Windows 10: RCA W1166 version 1803

RCA W1166 version 1803 does not stay in the desktop mode and keeps switching to tablet. How can I get it to stay in desktop so that I can use the keyboard?

RCA Cambio W101 - Upgrade to Version 1803

Upgrade to Version 1803

on RCA Cambio W101 version 1

As you have already found out, Windows Update cannot automatically upgrade your 2-in-1 tablet to Version 1803.

The only way is to install a clean Windows 10 (make note of the Windows x86 or 64bit).

Your RCA Cambio W101-1 only has micro-USB. So you need a micro-USB to USB small cable to connect your USB drive.

You will need a USB of at least 8GB. Go to the Microsoft Web Site. I usually just type in download.microsoft.com.

Upper right, search for MediaCreationTool1803.exe. Download it and run it to download and copy onto your 8GB USB flash drive.

Just stick your USB flash drive into your USB and go to your Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Restart now > Use a device >

and look for the USB that you have plugged in. If you do not see your particular USB flash drive, roboot and go there again. You will eventually see it.

It should boot into the Installation. It could take a while. Have patience for at least 20 minutes.

When you are doing the Custom Installation, do not format any of the hidden drives which you will see.

Just pick the largest size drive and put the new installation onto that drive. The installation will take care of the other drives.

After the installation is finished, do as much Windows Updating as can be done. Wireless Network drivers will get installed by the installation.

Then go to OneDrive

Drag & drop out of the zipped (compressed) folder and get ready for the miracle.

Go to SlimTab_8_MS > TP driver > WW34 > Installer > PlatformInstaller > Setup.exe (always click continue when asked about providers)

and select YES whenever asked to install something.

and Thank You onedrive.live.com, Thank You very much for creating this MIRACLE for us RCA Cambio W101, Intel Atom CPU Z3735G (Z3000 series) users.

P.S. Check in your Control Panel > Administrative Tools > System Information > Processor, to make sure you have a Z3000 series processor.

You will now see every one of your firmware drivers installed.

There will be only one Bluetooth driver called "Microsoft Bluetooth Protocol Support Driver" missing.

Do Not be concerned. I believe that driver installation took place during the FALL of 2017 upgrade.

All it did was keep track of the Bluetooth Upgrade. Description of Events with Dates: Device Install Requested - Driver service added - Device Installed

Now your Upgrade to Windows 10, Version 1803 is complete. Hope you did not already buy another 2-in-1 Tablet.

By the way, I use 9 of these RCA Cambio W101 Tablets. I have them mounted on a large enough peg board.

I use them for trading FOREX. I did not feel like purchasing 9 more tablets. This solution will probably work for the RCA Cambio W101 Version 2.

Do not know for sure about this solution working for the RCA Cambio W101 Version 2. Just look and make sure that your Processor is a Z3000 series.

 

Unable to update Windows 10 Pro version 1709 to 1803

Have made several attempts to update Windows 10 version 1709 to the latest version 1803 and have not been successful.

I've done the following per some suggestions found online:

• Updated drivers
• Ran the Trouble Shooter for Windows 10 (Errors found were shown to be "Fixed" per the tool)
• Unplugged the printer

Although not at every attempt, I have received the following errors:

• 0xc1900101
• 0x80070643

Can someone please advise me as to what the errors are and provide me with the steps to update Windows.

Thank you.
