I found that it's very strange that there's no thread on XDA for this superb popular tablet.
This tablet is the most talked about among the Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese tech nerd because of it cheap price.
It's the cheapest Windows Tablet at USD70 shipped to whole world, and USD48 factory price.

My goal here is to totally clean the 16GB emmc and clean / fresh install it with Windows 10 Home with compression to save space.
I will post my progress on the second post (SUCCESS!).
If any of you guys have this tablet and wanna try, I have attached the working drivers for this tablet that you can download below
Steps to repeat what I've accomplished:
- Charge full the tablet.
- Full reset existing Windows 8.1 with Bing x86
- Connect to internet, make sure the tablet is activated.
- Charge full the tablet again.
- While connected to the internet, do an in-place upgrade of it's existing Windows 8.1 with Bing x86 to Windows 10 Home x86 (from an iso in a thumbdrive) (This step is important! It make sure your Windows stay activated)
- Make sure all hardware is working and have correct driver and Windows 10 is activated
(connected standby seems not working very well)
- Charge full the tablet again.
- Insert Thumbdrive, Keyboard, Mouse into USB hub then insert to the tablet.
- Restart the tablet while holding down the shift key / or open Settings, and click/tap on the Update & security icon, then click/tap on Recovery on the left side, and click/tap on Restart now under Advanced startup on the right side.
- The tablet will reboot and you will see the Advanced Startup Options screen.
- From here click Troubleshoot then Advance Options then click Command Prompt.
- From command prompt, type d:/setup.exe (where d:/ is your thumbdrive letter).
- You should then be in the Windows Installer setup screen. This should be exactly the same as booting from USB.
- Follow the setup wizard to do clean install, you will see 5 partitions.
- First 2 partitions (System , EFI) you should LEAVE it, do not delete it.
- Delete the last 3 partitions (C:, Recovery and another Recovery)
- Choose to install Windows on the free space that you got after deleting the last 3 partitions. (No need to manually create a partition).
- Let it install normally, once done you will have C:/ or around 14.45GB.
- It will detect as a normal desktop, but once you install all the drivers on the first post, you will have a fully working tablet again.
Tips to save more space:
1) Use CompactOS:
From an administrative command prompt, simply use the commands:
Compact.exe /CompactOS:query This will query Windows to see if CompactOS is enabled or not
Compact.exe /CompactOS:always This will enable CompactOS
Compact.exe /CompactOS:never This will disable CompactOS
2) Disable hibernation.
3) Decrease pagefile size.
I have around 7GB free space on a fully updated Windows 10 Home installation even with default pagefile and hibernation turned on.
bro what software do you use to restore and backup the driver?
Nice Thread. Just what i was looking for!
How did you Update?
I tried via .iso on a USB drive.... did not work...
Great Job M$ did there -.- can't even see the full installation window.
(Attachment 1+2)
But well.... that's not the main problem here... it needs 6.27gb free space on C to install Windows 10 ~.~
(Attachment 3)
i still have my 4gb image partition....
Now trying the inplace Upgrade....
P.S About Drivers....
http://woshub.com/how-to-export-drivers-using-powershell-in-windows-8-1-u1/
Here are mine on Google Drive:
drivers_Momo7W.zip
drive.google.com
Also made a Macrium Reflect Free Recovery Disk and saved the img on a USB drive... you never know.
Btw, i also got that error about USB not activated via BIOS. Did you also use a USB 3.0 stick? Heard that there are some driver problems with Windows10 installation and USB3.0
Edit:
Well... inplace upgrade also fails -.- needs 5gb more space.
(Attachment 4)
Edit 24.11.2021.
****ing Google drive changed the link.
Replaced it. Got about 2-4 emails per Week askig for the file. Should work again now.
i did it.... phew....
Skipped the 6.67gb limitation by selecting a USB drive as backup for the old windows... though didn't even use it in the end -.-
So i have now 6.6gb Free of 14gb.... oh yeah... and the 4gb image partition got deleted during installation.
The worst thing was the Touchscreen driver, because i did not update but delete all i also deleted Touchscreen drivers.
Touchscreen readme.txt insider the driver package said:
- Copy "SileadTouch.fw" to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers"
- Update the driver "KMDF HID Minidriver for Touch I2C Device_15.46.55.386_6.2_x86"

