====== Notes about the Teclast X98 Plus ====== These are some notes about this dual OS tablet. ===== Important ===== DO NOT do a Windows refresh. It stalls and Windows becomes unbootable. ==== Windows 10 Recovery ==== The tablet can boot from a bootable UEFI external USB drive for Windows installation. * UEFI bootable drives MUST be FAT (FAT32) * Although [[https://rufus.akeo.ie|Rufus]] can be used, no special tool is necessary (and it actually forced my drive to NTFS format for Windows installation, so I ended up creating a FAT32 partition manually and copying the files) * USB HDDs can be used. * The USB drive must be powered, either use an HDD with wall plug or a powered USB hub. In theory, a clean version of Windows should be installable, drivers can be found at [http://techtablets.com/teclast-x98-plus/downloads/|techtablets]].

The official image is just a RAR archive of the installation media contents. Copy it to a clean UEFI-bootable FAT32 drive and it should work. Fire installation by entering the BIOS (from power off, Volume UP + Power), go to //Save & Exit// and select to //Boot override// with the flash drive (listed as Android...-Your drive name) ===== References ===== * [[http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/new-win10-files-from-teclast/|New Win10 files from teclast ! for Plus/Plus 3G (A5C8)]] * [[http://techtablets.com/teclast-x98-plus/downloads/|Teclast X98 Plus Downloads]]
