmare to install there’s a list of steps here.
