Winbook TW801 Windows 10 clean install fail
I have decided to do a Winbook TW801 Windows 10 clean install fail.
I had upgraded to Windows 10 using the option to save all files and settings
to check out Microsoft’s new operating system Windows 10.
I have been using Windows 10 on my Winbook TW801 tablet for two weeks now
and the OS is a more finished product than any of the previous unified Windows operating
systems. Windows 8 and 8.1. Microsoft’s move to allow the user the option of
tablet or desktop mode is a appreciated approach especially for desktop users.
Now the free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 home user and the SAAS or software as a service
model now being deployed by Microsoft is something I am not comfortable with at this time.
That being said I have decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my Winbook TW801.
My setup to perform the operating system installation
I am using a Mac keyboard that has two usb ports i an using one of those ports
to connect a mouse. The other usb port I will use for the usb thumb drive that has the Microsoft Windows 10 upgrade software installed.
To begin with Windows 10 running go to
Settings
recovery
Advanced
Start from Device
Restart
Start from USB-HDD
Select language and country
Next
Skip Product key
After reboot
Skip Product Key select Do this Later then next
At the next screen you need to input info
I select Custom Settings rather than Express Settings and turn off all the tracking related apps
Next it asks for a Microsoft account. You can use an existing Microsoft account
or create one or you can go toward the bottom of the screen and look for Skip this step and create
a local account.
Enter
user name
Enter
Password
Click next and you will see.
The This won’t take long screen appears.
Setting up your apps
Taking care of a few things.
On first boot after the Install of Windows 10
Things I’ve noticed
Touch is not working, good thing I have a keyboard and mouse attached.
Doing an update now.
First Windows update complete still no touch and no sound.
Checking for updates again.
Hmmm? Taking a long time checking for updates
I have now been at this for one and a half hours.
Finally, finished with the updates but the tablet is not functioning correctly.
Many missing drivers, touch , and sound still don’t work. Got a message that the
Intel display driver update failed.
Well this clean install went sideways and now the Winbook TW 801 is all most useless.
I have tried going back to Windows 8.1 using a recovery USB I created but I’m stuck in a recovery loop.
Update, I have chatted with Micro Center online support and was told to take the tablet back
to a Micro Center store for re-imaging.
I will pick up my adventure doing a Winbook TW801 Windows 10 clean install fail with a new post and my experience at
the Micro Center store.