Make sure you have a USB Keyboard or Mouse for the initial Setup and to install the drivers.
I installed VNC really fast and did all via PC ^^

Strange, I only have 2.5GB of free space doing exactly what you doing when I upgrade.
But the 4GB recovery partition is not deleted.
I'm still trying to find a way to boot from USB to do a clean install.
i used the .iso on a USB stick, mounted in windows and started the setup.
Btw, i can see your problems with Connected Standby....
SleepStudy
BatteryReport
Tough it was already horrible in windows8.1 so i never used that, and always turned off my device
Anyone else here has Stats from W8.1 times ?
Unfortunately I have no way of downgrading because I cannot boot from USB...
Tried the Windows 10 recovery menu to boot from EFI USB device also cannot.
shouldn't there be a "Restore Windows to previous state" ? or did you already clean the disk and deleted "old windows installations" ?

Yes, it restored back to Windows 10 Home.
My C:/Windows.old is less than 1MB.
I have no idea why this happened to my upgrade.
I'm trying to download the 5.7GB recovery file from Ployer website since a week ago but the speed to me is only around 5kb...
I believe this recovery file should be able to restore the tablet back to the original Chinese Windows 8.1 with Bing.
Linux
I dont know about you guys, but Personally, I would like to install linux on mine, but i still dont know whether it will support it. i have downloaded the iso for Kali linux and i plan to install it soon, but sadly, i cant seem to even reach the boot menu.
I think it would be nice for me to have a portable linux wireless tool, well if i can install it.
if anybody hass managed to install any linux distro on the ployer momo7w, please i would like to know how you got past the very fast boot screen, and into the bios.
How are you getting on with this?
I am just preparing to do the same upgrade... Amongst other things, the chinese writing, mid English Windows is driving me mad!!!
Have you managed to get everything up and running yet?
I have managed to get a few things sorted on this... Since you can only get it wrong once and its all over (and I nearly did!) I have managed to get USB booting, and I have also backed up the existing drivers on Windows 8.1, with a hope that in the worst case scenario (and I cant find the drivers for the touch screen!) I am hoping that I can send it looking through the backed up drivers and put it to use with windows 10!
So I am currently biting my fingernails, as I have been backing up for about 2.5 hours, and I have 18 minutes left, and I am hoping the battery holds out for the complete backup (Using Macrium on a live USB to do the backup!)
I will see how it goes, but happy to help you guys get your devices booting to USB if you want!
Running into issues! I can get a USB disk bootable, as I managed to back up from a UEFI USB, but now, I cannot build for love nor money - a Windows 10 installer UEFI USB! RUFUS, SARDU, none of them seem to be able to make it work
Got a bit more work to get done! I might event get a solution, but the way the ployer UEFI is setup, its missing some key settings in the UEFI, which without (CSM) we may not be able to clean install!
managed to get the new installation done, you will need a mostly charged tablet, a USB adapter cable, I would recommend a four port hub - one for a mouse, and one for your USB drive with the windows installer on it.
I am happy to share my BIOS settings so you guys can reproduce it! I am waiting for the install to finish and I will run all the drivers installations through, then I can try get the touch screen up and running with my backed up drivers! Hopefully a nice, clean (all English!) installation! I get driven mad by the recurrent chinese words throughout my OS, even though its set to English!!!
tell us about the storage used and free
I ran into another hurdle!
Got the install completed, but now, it doesnt recognise its a tablet! there are no unknown devices, so I cant install the drivers, the start button and the volume buttons do not work
---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------
I will take a look in an hour or so and let you know!
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
4.88GB of free space out of 14GB drive, but there are so many problems with drivers missing, cant see the accelerometer, touch screen, soft or hard keys, I am thinking I might just wipe it and start again...
Right, I am going for a new approach!
I am using the inbuilt UEFI recovery function, and have just reinstalled the OS, looks like its probably Windows 8.1, but what I will then do, is try reinstall, telling it to leave my files. This may sound crazy, and isnt strictly speaking a "Clean install", however, after a clean install of windows 8.1 and an upgrade to windows 10, this should be the best that can be accomplished, without having driver issues everywhere!
I will keep trying and let you know how I get on!
....EDIT... seems its just reinstalled windows 10! looks like I will have to pull out my backups and reload the tablet!
help
Hi
I also bought one of these tablet.
I would like on Windows 10 were installed, but no way to succeed.
I read the forum, but unfortunately I do not know English well.
I live in Hungary.
I can not enter BIOS. I connected a wireless keyboard + mouse pressed esc, but not having been in the BIOS.
If I bought the írásotokból, USB can not be reinstalled?
Or, if you do not clean installation somehow manages to put even works with touch screen, volume keys, gyrosensor?
There are very few places on the device ... In practice, in addition to other Windows programs can not be installed. It would be nice if bootlna USB cancel the recovery partition!
It is very annoying that some Chinese characters in the windows, and do not even like 8 system
Thank you!
PS: I wrote google translator, I hope you understand
Lipothp
I am still working on the clean install... Read on for more details.... Unfortunately it's all not going to work very well....
So I reinstated windows 8.1, tried to boot and it failed, as such I reinstalled windows 8 through its recovery tool, though I probably won't be able to do that again.
Anyway, I'm stuck now, got 5.3gb of free space and that's it. I can't progress as I can't claim more disk space. The recovery partition is more than just recovery it is actively used by windows... So if you delete that partition, Windows dies. If you try to move windows folder it will die.
The next challenge is to try move the users directory and hope it works it won't thought. Even compressing the disk space does nothing...
Lipothp, I would suggest you get a wired keyboard and connect to your tablet, go to settings, recovery, advanced and reboot. When it comes up go to troubleshoot and then the option is there for bios.
Seriously it's taken me a week to upgrade and still no closer to having everything working.

