I'm desperately trying to install "Windows 8 Release Preview x64", but it asks me these files:
spwizimg.dll
spwizres.dll
installprep.exe
Probably they have been downloaded badly. Having to re-download 3.5 gb setup is quite heavy, because I live in an area where the use of the network is rather difficult. If you have installed "Windows 8 Preview Release x64 English", could you pass me those files? They are all in the folder called "Sources", which is in the iso file.
You have a PM...
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
Windows 10 has been released today. I wanna download this ISO: en_windows_10_multiple_editions_x64_dvd_6846432.iso
I am not an MSDN subscriber neither do I wanna use that $hitty Microsoft tool from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Is there any mirror for that file out there? Has somebody downloaded the ISO already? Mind sharing? Please?
Also, I have genuine Windows 7 pro that came with the PC and I have the product key. Will the key work for Windows 10 pro? Since Windows 10 is a "free" upgrade, I guess it would work?
Check out my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/windows-10-download-links-t3169969
here is the link to pro 64 read my thread for others... http://fg.ds.b1.download.windowsupd..._9d40e15f430ab89a1eabb165acbf40c9f07d18bb.esd
Nothing ****ty about the tool. It will allow you to do a direct upgrade, which ive done flawlessly to 5 different systems. Also allows you to download the iso of your choice.
You must upgrade to get your key for Windows 10 after which you may wipe and do a clean install.

Don't mess around with this, just get the .ISO file directly from Microsoft with Home/Pro edition in same ISO without the tool here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench
Download windows 10 Insider Build iSO file from Microsoft link here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewadvanced
Right click on the downloaded ISO file and click on Mount.
A new folder will open, click on setup.exe.
The installation/Update/Upgrade process will start immediately.
If you would like to prepare an installation media for easy installation on another Pc, you can follow the steps here.
You should know that this is a preview build of windows 10 and it is released for insiders in the fast ring. Though you can also install it if you are not an insider, but you will have to stay on insider builds.
When the Windows 10 May 2019 Update is ready for your device, it will be available to download from the Windows Update page in Settings. Choose a time that works best for you to download the update. You'll then need to restart your device and complete the installation. After that, your device will be running Winwdos 10, version 1903. (To check whether you're already running the May 2019 Update, select View update history on the Windows Update settings page.) Also note the following:
-If you want to install the update now, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update , and then select Check for updates. If updates are available, install them.
-If version 1903 isn't offered automatically through Check for updates, you can get it manually through the Update Assistant.
-If you run into problems updating your device, including problems with previous major updates, see common fixes at Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10, or use Fix Windows update issues to step you through the troubleshooting process.
-If you're warned by Windows Update that you don't have enough space on your device to install the update, see Free up space.
-If you experience internet connection issues while updating your device, see Fix network connection issues in Windows.
I want to inform you that it is an auto-formation so when its updates are available then you will know it already. But remember that you are connected to the internet.
Windows 10 1909 available?
version 1903? The latest version is Windows 10 1909 already. I still have one laptop remained with Windows 7. I'm in dilemma, upgrade or not. Microsoft doesn't leave us too much to think about this. I win the free windows 10 home operating system (priced at $139) from WinXDVD lest I upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10 someday.

There are four builds with 1909, latest is 18363.628, which some have problems, maybe hold off until newer. As for 7 to 10, if you have ssd do it, so much faster with it over hdd and usally you can find drivers or use a 7 driver. If you don't have a win 7 ISO maybe mirror copy in case you want to revert. Not sure if I'm allowed to say this but you can run win 10 pro or enterprise, there is no hack like with 7 and the slic table but 10 has a flaw with it's KMS key management service.
