[Q] Nextbook and windows 8 - Windows 8 General

I apologize for being in the wrong place for my question ....
In short , I have a nextbook 8 that I just installed windows embedded 8.1 industry enterprise on via usb flash drive. Now the problem is I have 5 "unknown hardware" issues , including no network adapter drivers that work. Nextbook website is useless. Please help point me in the right direction.
thank you
p.s......Now I am really stuck. There is no operating system on this nextbook and none of my present versions of win 8 will install, not even the one I had just put on it. The recovery partition is hidden ( I guess by default ) and there's no way to access it without a working o.s. . The usable part of the drive/storage is formatted but has no o.s.

Allready done that, i can see my wirelles device but can't install the driver..that method is not confirmed in final version of windows 8..
UP ....nobody?
Well..i got it working..my mastake was that i upgraded from windows 7 and not doing a fresh install of windows 8...
Almost have it working, but whenever i reboot, i need to delete my wifi and readd it and it will work (pain, but im starting to like the windows 8 on this compared to windows 7).

I got the patches from post #64. You need to boot windows 8 into command line to copy these files. It was the only way I could get them copied anyway (forgot which file it was, but one would not copy unless I did it from the command line).
ok, just need to disable it then enable it and it works...

[HOW TO] KFHD 7 MTP Driver Problem Windows 7 N Version

Hey there,
I found a solution for the MTP-Driver issue under Windows 7 N Edition.
A few days ago I bought a new SSD Drive for my Desktop.
So i decided to install a fully new Windows on it, cause my windows 7 x64 was about 4 years in use now and doesnt worked reliable.
I decided to give Windows 7 N Version a try, cause it comes without some futures i thought i would not need.
ATM I use this KF First Aide with my KFHD 7
Installation of the ADB Driver worked without a problem, but i still got the yellow triangle on MTP Driver.
Tried then to install the driver manually using windows update. it didnt find a driver for MTP.
Tried to install the MTP device manualy selecting MTP Device in the "all devices" list (Standard MTP Device).
But this didnt work either.
After hours of searching i found a thread that led me to this :
As promised by Microsoft the N Version comes WITHOUT the Windows Media Player.
But as it seams the Windows Media Player contains the MTP Driver.
For god sake microsoft provides a pack to install it manually Media Feature Pack für Windows 7 N
This works of course only with original Windows as u have to pass a Genuine Verification to download it.
After installing the pack. The windows update found 2 other updates. i got them too and restarted my system. Now the triangle is gone. And my KFHD is recognised as Portable Device and everything works fine.
Dunno weather it will work with other Windows 7 Versions.

This is just ridiculous..
I have Windows 8.1 N Pro installed and can't use either, because it is missing the MTP driver. The fact that i have to install the Media Feature Pack to use a fundamental feature of my PC is just F***** UP! It is just Microsoft's way of giving the finger to the EU, and it makes the N-version completely useless.
But i refuse to install Windows Media Player and all that other crap just to use my Nexus 5 with my new laptop. If i have to write to the EU to try and make them force Microsoft to make the driver available as a standalone install, i will. This is just principally wrong of Microsoft, but really not surprising.
If people would just boycot Microsoft they might learn. But that will never happen, unfortunately..

[GUIDE] Install Windows 10 on TW800/801

I offered myself to do a guide to install Windows 10 on the Winbook TW800/801, this might work for the others too and even for other tablets, however.
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR TABLET OR THE WORLD.
This guide is very tedious but it will payoff in the long run, I regret nothing and I will not comeback to Windows 8/8.1.
-Requirements:
2 - USB Stick: 16GB or more. Why 2?: I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong, I will explain later why.
USB Hub with USB Keyboard and USB Mouse
A brain?
I will simplify the guide, later I will make a longer one, and see if more devices work.
Step 1. Do the gansta rap. Go to Control Panel > Backup and Restore.
Step 2. When asked rock and plug in one of the USB then make the HDD backup.
Step 3. With the second USB Stick now make a backup of Windows folder.
Step 4. Extract the Windows 10 ISO (recommended builds 10041 or 10049) in the C:/ Disk
Step 5. Enter the extracted Windows 10 folder, then enter > Source
Step 6. Execute the Setup.exe in the source folder, not the one outside that folder or else it will give you error.
Step 7. Follow all the normal steps to install Windows, it will not give you the option to format but it will let you install it.
Step 8. After it is installed nothing will work, this is where the USB Hub / Keyboard and Mouse will give be of use.
Step 9. After plugging the USB Hub / Keyboard and Mouse also put the USB Stick where the Windows folder is located.
Step 10. Go to Device Manager and then all the devices with ? or ! go to them and update drivers, use specific location and put the location where the old Windows folder is.
Step 11. Repeat the same for all devices even for all the devices that are working fine without any symbol, same goes for graphic.
Step 12. ENJOY!, now unplug everything touch and WiFi/Bluetooth and anything else should be working.
I will update the guide in some more hours to add more information.