Beta 4 runs on my amd Asus machine but my wifi adapter doesnt. can anyone help me compile a recovery for computers
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
The WiFi is kinda weird but I haven't really looked into it too deep. It will not connect to my home WiFi network but it will to my neighbors and my cell phone. Go figure. I have been trying out different iso images from the many downloads but I can't fins one yet that will boot on my old dell dimensions 2400 desktop. One of the error messages that pops up is for the computer model check and of course it fails, among other things. If anyone knows of a download for an iso that will work on at least dell desktop computers, let me know.
If it's broken...beat it into submission until it works!

this is a bit off topic, but how can i restore everything from my old win7 to my new win7? I tried using the comand prompt in the recovery page, but the programs are still missing, tried just copy and pasting from windows.old folder to current windows folder, no luck.
Hi community,
I own a Toshiba Encore 8 and I am very happy with this machine, as it has a very powerful GPU. It runs games better than my notebook which has a Intel Core i5 (CPU)...

Since a long time ago I am searching for a way to run Android on it, because I want it mainly for gaming, and not work.
And before you post something like: "Put Bluestacks on it", here's my answer: Bluestacks EMULATES Android and so it runs slower than normal and it eats a huge amount of battery in a short period of time. And beside that, it doesn't want to go in fullscreen on my tablet. So please, don't post that.
I have found on the Internet, that the tablet IS capable of running android (In x86 mode)...
The tablet has an Inte Atom processor and therefore are much images on the Intel Website that I could download (https://01.org/android-ia/downloads). That's not the problem.
The problem is that when I flash a image to a stick, it won't recognize it when in UEFI BIOS.
I have tried many many sticks and external drives and no one worked. 4GB (3x), 8GB, 32GB (2x), 500GB, 1TB....
I also have tried many programs to flash those images and normal ISO files, like RUFUS, YUMI, WIN32IMAGER, UNETBOOTIN, etc...
(I've tried DD-Images from Android, X86 Android ISO Images, Ubuntu 14....)
The problem is that when I turn on the tablet and hold VOL+UP + PWR, it doesn't recognize the stick at all. When I select the stick (that has a empty description), it normally boots Windows 8.
I already have disabled Secure Boot, I already have toggled EHCI and XHCI mode, I already have turned BitLocker off, I already have upgraded the BIOS... Nothing helps...
Aaand, I already tried in Windows to select to boot from a drive... It restarts the machine, pops a UEFI message up saying that there are no drives and then it boots Widnwos 8...
Here are some pics of the problem:
Any solution will be very greatly appreciated. I'm sure that I am not the unique that want to put Android on that machine
Thanks in advance
I have the same tablet (WT8-A-102). I have tried many images from Android-X86 and have not had any problems to boot them from USB. You must use an UEFI image to be able to boot from USB. I have used different USB sticks and usually Rufus to create a UFEI bootable USB stick.
Most of the images I have tried (both Android 4 and Android 5) boot correctly but dont have support for WiFi and only shows image on external monitor. The image for T100 works best for me with image on tablet, sound, touch etc working but WiFi and physcal buttons are not working.
I have also tried AmiDUOS on the Encore. It emulates Android but is quite fast. The amout of free memory is a limitation with this solution.

