Hello! Long time android user/rooter/tech guy here, first time poster, first time windows tablet user.
I’m loving this tablet and pretty much everything about it, but there’s something really really big missing and I need help filling in the blank, and this is where I start to feel stupid.
When I plug my tablet into any computer, while booted in windows 10, no computer will recognize I’m even plugging anything in. And what’s weirder, I tried plugging in my galaxy s6 edge+ to the tablet via the adapter that came with it, and all it did was start stealing the charge from my phone! You’d think with it being pure windows 10, plugging a phone into it would make it try and detect the new device and install s6 edge+ drivers, but nope! Booting it into Android makes it so any computer can recognize it instantly, but of course I have a 64 gb sd card, and this version of Android can’t read it. So clearly there’s a switch of some kind that I have not figured out how to flip to make it communicate with other devices correctly, be it a driver or something of some kind, so here’s questions:
- Does the tablet itself need a driver installed on it that can change what the USB port is told to do (charge only, data transfer, etc), or is everything already loaded and I’m missing something?
- Do the computers you connect it to need a separate driver installed on them before the device can be recognized while booted in windows 10? The only drivers I’m able to find I can’t figure out what the hell you do with em.
- Is it simply impossible to get windows 10 to recognize that port as anything but a charging port?
Honestly, I’d probably delete the android partition and stick strictly to windows to save space, but that’s definitely not an option if I can’t transfer anything to any device of any kind while in Windows 10, as if the USB port is dedicated to only charge and nothing else. What am I missing?
edit:
Things that work- Jump drive, mouse, keyboard, multi usb hub
Things that don’t- Tablet to PC, Phone to tablet (not that I need the latter it’s just odd that it doesn’t work)
