Are you trying to install Win 10 while booted in Win 7? I tried to upgrade this way too (on a desktop computer) and it was a nightmare, took almost 5 hours and failed each time. Ive downloaded the Win 10 ISO from MS's website, created and bootable usb stick using Rufus and made a clean install of Win 10 and everything worked fine and only took about 15 mites to install.
Make sure to create your bootable media correctly i.e: if you have BIOS motherboard, create a bootable media using MBR partition, if you have a UEFI motherboard, create it using GPT partition.
Boot in your BIOS/UEFI and change the boot devices priority so the computer boot from the usb stick and not the hard drive. then reboot.
Should now be booted in the installation menu
Go ahead and install windows, dont forget to backup your important files if doing a clean install.
Be sure to have your Win7 CD key so you can activate you Win10 installation.

There you have it kumar, will just have to seconded alray. Download the ISO file online from sites like getintopcdot.com and create a USB installation media using rufus. Then try installing again, also make sure you upgrade to version of windows 7 you are using so you can have an activated version of windows 10. I mean if you are currently running windows 7 home, download and install windows 10 home or if you using windows 7 pro, download and install windows 10 pro.

[Q] Windows 8 RTM WIFI Problem!

For last 2 weeks i tried to make WIFI work on Windows 8 Pro RTM, but nothing....I installed,replaced drivers, tried some hacks but still nothing. :crying:

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...

Can't install Windows 10 Technical Preview

I can't install Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Samsung RV509 laptop (Core i5 and 6Gigs of RAM). I tried doing a clean install, and once I boot from the flash stick It gets stuck on the Windows logo and the loading dots doesn't appear, so I tried to do an upgrade from Windows 7 and once it restarts it gets stuck on the windows logo and doesn't load after that (I tried both 32 and 64bit versions) then i get the error 0xC1900101-0x20017. So I tried to install it inside a virtual machine and i tried another machine,and it did install just fine. I tried everything I can from trying to launch the setup from the command prompt but still once it restarts it gets stuck on the windows logo. I'm not sure what do I need to do to get it to install and boot. I've tried with every single build since the insider program started till 9926.
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thank you.
I think you didn't really tried a clean install, since you wrote that you've tried to upgrade later. Clean install means you erase all traces of previous system installation. Also, it's good to delete all partitions. Maybe you're hard disk is MBR formatted and Windows 10 requires GPT (just a suggestion, I'm not sure about that).
Secondly, are you trying an UEFI install? I've had Win10 for a couple of months now but I remember having problems with starting UEFI installation from USB stick. To do this, you have to change partition layout on usb stick to GPT, then make new primary partition, format it to FAT32 and copy all files from install iso to usb stick. Then you can start your install in UEFI mode and I think this will help you. Just remember to delete all partitions and let Windows create new partition layout for you, this way it will create EFI partition.
If the installer says it can't create partitions in UEFI mode, you will have to change partition layout to GPT by yourselft. You can put your hdd in a PC and use a Windows based tool (search google) or maybe some Linux LiveCD will let you do that without removing your hdd.
All I did was just use demon tools and install over my w7. It installed as Uefi. Don't like it and w10 gave me an option on restart to roll back my system. I did and went back to w7.
You shouldn't use Daemon Tools to install Windows from an ISO. If Windows needs to reference a file inside the Install.wim folder on the disc for any reason, that copy will fail as the disc it's using is not a physical disc, but a virtual one that the new installation has no knowledge of. The best way to install Windows from an ISO is to copy the ISO to a flash drive or to the local hard disk and run setup that way, or use Rufus to create a bootable USB media for installing. That could be related to your error codes.
Thank you sanshinron for your reply. I always do a clean install for windows, the only reason that i tried to upgrade is that the setup didn't even load when booting from a USB stick (stuck on the windows logo). The USB stick was created using Microsoft's "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool". The same stick loads fine on other PCs. I will try to do what you suggested with the USB stick and give it another try.

I installed UEFI without a problem, is there a reason your set on GPT?
I tried everything with the USB drive and it just installs fine on other pcs. I guess this could be because of hardware not supported yet by Microsoft in the current windows 10 builds. I found many people having the same issue. I just hoped there could be a fix to get the installer to start
I encountered same boot-hang problem when clean installing Win 8.1, and Win 10 shouldn't be different. My solutions:
Post-install boot-hang: The hang at logo boot happens when I don't format the install-to partitition with Win 8.1 installer (I normally partition/format using another tool, to skip the redundant WinRE partition that Win creates). Formatting with the installer allows the boot to complete (you can still keep the original partitioning).
Pre-install boot-hang: Some PCs are idiosyncratic with USB boot; likewise, some USB sticks are "different" from others. I found that using DiskPart to partition & format the USB stick (like a HDD) works when Rufus & straight formatting wouldn't. This, admittedly from a small sample set of one particular problematic combo. Simpler is just try to use different USB sticks.

