Note: Make sure there’s more than 50% battery capacity, or stay charged while flashing.
Format USB Stick as NTFS and name it WINPE as below: (If WINPE is not named, u-disk won’t be recognized.)
Unpack the downloaded Windows 10 files:
Copy the all subfiles and then paste it to the root of your USB Stick.
Install/Flash Windows 10
After plugging the u-disk into SurBook, boot the device. The system automatically guides into the CMD flash interface. The 1% -100% progress indicates the flashing is on.
When it is finished, the tablet will shut off automatically;
(First boot time will be longer. The test mode will be entered after startup. Please first close the middle " Cancel " window, then double click on Cleanup on the upper left corner and the computer will shut down. Then manually turn on the device, choose the language on the language setting interface and set it as user mode. )
The whole process will take around 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the speed of your USB port.
The only version of Windows that will be activated automatically with the license installed on the board is Windows 10 Home. Any other version of Windows will need a new product key
Manonegra222 do you know how can I boot the surbook to my bootable USB flash w/ win10 lite?
I tried to make a standard FAT32 bootable USB but no option to boot on it in the BIOS. Then I tried to name the boot flash drive WINPE and make it NTFS. Nothing…
Edit ( cannot write other reply cause I am a new user): yes this is what I did a bootable disk with rufus to install windows lite. I formatted the system partition and then started to install. After rebooting and the next steps of the install I got this message. I do not understand this message. Do not know what to do… You mean I just need to browse to the self installing pen?
Yes, there is a solution for that error, usually it is solved using another pendrive because the one you are using may contain some hidden directory that prevents the creation of the temporary unita solución para ese error,
The folder structure on my flash drive formatted as NFTS looks like this:
WINPE:\
├───Boot
├───EFI
├───Images
├───Scripts
├───sources
├───bootmgr
└───bootmgr.efi
I didn’t think the issue was exactly like the problem shown by user Giova but I tried using a secondary flash drive in the other port and following the steps in the method here.
I tried another USB as suggested and it worked. Thank you @manonegra222!
I wonder why the first drive didn’t work since I wiped it clean before copying the Windows files. Perhaps because it wasn’t USB 2.0.
I do not know the reason, but from experience the same case had already occurred with other users.
I’m glad you were able to reset your device and enjoy it again
The best way to install (Reinstall) Windows 10 is to use a Windows 10 installation disk to do that,i don’t like to download Windows 10 from Microsoft. Furthermore, Microsoft no longer supports this.
