Update: after numerous attempts to upgrade to windows Pro I finally decided to wipe the device of dual boot (android & win 8) and install an original version of windows pro via usb.

I decided to install drivereasy to back up all my drivers to a file just in case.

Proceeded the same steps as before but with a new version of windows on a second usb and booted to that. After completion of windows there were numerous driver issues which I could fix by installing drivereasy and installing the backup drivers.

However; usb is nonoperational along with the wifi and the battery seems to deplete much faster, also there are some yellow triangles on the device manager that were not updated via windows update or drivereasy: Bluetooth, senors (bma2x2), uart controller.

Other than that; the tablet handles grate, and I even installed blubeam to replace an ipad.

Hope this helps, I must say this model was cheap but not worth the money, research first then buy; you get what you payed for; spend a little more for better quality.

Main downfall, constantly have issues starting the dam thing; maybe the power button?

I had the same issue; solved. Download the required files to reinstall windows 8 from the download link:

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B4EXB7Ngka9pQzMxVlN3aV9GeFk&export=download

Procedure is as follows:

1. Install UltraIso
2. Run UltraIso and open file WINPE_x86_ntfs.iso.
3. in UltraIso toolbar  3rd tab click on write image to hard disk.
4. Insert a 8gb usb
5. Select the usb from the drop menu; select “usb-HDD
   +” and check  : create a boot patition”
6. click write
7. after completion format the usb to NTFS in windows and label it WINPE; this will allow you to copy files over 4g. Do not worry the original boot image s hidden.
8. Now copy the files: Diskpartfiles, images, scripts and Test_tool; to the usb.
9. Use a usb hub and a usb keyboard: if usb not working use an adapter for the mini.
10. boot and press “ESC” key, for the ” boot manager” screen
11. select boot manager
12. now select to boot to the usb device
13. allow the software to run its coarse.
14. after completion the tablet will restart with the original win os in chinese.
15. not to worry. in the desktop there will be in numerous icons; a couple will test the tablet functions but one will restart the tablet and will ask for language preference when complete. Sorry do not remember exactly which icon it was and i do not which to redo the process.
