Miix 2 8: install fresh Windows 10 using Windows 8.1 key from tablet

Rather than do an in-place upgrade, can I perform a fresh Windows 10 installation on my Miix 2 8 using the Windows 8.1 key that came with the tablet? (First I gotta figure out how to boot from USB... See a different topic on this.) --Ron 

i tried to use rufus but it didn't worked with the uefi on this tablet, i had to follow the diskpart steps posted on a lenovo support page i found
in my tablet i have win 8.1 single language with bing, so the normal win 10 home doesn't work, i had to use win 10 home single language, it asked for the serial key but allowed to install without providing any, after the installation ended, it activated automatically
the only real problem i had installing was that touch screen didn't worked during install and after logging in, keyboard and mouse stopped working, so i connected via otg another keyboard, installed intel chipset from the support page to get touch screen working and also dock driver to make keyboard and touchpadwork continuously
only problem now is that alt gr key doesn't work, i can't make the @ and other symbols via keyboard, only touch keyboard on screen, no idea what to do, system seems to believe that alt and alt gr is the same key and doesn't matter what keybard or language i set
in general i must say tat win 10 boots as fast or faster than win 8 and also batteyr seems to last longer, more than the 4 hours i usually get
also memory usage keeps around 1.2 gbs and i could delete the recovery parttition so i have 44 gbs free after installing office, libreoffice, antivirus, vlc and other 3 or 4 apps i normally use

    If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
    The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

  • How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

    How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

    You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

  • Satellite L50-A Uninstall IE 10 and install IE 9 using Windows 8

    I need to use IE 9 rather than IE10 so I can monitor the various tabs as I work. IE 10 does not allow that to happen.
    I can disable IE 10 by going to the Control Panel, then selecting Microsoft features then unticking the IE 10 box. Doing that removes the IE 10 icon from the Start Panel.
    However when I try to install IE 9 I get a message that IE 9 is already installed. However I cannot locate it nor if it is there run it.
    Does anyone know what I need to do to get IE 9 running.
    Thanks in advance

    Update.
    It seems IE 10 cannot be replaced by IE 9 if using Windows 8. However the if IE 10 is opened from the desktop then it displays with the tabs shown as in IE 9. OR if you open from the Start menue you can click on tools then select Show as desktop to get the same display. I haven't yet found how to set tha IE 9 type display as default though.
    Item now closed for me I think.

  • How to install ios 5 using windows 7 ultimate?

    how to install ios 5 on my iphone 4 useing windows 7 ultimate?

    I don't understand what you're asking. iOS 5.1 is the latest version of iOS that exists. If you have iOS 5.1 on your iPhone now and are trying to go back to an earlier version of iOS, that's not supported.
    If that's not what you mean, then you need to explain more clearly what it is you are trying to accomplish.

  • I have Windows 8.1 standalone updates. I want to install them automatically while installing fresh copy of windows 8.1. How?

    I have downloaded Windows 8.1 standalone updates from Microsoft Download Center. I don't want them to be separately installed on Windows 8.1 Copy. I want to keep the updates somewhere in Windows 8.1 setup USB/DVD so that while installing using that USB/DVD,
    the updates should be automatically installed.

    Hi,
    Operating system package-servicing commands can be used offline to install, remove, or update Windows® packages provided as cabinet (.cab) or Windows Update Stand-alone Installer (.msu) files.

  • Locate link browser window using windows 7 outlook 2003

    I have been using windows 7 (64bit) along with outlook 2003 with no problem till today. All of a suddden everytime I click to open a link from within an outlook e-mail message  a "locate link browser window opens" I see lots of issues on the internet with Vista or XP but no specific causes or solutions with 7.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.    Try to set your browser as Default in “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs”:
    Change which programs Windows uses by default
    2.    Please also try this:
    The Locate Link Browser dialog box appears when you open a Web link in an e-mail message in Outlook 2003
    Considering this issue is related to Microsoft Office, if the issue persists, it is recommended that you go to Microsoft Office Forum for further investigation:
    Microsoft Office Forums
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Is Blackberry going to support syncing Installed Outlook 2013 + using Windows 8 +?

    There are many threads and posts about the fact that Blackberry does not currently (April 2015) support syncing contacts and calendar items from Outllook 2013 (installed version at least).  My experience with this is with Windows 8.1. 
    I can copy my .PST files to my laptop which run Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 and it syncs fine there. 
    I have the same current release of Desktop Software which installs Link for Windows 1.2.4.  on both machines.
    I would like some daylight on this issue.  Does Blackberry intend to support this or not?  I really like my Passport but IT IS MANDATORY THAT I BE ABLE TO SYNC MY OUTLOOK. I am a consultant and not on a corporate exchange service. Cleints send me invites to meetings etc. which populate my Desktop Outlook. I must be able to sync those and the contacts with my Blackberry Passport.
    The Windows phones sync with Outlook just fine and in fact have an Outlook application installed. I am thinking about switching.

    Well, I can't speak to your concerns about BB Management, nor about your desire for them to respond here. While they to from time to time post here, it's rare and should never be expected...the charter of this site is clear about what to expect.

    You had asked specifically about PC-based synchronization, this might be of use:
    http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/60798/tom1359418099212.jsp
    I do not know if that matches your configuration or not, but that's the official information we have available.
    You did not originally ask about OTA sync, which is why I did not address that...but that indeed does work...refer:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/How-To-OTA-Sync-BB10-and-non...
    There are I am sure many other threads that might be of interest to you, so a few minutes searching might reveal information that you desire. You might even find someone else with your exact configuration, and has it working...I don't know, for I shifted to OTA sync exclusively (I use both Hotmail as well as GMail for contacts and calendar).
    Good luck!

  • When I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and wont be installed. I use Windows 7.

    Everytime I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and can't be installed?  I have tried to install it two times and get the same message each time. Any solutions to my problem?? Those who have installed ITUNES 11 is it hard to work with? maybe im lucky it wont update?? I don't know.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