How have you done this? I will greatly appreciate any instructions
I have already tried to toggle between GPT/MBR layout on Rufus and it won't recognize.
It would be very cool, if you could say which image on which site to download and which configurations that I should use on Rufus.
Thanks
I compared your screenshots with my Encore.
Boot menu Picture: If I don´t have an USB stick or an USB stick that is not UEFI bootable, my Encore looks like your screenshot. If I have an UEFI bootable USB stick, it will display name after (USB Memory: KingstonData Traveler 2.0).
BIOS settings Picture: Identical (I also have turned BitLocker off but I dont know if it is necessary.
Software that I have used to make bootable USB sticks:
sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager
I use version 0.9.5 for writing .IMG files to USB stick. No settings, just select image file, USB stick and write.
rufus.akeo.ie
I used Version 1.4.12 (Build 535) to write .ISO files to USB stick. Settings are "MBR for BIOS or UEFI", "FAT32", "4096".
I think the best image for Encore is the one for Asus T100 "android-x86-t100.img" from Android-X86 discussion group. Most of the images work, like "android-x86-4.4-r2.iso" but after boot, the image is sent to external monitor.
I have NOT found any image with working WiFi in Android yet, if anyone knows one, please post a link.
The images that you download must be 32 bit UEFI to be bootable on the Encore.

If this works, I will compile my own Android Image to work with Wi-Fi... And, of course, post a link here (If it worked)

Hi,
I have tried to put that IMG File with Win32DiskImager and IT WORKED! ( Thanks )
But, it won't boot complete...
Here some images what happened:
And then, the screen went black... And nothing happens.... nothing at all....
Have you found a image that runs the image on the internal dispay? If yes, which?
It might have the same issue Venue 8 Pros have. KMS doesn't initialize properly if it's not booted through the boot menu (if it is, GRUB will be run at the wrong resolution, and KMS is then fine).
I'm reading some (complex) tutorials to discover how to build a own Android Image based on a existing one...
First I am trying to find the image that works best for that tablet, after that I will try to modify the image...
If anyone already know which image works best, let me know... (Maybe T100?)
EDIT: I already have "disassembled" the squashfs in the img...
Wish me luck now
EDIT2: Seems that I am looking on the wrong side. Maybe @AntaresOne can help me.... Maybe...... Or just point me in the right direction....
I think the problems with no output on screen is related to the display driver. I get the same with many images (they boot and show text based information). When they switch to graphical information (the Android logo) the screen turns black. If you have an external monitor attached to your Encore (connected before you boot the USB stick), you will see Android boot and can control it from touchscreen (dfficult) or with keyboard/mouse in full HD (if your monitor supports it).
I think Asus T100 also have the option for external display and the image found here will display on Encore screen:

Alternate, search for "An update image for ASUS T100" on Android-X86 diskussion group.
I have no Linux knowledge so I have not compiled or modifyed anything, just tried images other made.
@AntaresOne doesn't want to help (He was online since the last days and I believe that he have seen this thread). He is a great guy, but I don't know why he doesn't want to help....
But anyway, I think I must post other thread in the Android Section... I can't resolve this by myself.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
Interested in how this works out, also have an encore 2
Hey! Have any news?
Many Baytrail builds at android-x86.org works with Toshiba Encore (I have WT8-A version) but not 100%. An example is "Asus T100-TA Magic Stick" (check the "win-8-development" in this forum). On most builds I have tried, the WiFi is not working. With the "Magic Stick" version on the Encore, you can use WiFi (and all apps I have tested works fine). The problem with "Magic Stick" on the Encore is that the image is sent to external display (you have to have an external monitor attached to HDMI on the Encore). There are builds that work with internal display but I have not found one build that have both internal display and working WiFi on the Encore.

