In the last year the Microsoft Store has had fire sales on a few different Windows 10 tablets.
I have had the opportunity to get my hands on two of those offerings – the NuVision TM800W610L (8 inch) and the NuVision TM101W610L Solo 10 Draw (10 inch) – both had their pros and cons – but can be very good second screens for when you are sitting on the couch watching television. The Solo 10 Draw even came with its own active pen so you could use the inking features of Windows 10 with it instead of your finger.
One of the greatest limitations of these inexpensive Windows 10 tablets is the storage space – each of these had just 32GB of drive space for the operating system, files, and apps. That storage limitation becomes quite the challenge when it is time to upgrade the device to the next feature update for Windows 10. In my experience it is hit or miss whether or not the update will install through Windows Update on these devices and that includes when you have freed up the maximum space possible on the system drive.
So for the last few months these two tablets have just been sitting on a shelf waiting for me to dive into the slow process of updating them to the latest Windows 10 feature update – in this case the Fall Creators Update – and yesterday was the day I decided to tackle the process. I am happy to report, as I shared on social media, that I now have both of these devices up and running the Fall Creators Update. I was asked by a few people about the process and so that is what I am going use this blog post for – documenting for posterity the easiest way to upgrade these tablets. This is what works for these two NuVision tablets running Windows 10 and will likely also work on other Windows 10 tablets from NuVision however, any number of things could cause your experience to be different. However, if the tablet is in an outdated state then it certainly will not hurt to give this a shot to see what happens.
So let’s get started by talking about what you need before you begin:
- Fully charge the tablet to 100%. These tablets only have the one Micro-USB port for power and data so the full charge should be more than enough to get through this process.
- Wired keyboard and wired mouse. There is no way to wirelessly connect these devices to the device during the restoral/reinstall process so dig these out of those boxes and storage drawers.
- A Micro-USB to USB Type A dongle.
- A small unpowered or powered USB hub with at least three ports – one each for the keyboard, mouse, and a USB flash drive. You will connect this hub to the tablet using the dongle mentioned in Step 3.
- Two USB flash drives. One of these will contain the operating system that will be created using the Media Creation Tool. That flash drive will be bootable after using the MCT. When prompted be sure the MCT is matching the right architecture (32 or 64 bit) for your tablet. The second USB flash drive will contain drivers for your model of the tablet.
NuVision has a support page that contains download links to the drivers for each of their tablets – just make sure you grab the set of drivers that matches your devices model number. These files are RAR compressed files so you will need to extract them and store them on the second USB flash drive for later use.
Note: That link for the driver downloads has changed on the NuVision site. I spoke with the company earlier today, 06 April 2018, and they confirmed the old drivers are still available at http://www.nuvision.com/support-download-center/. They are in the process of updating their drivers page for a new batch of products and so they moved the older ones to a holding spot while they finish that process.
Update (04 June 2018): The drivers for these two tablets have once again become unavailable even though the download page still displays links to them and other devices. So I took matters into my own hands and using some PowerShell magic I extracted all of the third party drivers from my TM800 and TM101 tablets running Windows 10 and I am providing them as downloads from this site. This is a service to the community of owners for these two popular devices and they are provided without any warranty or any other guarantee. Check out the details and get links to the downloads at my NuVision TM800W610L & TM101W610L Windows Tablet Driver Downloads article.
You should now be ready to proceed with the clean install process.
- Take your fully charged tablet and be sure it is powered down. Connect the dongle from Step 3 above to the tablet’s Micro-USB port. Attach your USB hub to that dongle and then plug in the wired keyboard, mouse, and the USB flash drive that you created using the MCT in Step 5 above. Have the second USB flash drive with the tablet drivers nearby as it will be used later.
- With everything attached power up the tablet and when the NuVision logo appears on the screen press the DELETE key on the keyboard to enter the devices BIOS.
- You need to set the USB drive that was created using the MCT as the primary boot device and then save that configuration and exit the BIOS setup utility. The tablet will restart and the install process should then begin. It will obviously look familiar just on a smaller screen scale compared to your laptop or desktop systems.
- I used the Custom installation option and removed all of the devices partitions to create one single pool of storage space. Although sometimes the wired mouse you have plugged in will work during the install process, if it doesn’t then break out your keyboard skills for navigating the dialog boxes using the Tab, Enter, and ALT keys for various commands through this process.
- Once the installation files have been copied and prepared the device will restart to continue the setup process. Again – you might have mouse input at this point but if not just use your keyboard to get around the interface. You will not have any connectivity since the Wi-Fi hardware will not work without the drivers so you will create an offline account initially when installing Windows 10 but you can go back to that later and add convert it to a Microsoft Account once you have connectivity once again.
- Once the installation process is complete you will find yourself in front of the familiar Hi – we are getting things ready for you cycling screens before you are dropped on the desktop. Now you will need to grab that second USB flash drive that contains all of the uncompressed tablet drivers. Go ahead and remove the USB flash drive that had the Windows 10 installation files on it and plug in this second flash drive with the drivers.