This error indicates an update issue.
Try this:
- Ingersoll mini tool partition wizard
- check your disk type
If it's GPT,
- download minitool portable ISO and burn on USB with UUI.
- boot to the application and convert GPT to MBR
- Format the C: partition or wherever the previous windows was installed
- then overwrite it with win10
If it's UEFI change it from the bios. Turn off secure boot and everything.
Try and let me know.

Tried it, but still the same issue.
Then turn off safe boot and try format the whole disk and start Windows installation from scratch?
Only if you want Windows 10 badly and are ready to sacrifice your data.

Tried it, but it didn't work. I think this could be an issue with a hardware that is not supported yet by the preview. I guess i'll have to wait for that to change in next builds.

[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

No Playstore!! Browser does not download files!!!
So after wasting 400mb of data and roughly 30 minutes of my time, I discover that there is no preinstalled PlayStore, the preinstalled browser will not download APKs and trying to install apps from the online MarketPlace only discovers devises that the email used to Sign In with is associated to, not the device this is installed on.
These things SHOULD by all ethical means be stated in the description to prevent others from wasting both their time as well as their data.
I want to see a solution to these problems Shanmukarajan. Should you decide to neglect this issue, I won't hesitate to have this post reported to the moderators.
Thank you in advance for your prompt support on the matter.

It’s installs fine but when restarts windows is just starting every time and it’s not coming up with step 12 asking me about windows partition and creating boot item
I performed the installation process about 10 times with different settings but none of them seem to install Android on my HDD. The live version works and there are no errors whatsoever, but even after installation there is never an option to boot the installed Android. Only live, debug or again option to install the OS.

Have you tried selecting yes to GRUB 2 during installation? It's been a little while since I went through the process, but I believe that was what I had to do to get it up and running.

Yeah I have the same issue with my Sony VAIO Duo 11. To start from power off I have to hit the special Duo Assist button, then F11 to boot from usb, then go thru the (re) install every time, so boot takes a couple of minutes, but it always bring me back to the same great working Android with all apps and setting unchanged. I don't understand, but I just happened onto it. Be sure to not format or install any grub (not really sure about grub or grub2), but yes to make it writeable. Then you get an awesomely fast Android.
I don't even want Windows on that machine, but I'm afraid to kill all the partitions and start from scratch as the Duo has some weird builtin Windows boot stuff hard wired. I'm not sure if Android could boot without the Windows partitions.
When I am creating a new partition with 16 GB of space does it mean that Android is going to use just this partition and 16 GB or is it just for the installation files and Android will see my whole HDD as the internal storage?

Did you change the boot sequence in bios? Select android to boot 1st, then Grub should ask you which os you want to launch. I installed grub 2. I also went with the triple boot. My laptop is an Asus x401a with windows 7. Along with ubuntu and android. x86 Nougat.

I installed it alongside a windows 7 ultimate.
Gave it an 80gb Partition (fat32)
So I'm planning a dual boot here.
Here's my Steps:
used rufus to create bootable from android-x86-8.1-r1.iso
booted to Flash drive
installed android to 80gb partition (with grub/windows boot entry/ and data image of 2048MB)
after installation, Reboot to test boot options
grub didn't show up, booted directly to win7
Did some researches, and from those researches I should disable SECURE BOOT, but bios don't have that option.
Also tried EasyUEFI Tool which didn't even work in windows 7
Also, no settings for UEFI or Legacy.
Boot Order doesn't show Windows bootmanager or grub too, only HDD....
I installed android in ASUS Eee Notebook Laptop 1201b
I think the only problem here is grub cant load, but I run out of solutions, so here I am asking for help.
every android on work fine in my tablet(z3735f) but there is a bug in every os no sound in headphone any one tell me how to fix it

You can use installation media (a USB flash drive or DVD) to install a new copy of Windows, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10.
After you've created the installation media, you can reset or reinstall Windows. To learn more, go to Recovery options in Windows 10.

Windows S mode is locked in BIOS i think. I create new USB, remove all partition, create, new, format whole disk and after fresh install I have again Windows Home with S mode. Last time I had to unlock bios to perform install Windows pro.
Another method is download iso, extract it, remove Windows home image and pack it again, create USB and fresh install.
It worked few year ago and I believe it will work now.
Edit: Removing other Windows image from installaction doesn't work.
Edit 2: I don't remember how to mod and unlock bios. But after few full clean reinstalls I break S mode without ms login. Next I upgraded OS version with change product key (from ebay). I'm not sure it's the right way for my pcs, but it's enough for my clients. I think the only right way is mod bios and unlock slic.
