Fixing Windows on a Tablet...

Loadage

Posted (edited)

This is a weird problem that I am having, so my dad broke his tablet awhile back installing windows 10 on the thing so now the touch screen, the Bluetooth, and the WiFi drivers do not work. I just did a system reset on the thing to see if that would fix it but to no avail. I also tried updating the drivers from many sources but none of them work. From what I can tell the drivers will only work on windows 8.1 but there is a problem, the bios will not let me boot from an external device (it detects the USB but will not load it)

Does anyone have any ideas to solve the problems with the drivers or the operating system problem?
 

Tablet:

Voyo (A15 i think?) its some Chinese brand
Bios:
American Megatrends Bios Version 2.16.1242

 

Drivers & Issues:
I2C HID Device

 Dependencies:

  ACPI\80860F41\1

  ACP\INT33FC\3

-this device cannot start (code 10)

operation failed: the requested operation was unsuccessful  

 

Bluetooth Radio

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)

 

Oh and it cant detect the battery. (Its being used but windows just cant see it)

do these device work in anouther os like linux? Try putting a fresh copy of 64bit on there.

i will try upgrading to 64 bit first. I have not tried with linux because of the usb boot issue

How did you make the bootable USB? Can other computers boot off that USB?

This usb has been tested with several computers and they do work. I also tried with a different usb but no success.

I formatted the USB using the diskpart tool in CMD

Then i took an Iso of windows extracted the files and dropped them in to the USB
 

I know for sure that the USB is not the problem as I have used it with at least 20 machines before this tablet.

Can not connect to the network because of driver issues and the there is no network boot option in bios

Sometimes computers are stupid and don't like a particular was of setting up a USB. Use Rufus and select it to generate a bootable USB by selecting your windows ISO and USB drive you want to install it on.

Finally got back to the tablet problem i just tired running windows 10 64 bit installer and that does not work (app wont run on device)

what format is the usb? fat32 or ntfs? i remember i did this for a few Microsoft surfaces before, usb had to be FAT32

I do not believe that its a problem with the USB formatting (as i have done this my self and as well as using Rufus)

 

I will also be posting pictures of the bios to give people a better idea of what I am dealing with.

Probably something to do with secure boot something like that? Try disabling it and reenabling it once windows 10 was reinstalled from the usb

As ridiculous as it may sound, when you made the USB drive with Rufus, did you made it UEFI only? Not MBR hybrid which is Rufus default, but pure UEFI/GPT only mode. I've found that small quirk on my Cube i7 book when downgrading 10 to 8.1, which can be annoying. And for drivers try using Snappy driver installer, that may be your best bet https://sdi-tool.org/

Just tried with the settings that you suggested on Rufus but still can not boot from the drive. I will be trying snappy when i can get the tablet to boot again (i may have botched something)

Tried SDI and it cant find any drivers "device requires a driver but wasn't found in driver packs"

maybe the USB port of that device is the problem? I had a similar problem before, thought it was the USB drive, turned out that my USB ports were the problem.

I was thinking that too but i am able to use devices with both ports (Mouse, keyboard, WiFi dongles, and thumb drives)
