    Problems with Windows 10 on dualboot tablet


    After a recent Windows 10 update, my dualboot tablet Windows and Android can no longer run Windows.


    I have run all of the automatic fixes offered by Windows, including reset, and none of them works.


    I can get into the command prompt which says: x:windows\system32


    I want to completely delete Windows 10 from my tablet and run just the Android app but don't have enough memory on the Android side.


    I've had the tablet about two years. With each successive Windows update more and more memory was taken up by Windows. I now have about 7 GB storage for Android apps and about 57 GB taken up by a defunct Windows 10 operating system.


    How can I permanently delete Windows 10 from my tablet's command prompt which says:x:windows\system32?






    Please advise on how I can totally and completely delete Windows 10 from my tablet. Please advise.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    You can disable tablet mode in settings

    Disabling Tablet Mode :

    • Go to the Tablet Mode tab under Settings -> System -> Tablet Mode
    • Toggle the "make Windows more touch friendly" option off.
    • Select whether the device switches modes automatically ->change to Dont Ask/Don't Switch.

    Win 10 build 10240 to Threshold 2 update problem on 16G tablet


    Thanks, that is a very comprehensive list of suggestions. However, I have done almost all of the steps you've listed...except uninstalling the apps. Even if I deleted virtually all my installed apps (most were installed on the D drive anyway, except for the ones that would only install on C), it may leave just barely enough room to get to the 5G needed for the install...but then where would I be.....an operating system running on a tablet, with hardly any apps on it....an anchor! The problem with apparently no answer is WinSxS!

    It seems that even though Win 10 will install and run on the small little 16G tablets, they can not be updated over a period of time as the Windows and WinSxS folder continue to grow out of bounds. Thus leaving a 16G C drive device fairly useless for any useful purpose. The only option (it appears), is to do a fresh reformat and install, with every new Win 10 upgrade down the line, thus starting with a small WinSxS each time, instead of one that balloons with every program install and software upgrade.

    Any other ideas, greatly accepted....thanks all!