Could you tell me which build is working on INTERNAL display?
THis one from android x86 project working only with external.
Guys - any updates/progress with this project?
Hi, I am also interested in this project. Have the OP been successful with the WIFI molding stuff?

No, sadly I couldn't find a image with all drivers. Anyone interested should build a image for this tablet. I already lost my faith on putting android on this.
I use the latest Android-x86 4.4-r5 (KitKat-x86) from Android from "www.android-x86.org".
WiFi, sound, graphics etc works. I have not tried Bluetooth (I use keyboard/mouse with USB hub) and some hardware buttons do not work (you have to control volume from "settings"). It is fast and stable and all apps I have tested worked fine.
There is one big problem with this build (and many other):
Your Encore must have an external display connected to HDMI port (I guess external display is default and I dont know how to change it). Maybe some parameter in grub?
There are other Android builds that work with Encore internal display but the ones I tried did not have working WiFi.
Hi! I have the same tablet and I want to install Android on it, Android 6.0.1 to be more specific. I tried the live version, but the image was transferred to an external monitor and the Wireless card wasn't recognized. Will it do any differece if I would install Android and not just try a live version?

Installing every linux based OS(Android, RemixOS, Linux Distros)
Prerequisites:
A bootia32.efi file (Found in attachments)
A copy of your favorite linux distro
Rufus, UNetbootin, or a USB disk image write of your choice.
A flash you can wipe, and boot from
A little bit of time
Step 1: Setting up
First thing you'll need to do is use your image writer to write the iso to your USB.
MAKE SURE YOU SELECTED THE RIGHT USB DRIVE!
I cannot stress this enough, if you don't want to lose everything on another flash drive, or your hard drive, check and make sure you are using the right drive letter.
Do not restart now. We need to add some files to it.
Extract bootia32.efi and copy it to /boot/efi on your flash drive.
So this was some instructions I made for booting it, but this is much more complicated than it should be. You can totally disregard this spoiler.
Step 2: Booting
Plug your USB into your nextbook (if you haven't already) and turn it on/reboot it.
As its powering on, hold ESC to get into the boot options.
Click "Boot Manager" and select your USB drive.
IF IT DOESN'T SHOW UP, FORMAT YOUR USB DRIVE TO FAT32 AND GO BACK TO STEP 1.
Now, 2 things may happen, it may boot up perfectly, and from there, just follow the steps to install.
If it doesn't boot properly, we'll need to type a few commands.
Step 2.1: Grub Command Line.
So if it doesn't boot up properly, which chances are it wont, you'll be dropped into a command line.
This is grub, if you didn't know, and to boot we need to locate the drive its on.
First press FN+Ins to turn off NumLk, then type,
Code:
linux (hd
now if you press tab, it should list everything you have attached, for example:
Code:
hd0, hd1, hd2, hd3
The usb will most likely be hd0. So now you should have
Code:
linux (hd0,
If you press tab again, it will list off all of your partitions, or autofill one in.
Now you should have either:
Code:
1. linux (hd0,msdos1)
2. linux (hd0,gpt1)
Now, if you have this, type this(replace hd0,gpt1 with what you got):
Code:
set root=(hd0,gpt1)
then type
(new)Step 2: Creating a boot file.
So, now that you have the files copied over, you need to name the drive.
Right click your drive, and click Rename... (Remember the drive name, its important)
After you renamed your drive, create a folder at DriveLetter:/boot/grub
In that directory, create a file named grub.cfg
Now depending on your linux version, you'll have either syslinux, or grub already.
If grub: The file should already be there, so you can move on to step 3.
If syslinux: Find the isolinux.cfg or syslinux.cfg (probably in /syslinux or in /isolinux)
It will look something like:
Code:
label LinuxVersion
kernel /kernelFile
append initrd=/initrdFile (more options)
We're going to use these options to create our grub.cfg file.
Use this as a template.
Code:
menuentry 'LinuxVersion' {
search --set=root --label THIS_IS_WHERE_THE_LABEL_YOU_SET_EARLIER_GOES
linux /kernelFile (more options)
initrd /initrdFile
}
Step 3: Boot into your new OS.
Reboot your PC. When it turns back on, hold ESC.
You should be brought back to the BIOS area.
Press "Boot Manager" (you will need a mouse for this), and select your USB drive.
If you did everything correctly, it should boot.
Step 4: Go wild!
You should be booted, GO CRAZY!
There are a few problems with most distros, including:
No Wifi
No Bluetooth
No Gyroscope
No Audio
There are drivers online for these, but you need to be able to patch a kernel, and build/install a driver.
Wifi
Is the guide not working?
Go ahead and ask some questions, don't be afraid of help.
Useful resources:
Ubuntu with Wifi (Source)
Thats all the links for now. I will add more as I find them (hopefully to fix audio, power button, and rotation)
Huge thanks to Ian Morrison for the Ubuntu iso.

