You'll need to grab the boot.wim file from the 'Sources' folder. Once this is complete, mount the ISO image of Windows 10 that you downloaded. The next step is to extract the drivers from the CAB file. When asked which format to download, choose the CAB file. Under the 'Systems Management' category is a download called 'Deploy WinPE 5.0 Driver Pack'. MAKE SURE TO CHECK THAT THIS PAGE IS CORRECT FOR YOUR TABLET MODEL. It's inconsequential anyways to this discussion.)Īfter you have obtained the ISO image, you'll need to grab the Windows PE drivers for your tablet on Dell's website. I can't remember if I had to enter a key or not. (It's possible that your tablet has your product key embedded in its firmware. Windows 10 v1511 has a revamped activation system that will allow you to enter your Windows 8.1 product key to activate Windows. Grab a copy of the ISO image, preferably the 32-bit version. The first thing I did was obtain a copy of Windows 10 v1511 (November Update) from Microsoft Tech Bench. Here's how I was able to tackle the problem. The process is a little more involved than on a desktop or laptop, especially since Windows PE does not understand how to interact with the tablet's digitizer (more on that later). I had to do this for one of my family members a few weeks back.

Nothing on Dell website acknowledging problem and suggesting fix as far as I can see.It is definitely possible to perform a clean install of Windows 10 on the Dell Venue Pro 8. Very disappointing - especially as I see quite a few people with the same problem out there. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue but I am now down to 30% on the Venue and soon won’t be able to try anything to fix so will have to return. I will say the micro-USB does not fit well into the port although it did work at first. Someone said they fixed by doing all dell recommended updates from MyDell app - including Bios update. One forum a lot of people having same issue - charges at first then after a day or two fails to charge - white charge light not on. Using the non-proprietary micro USB and cable which came with it from Amazon. Decide to charge it up again before bed and the charge light does not come on. We charged it up to 90% and spent all day setting up apps etc. Bernie I gave my hubby the dell venue Pro 8 yesterday fro Christmas.
