[TUTORIAL] How to install Windows 10 only (my way)

[Eras]

So, after many, many, many, many tries to install Windows 10 properly with all drivers, I finally found a way to do it on my tablet. My model is a 32G  CWI505, and basically bought it fairly recently to launch date (still works fine!).

I DO NOT guarantee this will work on YOUR tablet, I will just provide information that may help you figure it out easier, and you do this at your own risk, of course.

I recommend reading the sticky topics in this forum as well, since they helped me a lot, as well as friendly people in here.

It is VERY important you follow the sequence, and instructions exactly, otherwise you end up with bad touch drivers, or windows bootloops.

 

======================================================================================

What you need:

2 pendrives.

A USB keyboard, or mouse, or both. (I just use a cheap logitech usb mouse)

These files: (which I mostly got from the download section from this website!!): https://mega.nz/#F!RI9jyQbK!u1kF_zYIkBAJYHFjcfOSQg

Windows 10, using the MediaCreationTool by Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

=================================================================================================

Instructions:

1- Download Windows 10 using the MediaCreationTool, and use that tool to put Windows 10 into your pendrive.

2- Flash the older Bios (V1032G Dual Boot BIOS111 (8.2 MiB).

Simply install 7Zip (7z1514), and use 7zip to extract the files inside that .rar file. Then reformat one of your pendrives to FAT32, and move all Bios files into it. Insert that pendrive to your tablet, and turn the tablet on, pressing Esc key until you see Bios options. Use the arrow keys to go to Boot Manager, and choose the pendrive with the Bios inside… it will flash it automatically.

As soon as it finishes flashing the old Bios, it will restart the tablet, and quickly press Esc again to go back to Bios options. Go to SCU, and go to the “Advanced” tab – Default OS selection- make sure that Windows is at default, and not Android (This is VERY IMPORTANT), or else, Windows may corrupt.

3- Insert the pendrive with Windows 10 in it, and restart the tablet… press Esc to go to options – Boot manager, and boot from Windows 10 pendrive… in Windows 10, choose Custom Installation, and delete ALL partitions one by one starting from the top, until you are left with only one partition. Click next, and let it install Windows 10 in that partition. Skip serial number, and finish installation.

 

4- Go to Windows Update, and let it install updates until it asks to restart. Restart normally, and then right-click on Start/Windows logo, choose Run, and type : msconfig

Under Boot tab, choose Safe mode, and restart. Under Safe mode, unzip Chuwi Vi10 Touch Drivers Installer (74.5 KiB), right click on the Install cmd file, and Run as Administrator. Install that driver, and restart again into safe mode.

5- Once back in safe mode, unzip Double driver portable (double_driver_4.1.0_portable), right click on dd.exe, and run as Administrator. Choose Restore- Locate Backup – Compressed (zipped) backup folder- 3 dots… and choose the driver file: Chuwi Vi10 Drivers Doubledriver Backup (76.6 MiB)

Restore it, and let it install all drivers for you.

 

Restart BACK INTO SAFE MODE one more time… and restart again into normal windows (msconfig, untick safe mode). Do everything exactly as described in that sequence, do not skip steps, do not skip sequences/instructions, otherwise you may cause bootloops, or currupt driver installation.

6- Once back into Windows, it may ask you to restart once again, no problem… finally after all of that you should have correct touch response, and drivers.

7- To Activate Windows: right click on Start/Windows logo, and choose “Device Manager” to make sure drivers are installed correctly. After that, unzip MTKV26B5.zip (MS Toolkit by CODYQX4), right click, run as Administrator, click on the tiny Windows logo… go to Activation tab, click on EZ-Activator, let it finish.

Right click on Start/Windows… Control panel… Windows Defender… Options gear icon… Add Exclusions – Folders… and add this folder to Exclusions: C:\Windows\AutoKMS.

I will add extra miscellaneous information on next post.

I have one question, in the step 4 you said to go to update, how? From Windows Update? In this step, before putting the drivers my wifi adapter didn’t works. How can i do it? I will try this today, thanks

Yes, step 4 is for Windows Update.

That is interesting, at that point, my Wifi already works using the generic drivers that the installation of Windows 10 installs I guess… or maybe it just uses generic “universal” drivers that come with Windows 10.

 

Are you sure you are using an x86 type of Windows 10 with MediaCreationTool? Maybe you need to flash another Bios from the beginning? What type of tablet do you have? Are you keeping android?

There is always trying to install wifi drivers manually… maybe extracting, and installing them from the double driver backup zips, and install them manually? In the download section, I used the drivers under Windows 8.1, but they are the only ones that works well with my copy of Windows 10.

There are other drivers in the download sections though, as well as something called “Ultimate Pack Genesis” (Thanks Frederic Gub) https://mega.nz/#!ackBGaiQ!r6RK3p9Wu5TSYdRYop537r8ADuGzw3XFaIpYeU82YuE

 

I know they key to all of this is having flashed the right BIOS (there are more than one out there), and the right drivers (more than one too, out there).

I wonder if tinkering with Bios options has anything to do with it too, or if maybe Windows 10 updates some drivers, and you have to roll them back in device manager… I don’t know, too many variables 🙁

 

Good luck!