You can't leave us hanging like this!
I'm not sure about OP here, but I have the smaller model of this device being the Flexx 10. Now I haven't tried to boot Android on it, but I have successfully booted Linux Mint with it.
First I would recommend using a USB OTG capable flash drive (they are available at office stores, walmart, and so on and so forth,) or an OTG adaptor instead of using a full sized usb. The reason for this is stability of the booted system as the connection of the keyboard dock does not appear to be extremely reliable. This may vary by model or device but I would still recommend it as you may need the full sized USB ports later.
Now instead of using Unetbootin, I used Rufus. I used the settings of GTP for efi and bios to write the image to the drive. I didn't mess with any other settings there. After that I had to get a file called bootia32.efi and then add it to the /efi/BOOT/ before the system would even try to recognize it. From there it was just waiting patiently while it booted. (use the instructions in the earlier post to get to the boot options of the UEFI) It took it a while to boot as I suspect the USB speed was rather slow.
As I didn't really have time to really mess with it and get to the point of install, I will list the issues I came across.
1: Automatic rotation of the screen did not work.
2: wifi (RTL8723BS SDIO)
3: bluetooth
4: sound
everything else seemed to work just fine though, even the volume rocker, windows button and power button on the tablet section reacted and did things. not entirely useful, but they did work.
Edit: forgot to mention that if you go through with the install, you will have to finish the install by doing some grub modifications to make it boot without a live disk. just a heads up.

Sorry I'm coming back so late, I've been busy with life.
The Wifi issue can be fixed by building the driver (https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs)
The bluetooth wont work on most OS' because it relies on some windows drivers to work.
I might be able to find a driver for screen rotation/audio.
Another issue is the power doesn't get registered, and the touch screen is VERY flaky.

I didn't really notice that power one as I did not use it long, but I think that is just an atom thing. My old n270 based aspire one does that too.
Really though, the way I would use it, I wouldn't miss screen rotation or the bluetooth, but the touch screen is the nuisance. What I noticed with it is that when the screen is forced into proper orientation (by use of screen rotation in the settings, you know without using the command line) is that the touch screen doesn't follow the new orientation correctly. It appears to have the portrait resolution set to the top left of the screen in landscape. That said, it works fine in portait. Or at least managably.

Well, I decied to try and boot remixOS, and it works VERY well, so does android-x86 5.0
That being said, audio is a glaring issue.
When you tried Remix OS and say it worked very well. What do you mean? What actually worked? Obviously audio is what doesn't since you mentioned it. But am I to assume that screen rotation works as expected then?
I'm not willing to use REMIX OS personally as the whole android bit is a limiting factor to me. Unless it rooted of ccourse. but even then some of my prefered uses for Linux is lost.
Also hows the hardware acceleration?
How do I install the x64 version of Windows? I downloaded the ISO with the Media Creation Tool and it won't boot from the USB drive. I enabled USB booting and made sure secure boot was off, but it's not working. It keeps saying there's no USB device available.
Unfortunately due to the way that Windows works, the 64 bit version is not usable due to the bootloader difference. Even though the hardware of the device is capable of 64 bit code execution, the 32 bit UEFI Bootloader will only allow a 32 bit version of Windows or a 64 bit version of Linux with some EFI fiddling. And as far as I know there is not a way to fiddle with the EFI related workings of a Windows ISO so 64 bit Windows is not possible on these Nexbook devices or others with similar hardware (Asus t100 is a good example of similar device)

