Windows 10: Windows 10 installation on a window 8.1 Tablet computer

During installation of Windows 10 on a Windows 8.1 Tablet computer do I need a keyboard and mouse or can I use an on-screen keyboard and touchscreen (instead of a mouse) during installation? If yes, can I use a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse during installation of windows 10?

up to date....but it is up to date...

 

How to reserve your free upgrade to Windows 10

I have 3 computers running Win 8.1 and one tablet running 8.1. The tablet got the update icon none on the computers did. All updates are installed and all are legal copies of Windows purchased from Microsoft when Windows 8 came out. So my question is
what is wrong. The tablet came with 8.1 the computers were upgraded.

 

Are you doing an upgrade or a clean install? I have not had 100% experience with this because my tablet, Nextbook Flexx 10, has a docking type keyboard. But - doing upgrade all the drivers seemed to carryover, including touchscreen. On a clean install, there were several drivers that I had to load, including touchscreen.

So, based on my experience - you SHOULD be able to do an upgrade without mouse and keyboard, but I can't guarantee it because I haven't done it myself without a keyboard/mouse. The same would be true of Bluetooth.

A clean install, I would say, most likely not able to do it without a USB mouse/keyboard.

Couple of hints - my tablet came with Windows 8.1 with Bing. I know that ISO is not available at all for download, it is very device specific. So I used Macrium Reflect Free to make a backup image of the entire memory before I did anything. Then when I found out that a clean install lacked several drivers, I restored Windows 8.1 with Macrium Reflect. I then did DISM /export-driver to export all the third party drivers and saved them to a USB stick. When I got Windows 10 clean installed I was then able to reload all the drivers I saved from Windows 8.1.
