Hi Jörg, I like to fix this from the command line. My method is as follows (please note that commands should always be typed without the surrounding quotes):
Prepare a Windows 10 32-bit USB installation drive using either Microsoft’s media creation tool or a pre-download ISO and Tuxboot.
Boot the drive created in step one, at the region settings screen press Shift and F10 (a command prompt window should appear).
Type “cd /d c:\” followed by enter.
Type “dir insyde /ad/s/b” followed by enter. You’ll get a list of places where the switcher is located.
For every location type “move <location> <location.old>” with double quotes around the locations. (Note, you can copy and paste to save typing).
Exit setup by either closing all Windows or else type “wpeutil reboot” followed by enter into the command window.
As an example this is what you might get for steps 4&5: C:\>dir insyde /ad/s/b C:\Program Files\Insyde C:\>move “C:\Program Files\Insyde” “C:\Program Files\Insyde.old” 1 dir(s) moved.
I did not come to the test. I’ve read on the web, if there is a problem, you can turn off the boot again. After 3 times comes the Automatic repair function. Since I wanted to reset the device, I could do it from there. I had windows back.
For future reference, switching off any computer by holding the power button can, in extreme cases, damage the flash based memories(BIOS, eMMC, SSD etc.) and/or render sectors on traditional magnetic HDDs unusable. It isn’t something you should do if there’s another choice.

Yesterday I upgraded successfully my new 64gb dual boot Vi10 pro without any issues.
I tried the in-place upgrade.
The Get Windows 10 app didn’t work, so i used the media creation tool
selecting Download Tool Now
After tool installation choose “Upgrade my PC now”,no need to create a bootable usb or disk ,and let it to do the job.
You can even choose to keep your apps and data from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