That's really dumb. Most Windows devices are 64-bit nowadays. Why would they put in a 64-bit processor but not allow x64 operating systems?
You're guess is as good as mine on that one. Ask Microsoft on that one. They used the 32 bit version because Microsoft will only give the "Windows XX (originally 8.1) with bing 32bit for free. Which keeps the device cost down. Kinda hard to to sell a cheapskate device when it ends up costing as much as a better speced laptop.
Where can I find recovery images for this? I messed up and now I don't have audio or touchscreen drivers.
You can try this web site from Efun themselves
http://nextbookusa.com/recovery/index.html That is their official recovery download site.
(apparently I can post links...)

I tried that. It says there's no recovery option for this model....
Do you have this tablet? Do you think you could do a driver backup and upload it here? Or create a recovery image and share it?

Thank you for creating this new thread.
I'm still waiting for my X16 Power to arrive, it's going to be my first dual boot device. Happy to see that the X98 Pro rooting method works and worried to hear that there is a wakelock issue that seems difficult to fix.

Android is easily customizable and partially pre-rooted. (adb runs already as root and you can push files to system without having to manually root the system). I had to uninstall it due to some reasons such as buggy Stylus recognition, annoying otg wakelock and disk space hungry.
With a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro the tablet works absolutely great without any issue, even better than how it was with the original Windows installation.

Sorry to hear that you have uninstalled Android, I was hoping that you could provide info about its implementation on the X16. I really love Android and I think I can't live without it...
Now that you have made a clean installation of Windows 10, does the system still have the thermal throttling issues described in TechTablets.com?
Looking forward to learning interesting stuff from you.

I don't have enough time to support Android also on this device (as you can see, i'm already supporting other devices) so it was useless for me.
About the throttling issue, it seems that CPU doesn't throttle a lot now. Unfortunately on Windows (it should be Driver related) CPU gets throttled at just 85C, while on Android at 90C. That's what makes Windows a bit slower while running CPU/GPU Hungry software.

You just need to press (multiple times is better) the DEL key as soon as the Tablet turns on. You can use the Keyboard Cover if you have one or a USB Keyboard to get into it.
Hey thanks for this thread I picked up one of these tablets early on Dec. I was wondering if you know howhow, if all possible, to resize the windows / android partition ?

Thanks for the reply. If I could run an Android emulator to run the few apps I use I'd use the tablet exclusively with Win10. Do you have a guide on how to remove android and just windows 10?
Also have you experienced graphics drivers crashing on a fresh install of win10? I get it nearly every boot where when windows boots up to the desktop the screen goes black then after a couple of seconds it tells me the graphics drivers have recovered from a crash.

I'm experiencing some crashes too, but not on every boot. It happens so rarely that sometimes i forget about it. Current BIOS isn't completely stable, so we have to deal with it and wait for Teclast's "magic".
Thanks for the help I'll try it this evening. About the firmware updates I only see the teclast app on the Android side, is there a Windows equivilant for updating the firmware?

Thats wrong.
After i have delete all windows system ,Recovery partitons and the MSR.
then its possible to install windows 10 cleanly from USB Stick without a error.
but after that, the Tablet boot only in Windows.
I go into Bios, Change OS typ to Android, and voila, the dualbootask open.
it works great by me.

i had the same issue. dont paste the drivers directly to windows folder. open device manager and install drivers for intel HD graphics and I2C touch controller and touch will start working. for rotation need to install bosch accelorometer drivers
Memory problem
I was told Memory 32 GB expandable upto 500 GB. How can it be expanded? It looks there is no room for HDD of 500 GB. Windows 10 was unable to update due to low space ie less than 4 GB, Windows needs 5 GB space.
In Android they gave 8 GB ROM for me. They said 32 GB ROM, atleast I understood in that way. I didn't know Windows 10 also was there, dual boot.