I don't have any Lumia phone that I could try it on, sorry mate.
Thanks but it didn't work for the TW800 I'm missing hard drive space on this POS and it won't let me do it off of removable media either. Sucks looks like I'm stuck with 8.1 for ever.
I successfully installed windows 10 on my TW-801 with the free windows 10 download and everything works perfect. I went directly to Microsofts website and first installed internally - I had to install it twice the second time via the sdcard image so it does not ask you for the product key. I am also running Ubuntu via VMWare virtual machine on this tablet. Windows 10 is so much better than 8.1 on this tablet. Also when you download windows 10 it gives you the option of 32 or 64 bit. I just installed the 32 bit since the stock 8.1 was 32 bit - but I am wondering since it is a 64 bit processor if you can install the 64 bit version.

The 1511 build installer won't finish on the WinBook tablets. You should use the installer from July 29th to get Windows 10 on it, then let it update itself to 1511.
how you can fix touchscreen and gaerometer drivers? I have win10 on my TW800 but only work with keboard and mouse and vertical postion. Any drivers you have for those too becasue rest is working better than 8.1
so how i can fix it? Microcenter said they are not supporting Windows 10 rollback to Windows 8.1 but which version or where i can find drivers they are not helping too.
Thanks @TravisAntonio !
For anyone still fooling with the TW801, I'm about to find out if I can fresh install the latest Windows 10 (otherwise using these instructions), however, if build 1903 still has the same installation problem that 1511 evidently had, Dell has a webpage here where they give direct Microsoft hosted download links to the 32 and 64-bit versions of the MediaCreationTool for build 1507. Note that even if you want to download the 32-bit version but you're doing it on a 64-bit PC, you want the 64-bit MediaCreationTool - you can still download the 32-bit ISO from the 64-bit tool. I can confirm that although the size of the build 1507 ISO doesn't match up with the sizes listed on Dell's site (same link as above), the size is close enough - possibly the tool is downloading the very last, most up to date build 1507 ISO.
The direct Microsoft hosted download links for the build 1507 MediaCreationTools are:
x86: MediaCreationTool
x64: MediaCreationTool64
Once I get around to actually fooling with the tablet again, I'll post an update regarding which fresh install build I had to use.

Thanks for share me such information. I am also using window 10 64 bit version.
Well, some great news. I followed the directions but with a very recent build 1903 of Windows 10 x86, downloaded 8/17/2019 - MD5 of the ISO was A9E0929B411E18867F6A630A8C4731FD (I'm giving the MD5 because one x64 ISO I downloaded just three weeks prior would never work correctly on my regular PC but the x64 ISO I downloaded the following week has worked perfectly.
Possibly very important: First, I didn't have to use the Setup.exe in the Sources folder - I used the main Setup.exe, I unchecked the option to keep personal files and apps, and I allowed it to download all updates and drivers. No idea if that made any difference, but it's what I did.
The bad news is I think my USB port is busted - I was hoping a fresh Windows install would fix the problem but alas it's probably because the tablet hit the floor last week. Devices get some power but as you can see in the screenshot attached of Device Manager within a minute of logging into the new Windows installation for the first time, all device drivers are installed but when I plug anything into the USB port, I get the "Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)" error. Port worked fine 4-5 months and possibly more recently but the tablet fell on the floor last week so guessing that's why it's not working.
It's a good thing the drivers loaded on their own since I couldn't even use a USB keyboard and mouse. I don't know if the MicroUSB port is actually a proper USB port as well, but first, it's wonky already - the power cable has to have pressure coming from underneath it to tilt it a little "down" into the port in order to charge, and so far with any MicroUSB adapter, I haven't gotten any regular USB devices to work through it.
Cheers!
Edit: Forgot to mention that when Windows was booting the first time after the install was complete, it eventually froze on some kind of progress screen (immediately before the OOBE). The tablet screen would still both timeout and go dark and respond to power button presses but would still have the progress circle frozen. I believe I was still able to get to a shutdown menu, if I remember correctly, and shut down the tablet, after which I was able to start it back up and boot fully up without a hitch.
Also note that I had a small fan blowing on the back of the tablet all along
Great write,thanks for sharing

Need help, venue 8 pro missing hard disk error. possible windows re-installation?

Hello guys, my brother had this tablet for a short period of time and he upgraded it to windows 10, everything was fine but then he wanted to revert back to windows 8.1 so he wiped everything. After that nothing worked, he kept getting a partition error (missing partition) and could not do anything about it. He gave me the tablet in hopes of fixing it so i got a fresh copy of windows 8.1 from the microsoft downloader and put it on a pen drive. I also used to tool to make it into a bootable storage space and even injected the drivers from the CAB from the dell website using NTlite, but every time i start the setup the touch screen doesn't work (so i used a keyboard) and it also says media driver is missing. When i start the tablet without the usb i get missing hard disk error and can only access the BIOS and diagnostics check (shows no errors there).
This community has helped me before, hopefully they can help me again because i can't seem to wrap myself around the problem
