Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll try tomorrow. A question, someone else has the problem of micro SD and / or USB on the Tbook 16 Power

Hello everyone, as almost all of us right here, i made the OTA update and everything crashed. So i looked for a solution and found this thread. I downloaded all the files from Baidu with jdownloader and succeed to install android V3 (after many tries). But i didn’t anderstood how to install win10.

At the moment i made 2 usb flash drives:

• One called WINPE formated in FAT 32 with everything that was on the Winpe_(u) file
• And One also called WINPE in NTFS with everything that was in the Win10 RS1 file

First I went on the bios by hitting the volume UP when the Logo appeared

Then i went on the boot section and enabled the fast boot and putted the USB Support in FULL Initial

After that i saved and restared

The dual boot with the windows logo appeared

I hitted the windows logo and the tablet restarted

Then once again i came back to the bios by hitting volum UP, went on the save and exit part, booted on the FAT 32 flash drive in the Boot override part, then a black screen with many things came then it stopped.

Thats is where i don’t know what to do. Any idea of when do i have to put the NTFS flash drive?And how to finish the install? Do i need a USB hub for connecting the two flash drives for example? Thank you.

Hi Mouki Shak, welcome to my world! (the same steps, the same question, all for upgrade W10).

[Mouki Shak]

Hi M4dZ3R0, did you tried with a usb hub and the two flash drives at the same time? I don’t have one, that’s maybe the solution.

Hi guys,

Had a similar trouble with the ota update. After that i did download everything from the baidu.

Anyway to answer the last question, the  chinese howto is pretty clear that u have to do it with a usb hub and 2 usb sticks, which is what i successfully did today and now everything seems to be working.

Only bad is the Win 10 in the File seems to be Chinese one language Version, not possible to change that to english….i wrote that in the teclast forum, hopefully they will on that….

[Mouki Shak]

Thank you for  the confirmation Debmw, hope someone will find the way to change the language.

1. Hi debmw, I tried with an USB hub, 1 USB FAT32 with WinPe files and 1 USB NTFS with W10 files, when I boot with USB FAT33 nothing happened, when I boot with USB NTFS I have an error. Maybe the error is the downloaded files…

[M4dZ3r0]

*FAT32… Did you boot the tablet using FAT32 or NTFS?

Had so many problems installing Win10 on this tablet. The method with 2 USB sticks, didn’t work at all….and downloading the packages was a pain.

You need a USB hub for connecting Keyboard, Mouse and bootable USB stick.

So this is my solution:

1. Flash the tablet clean for Android, make sure is working ok
2. Get a Win 10 iso (i used win 10 pro).
3. Use Rufus to create an USB bootable stick, containing the above image. The stick has to be formatted FAT32  and GPT partition scheme for UEFI!
4. Power Off the tablet and plug in the bootable stick
5. Power ON the tablet, and it should boot in to dual boot screen.
6. Select Windows to boot into, and you should see the normal win 10 setup screen.
7. In Win 10 setup, go and select CUSTOM INSTALL, a window will appear with the available drives and partitions.
8. Scroll down and select the Unpartitioned Space. The size of it should be around 32 GB. Press Install, and normal Win 10 install procedures will start.
9. Follow all the procedures for Win 10 installation….the device will restart 2-3 times, at the end you will have an working win 10 but without drivers.
10. Now you will need an working Android phone that can tether and share his internet connection over USB.
11. Use a usb cable to connect your phone to the USB 3.0 port of your tablet, after that, on your phone turn ON USB tethering; you should see on your tablet that a network driver is being installed.
12. On your tablet, open internet explorer or edge, and check if you have internet connection….if all OK, then:
13. On your table, open Device Manager, and click on all the devices found that do not have drivers (the ones marked with yellow), select Update driver and then ” Search Automatically for an updated driver”.
14. You should see progress for downloading and installing drivers.
15. Repeat step 14 for every device.
16. After you found all drivers, go and download “Intel Driver Update Utility” and run it, it will tell you that it found new drivers for the video card, select only the second one and install it.
17. Reboot
18. Done….

If you have issues, go again in Device manager and repeat step 13. By now you should have WiFi so no phone need.

You need a USB hub for connecting Keyboard, Mouse and bootable USB stick.

Good Luck

Hi,

After flash Android with Intel Flash Tools my dual boot screen show only Androi option. Can I solve? Can I install (flash) only dual boot option?

Hi Wyg Events, thanks for the explanation. Do you have a link to explain step 3? ‘Cause a W10 64 Bits  image has more of 4GB and to save that on a USB stick formatted in FAT32 is impossible.

Thanks.

Well after I finally got it right, installation did work. But I wrote with some Chinese on qq who had similar issues with the Chinese howto…..

Anyway, should have known better before buying this. But I’m writing on the tbook now and it works so far.

Hope they will put n English version online, but I highly doubt it. Got only suggestions on their forum and qq about what to do. Unfortunately it is still kind of buy a thing and help yourself then. Good luck, don’t give up  🙂

How did you solve the problem with Android? And how to install again?

Thanks!

[M4dZ3r0]

Well, I followed the steps posted by Wyg Events, I have W10 Pro X64 on my Tbook 16 Power, but I start the steps from #2, on step #8 I have an issue, I couldn’t install W10 because the partition wasn’t clean (on disk 1 I had 15 partitions), when I cleaned the disk with DISKPART  I delete Android, I supose that.

Another issue is the camera driver and I don’t know if the problem of the SD cards was fixed, but now the disk C has more space (35GB! better than 12GB before the installation).

Maybe exists steps for reinstall Android, but that’s another story.

Thanks!
