content: PSA: Clean-installing Windows 10 on a tablet is a pain in the ass. I just installed Windows 10 on a Windows 8.1 tablet (clean install). For starters, the touch screen was not supported during installation! Seriously, what the flatulant fuck? Why does a "state of the art" OS not detect the single method of input on a slightly older Baytrail tablet (when that OS is being promoted as a platform for tablets)? Okay, whatever,, I'll torture myself by finding some way to connect a USB flash drive AND a keyboard AND a mouse to the single USB port on this thing. There's a MicroSD slot, but we're not allowed to boot from that because...??? Anywho, most of us do not have USB hubs lying around because most machines come with an ample amount of USB ports. So, I ended up "rigging" a KVM switch to serve as a poor-man's USB hub. I used one port (intended for the keyboard) for the flash drive and the other (intended for the mouse) for my keyboard/mouse. SURELY it will detect the touch screen and let me use it when the installation is complete, right??? WRONG! After the installation was completed, the touch screen was not detected! What year is it again? How long have touch screens existed? Windows 10 doesn't even provide graphics acceleration, sound, or networking FFS out of the box! Again. this is Intel Baytrail hardware... Its not brand new, and not exotic stuff. I actually contemplated installing Windows 7 on this thing at first, but I figured I would rightfully end up in this situation because Windows 7 is so old... but with a modern operating system, I expected improvement. When it comes to Windows, I guess that is a mistake that one should not make. Then, after the installation, it started asking me for a product key. There is no fucking product key! Actually, its embedded in the BIOS from what I read. This is no doubt intended to stop people from copying the product key. Sleezy, but whatever. Why the holy hamster fuck does it ask me for a product key during installation then, though? Shouldn't it um....... read it from the BIOS? PS: to anyone who figures out how to build a time machine, please let me go back in time and punch myself before I decided to get a Windows tablet.
