Switching to Windows-only

[Hans Sprungfeld]

This doesn’t make any sense. Doubt you really removed all partitions.

• connect ms account to your cube, let it sync, reboot, wait a bit, make sure it’s connected on the ms account site
• download newest Windows 10 Home 64bit iso via ms tool
• burn the iso via rufus fat32 gpt settings
• put the files I linked on the bottom also on the usb stick just in the root directory or make a new use doesn’t matter
• connect mouse and keyboard to the tablet
• boot stick, select advanced, skip CDKEY question
• remove all 14/15 partitions in the windows setup until just “free space” is selected as 1 entry, click next
• let it install

Now in Windows do this in the following order:

• start double driver exe with admin rights
• select recovery, select I15-TC%2019.08.2016%2019-34-31.zip zip
• let it work, then reboot
• install Intel HD drivers, could happen that screen becomes black during install this is a bug of stupid Intel drivers, wait a bit, then you have to power he tablet off via force off, hold down power 10 secs, reboot
• copy TouchSetting.gt into windows\inf
• install camera drivers if you want via device manager, select unknown device, bla, also intel isp bla, update drivers, bla
• connect ms account, let it sync, windows should be activated
• if still android/windows boot screen, change boot order in bios to windows as #1 disk boot order

Thanks for the response and sorry for the delay.  I tried your procedure, and drivers are all installed now.  But Windows still doesn’t activate, even though I’m signed in on the Microsoft account I signed onto before the reinstallation, and I still get the split screen at boot asking whether I want Windows or Android, even though “Windows Boot Loader” is the selected option in the BIOS.  (In fact, it’s the only option now that I’ve wiped Android.)

What do I do? ?

If Windows isnt activated, well too bad. You did it not properly in the order I said. Didnt check if device is listed on the MS account page ( https://account.microsoft.com ), bla bla. Play around with the boot order options, there are a few other options. You will mostly now need a Windows 7/8/10 key or put the original Cube image back on it, then to the whole procedure again, this time, correctly.