Approach 1 : (recommended)
Download the Driver package and unzipe it your PC then Right click on Start Menu-> Click on Device manager
Right Click on any unknown driver -> Click on Update Driver Software -> click on Browse My computer for Driver software -> Browse the location that you unzip the zip fle ( check include subfolders ) -> click next -> finish -> Restart the tablet
Approach 2 :
copy and paste the inside of driver package ( Drivers folder and Driverstore folder ) to windows-> system32

My hands on experience
Please do not try based on the info available in this site/thread regarding installation of Windows, installation of Android, unless further progress is there because of the following hands on experience.
1) The tablet is manufactured by little known company, hence not much development support can be expected.
2) the company is having only one service center at mumbai, they are not ready to share windows drivers or android files through downloads.
3) This looks like laptop but they say it is a tablet with keyboard, hence it is similar to phone with so many secrete partitions and files.
4) It has UEFI type BIOS only, (No legacy BIOS), it has 32 bit only hardware, it does not popular other hardware chips hence it is difficult to get worked open android OS or windows drivers* . (further I suspect it might have locked Bootloader this is the point i have missed before my attempt)
I have backed up all the 17 partitions and restored back with Easeus To Do back up (so far other image backup software are not even working on this type of environment). I have backed up various methods , as some problem i was anticipating (like Partition backup, Disk Back Up (sector by sector method), System Back up & Disk Clone while it was running OK )
But on requirement , when restoration was done with partition backup (as My windows was not booting , not resetting, not restoring , vendors asks to send it back to Mumbai)
windows problem was not solved but android was intact. when tried System restore, windows problem solved but android not booting, when disk clone restore attempted nothing was booting. when restore from Disk back up was done only windows was restoring. Hence they have locked somewhere.
I have tried to install Android -x86 5x it is 32 bit but not EFI compatible . No other s like 4.4, 6.0 etc is successful (these are installed at c drive, not same as manufacturer provided which hides in some partition )
In view of this , if windows corrupts and becomes non bootable , only Windows 10 32 bit UEFI version may be installed as per the procedure specified at initial [But screen auto rotation does not work, OS Switch is missing but we can go to bios (esc key to be pressed while booting) switch OS-but the may considered minor ]
In my case i have expanded my disk to full 28GB for Windows 10 and backup copy of OS and all imp programs like WinOffice etc & settings are stored (8GB) on my SD Disk of 32GB, which I also made bootable and selectable from BIOS. If any major corruption of windows occurs, as always saves my data on SD card, it can be temporarily removed and important work will be backed up, tablet can be restored in 40 min at click.
UEFI bios reset blind method
After some setting change in advanced video menu the screen blank
To reset / to load defaults we have to follow actual steps in blind method.
Press ESC key when you feel it is starting
Left left enter
F9 enter to load defaults
F10 enter to save
The following mentioned at Cube iWork 10 ultimate dual boot rooting at techtablets
please note that no matter what backup software you use, if you restore the entire disk image (specifically, the android partitions) android will NOT boot anymore. This is because Cube (or rather, their ODM) enabled dm-verity so the system detects that it has been “tampered” and just hangs at boot. to fix that you should reflash the official android image with the files provided by Cube, or use a modified boot.img (see rooting section)
Hey there guys, just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as me, I have the TWG ces 101, pretty much the same tablet but with a different bios, I am having a weird issue with the touch screen, it worked fine before I nuked windows attempting to install android x86, and upon installing windows again and finally getting all the drivers working again, the touch screen is going crazy, every touch registers as it being somewhere entirely different from where you have touched, some spots on the screen when touched show up as 2 fingers on 2 random parts of the screen etc, I have tried calibrating to no avail as I cant even click where it asks me to, I have tried multiple versions of the driver (which I only found through a driver search program called SDI and right clicking it and searching the part number on microsofts download database (as it came up as unknown device and had no name)
not sure what else to really try...its driving me a bit batty

I had the same kind of issue. So download the file from here:
.4shared.com/get/Z5OVkZNyba/Drivers_TWG10_.html
Extract the content in the rar file. Using a mouse browse the contents of the folder and open Drivers > HIDClass > KMDF HID Minidriver for Touch I2C Device
Right click oem24 file and select install.
Once done, touch screen will be alright
