Re - installing Windows 8 on a tablet, without usb-boot option

1

0

I do own a tablet (Xoro PAD 9W4), which initially ran Windows 8.1. I upgraded to Windows 10, but due to some issues (mainly touchscreen issues), I want to reinstall Windows 8.1. For this reason, I made a bootable USB flash drive.

Although I managed to enter UEFI BIOS, there is no option in boot manager to boot from usb. In particular the displayed message is: System doesn't have any USB boot option. Is there anything I can do about it?

P.S. Unfortunately, there is no official support for the specific model.

It would be helpful to know specifically what model of tablet you're dealing with. – Darth Android – 2015-06-26T20:19:12.673

@whs I'm afraid there is no such an option. Instead, the only options areReset this Pc and advanced settings, which I tried both without any result. By the way, the running OS at the moment is Windows 10. – thanasissdr – 2015-06-26T21:14:01.387

I understand that you are currently running Windows 10. But the W10 installation should not have erased the W8.1 recovery partitions. Thus a recovery to W8.1 should be possible. Maybe this will work ==> http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2302-reset-windows-8-a.html
