Or Check out this link, seems to be a Dual OS image for the Hi8 i found its roughly 6gb though and you will need to create a login account as well.

Possible with the Windows 8.1 images that are in the download section and the same method used for the clean installation, check out other forums I have seen others on here that have experienced corrupted images and have had to resotre ? really not sure Péter

Hey Péter,

Not sure what you mean by your last comments but I’m assuming that you have gone ahead and done a clean install of Windows 10 ?

If so your going to need to reload the original Windows 8.1 images back onto the tablet and re-do the upgrade method i have advised, the only way for your copy of Windows 10 to get activated is via upgrading Windows 8.1  to Windows 10 first, it is then you are able to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 as your Microsoft account becomes your Windows 10 product key.

I would assume the easiest way to restore the tablet is via downloading the original Windows 8.1 images in the download section and installing this back onto the tablet (not sure if you will need to restore all the 20+ partitions that where on it as i have never done this part before) or if you have just clean installed the the windows C drive partition which is about 20 gb all you need to do is run the Recovery image which is on the tablet this should restore the device back to factory standard..

I hope this helps

Hey Peter Scharf, that is really strange as you should be able to enter the boot menu from hitting the escape Key on your keyboard, have you tried just connecting the keyboard to the OTG Cable ? sounds like something is a miss ?

Actually when your in Windows 8.1 does the keyboard still work or any USB Device for that matter ?..

Hey Adrian, thats correct upgrading windows 8.1 to 10 via windows directly will not change any of the partitions and the existing application on the tablet will remain 🙂

Hey Péter, Just make sure your Flhas drive has been formatted in FAT 32 and not NTFS otherwise the bootloader wont see it, Run the image again through RUFUS and make sure its formatted in FAT 32 and your should be good to go 🙂

Hello Peter,

Hmm have you tried using another keyboard at all ?

I was using a wireless Logitech keyboard which seemed to do that trick for me.

Hey Guys, if you get stuck with upgrading the OS i’ve created a simplified guide to help with most of the issues you are having 😛

Hey Paschaslis,

Good question however i would assume it would be dependant on what stock the supplier has at the time, who know they may have more old stock and sell it cheaper just to off load them to make way for the upgraded OS.

When i upgraded my Tablet (Hi8) to Windows 10, I had no problems at all with accessing the Android OS and everything still worked, one thing i will strongly suggest when you do decide to get one is to do  a factory reset on the android system first followed by a Windows 8.1 recovery as i noticed when i received my tablet it was already registered to a dummy account, especially with Windows 8.1 you want that key to be registered under you Microsoft account prior to you upgrading.

My guide above will affect the android partition if you delete them via the “Clean Installation” process.

I hope this helps 🙂

P.S Windows 10 is really nice on this device

I’ve worked it out, there is an Application that you need to download called Double Driver which you can find Via Google.

Anyways I have JUST! got my tablet up and running and its working like a Dream, Will Create another post to help those that are struggling with there installs 🙂

I’m in the same boat as you goudaj, All Images i have been downloading have been corrupted and unable to unzip the files.

Hey Chris,

Just a couple of question in relation to Windows 10

1/ the image you have uploaded to the site is this the RTM build or the beta release.

2/ I was just wondering if anyone is experienced with PC’s and knows  how to rebuild windows from scratch are we able to destroy all the partitions and just create one 1 partition just for windows 10 (and get rid of the crapy version of android with no OTA access).

3/ has anyone tried installing the 64-bit version of windows on their tablet (64-bit processor might as well use it to its full advantage).

Sorry mate these questions have been lingering for a while now and thought i would ask the question to see if yourself or anyone else has tried it ?.

cheers

[Gregy]

I think that would be a fantastic idea Chris as I’m getting a 1/3 into the download before it bombs out… 🙁