- Open the Device Manager now and look for all the bangs. Those are the unrecognized hardware elements on the tablet marked with a yellow exclamation point. There will be quite a few and now what you need to do is select them one at a time and choose Update Driver from the right-click context menu. Select to look in under How do you want to search for drivers? select Browse my computer for driver software and then select the flash drive containing the drivers. No need to drill down into sub-directories because Windows will search sub-directories by default. Click Next and the drivers for that hardware device will be found and installed. Continue this process until all of the hardware items have drivers installed.
- I noticed with both the 8 and 10 inch NuVision tablets that I had to install the Wi-Fi drivers using the setup program that is with them in the drivers folder – which will be on the flash drive. That will either be in the Wi-Fi folder or possibly in one named RTLWlanxxxxx – find that folder and execute the setup.exe to install the Wi-Fi hardware drivers. It is possible that once you do this other hardware elements may be identified as needing drivers so just repeat the process described in Step 7 to continue updating those elements. If you run into a piece of hardware and the drivers refuse to install you can choose to search for those drivers online once you have Wi-Fi connectivity.
- At this point you should have a clean Device Manager with no bangs and ready to use the system. Unplug everything from the devices Micro-USB port and plug back into power so the device can charge while you continue the Windows customization process in the OS.
At this point you should head into Windows Settings>Accounts and turn your local account into a Microsoft Account which will take you through the process of adding a PIN to your account.
The next step would be to go to Windows Update and install any pending updates. Once that is complete head into the Microsoft Store and download any outstanding app updates.
At this point I have found a restart helps to trigger the syncing of my settings from other Windows 10 devices and then you can wrap things up by completing your own personalization’s to the OS and UI.
Congratulations – at this point your great deal Windows 10 tablet from NuVision should be up and running.
If you have any questions about this process or need any clarification just comment below and I will respond. By placing those questions in the comments rather than social media, it means others who might have similar questions will see the answers as well.
Enjoy and thanks for reading!

I hav not been ble to get the device to boot to the usb or the SD Card… I have tried both. I have the hub, keyboard/mouse, etc. All ready to go and working to control the tablet and get the the blue and gray screens of frustration and the only thing I get is the option to boot from windows boot manager, or boot from UEFI: Built in EFI Shell… The worst pat is the tablet just suddenly went black it started up and said the boot image couldn’t be found etc. Idk what to do… support has been zero help.. any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hello Andrew;
Sorry for the delay. Been busy with trouble caused by weather and so forth.
I’m not sure if you intended this to be addressed to me, or if it happened via the group. I’m new to it.
I’m not a good person to ask but I was able to make a clean install happen by following Richard Hay’s help. It does work nicely, but you must follow the directions carefully. I’m trying to remember all that I did. Also, I did have a conflict with one or two USB sticks. I don’t remember what that was about. Mine were 16Gb, but 8Gb should be fine. The format type is important. Some are coming from the factory as a format Windows will not allow us do. Sorry I have lost those details. Watch for it. Other than that, the bootable USB was almost effortless.
The ‘delete’ key must be pressed as the Windows logo appears to get into the Bios to make the USB the first choice to boot from. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember specific details of what those screens looked like. Take your time to navigate through them to find what you need to do.
Be sure to download the drivers and use Windows 10 to extract them from the zip file. Do that ahead of time. It said to have them on a separate USB drive, so that is what I did.
(Pressing the Windows 10 logo on the tablet may be used for the next step)
After the OS was installed, I think I used the ‘start’ menu to find the ‘control panel’ and then ‘device manager’ to find the list of everything that needs to have a driver installed separately when done. You will need to direct the process to where the drivers are when the time comes of course. The system will automatically install the correct driver as each device is selected by you. Once the driver is installed, the item disappears from the list.
All this is as I remember it. I was impressed with how nicely it works. So don’t despair. Richard Hay may see this and offer more accurate help. You will be pleased when done. Mine has been working better than ever.
So I upgraded to win 10 from 8.1 and did a fresh install. Everything was deleted and the tablet lost its “tablet” functionality. It’s a screen with windows and I need a keyboard and mouse to navigate now. I’ve downloaded the OS and Drivers from website which up until today didn’t work but did today. I have the nuvision 9.7 model. How do I get the tablet back into tablet mode? Is this just driver’s? How do I install them? Thanks!
Open Windows Settings and search for Tablet Mode to access the toggle for turning on Tablet Mode at all times.
I enabled tablet mode and nothing changed. I went through each driver folder and installed them individually. Not even sure that was the right way but to be honest nothing has changed so I’m thinking I’ll have to reinstall them. What is the OS (operating system) file for? Is that the original windows 8.1? I have the 9.7 inch model. Right now I have no accuracy with touch screen and I need a mouse and Bluetooth keyboard to navigate through everything. So its not a tablet at this point. I should have left it with the original configuration since it worked fine but I thought I’d try windows 10 on it and that has made it useless. any other advice is greatly appreciated. thanks for your replies.
I have a solo 10. It want update windows even with a
memory card for added space. It keep saying it needs more space. Now when I cut it on all I get is efi shell version can go any further hate to throw tablet away
My recommendation would be a clean install with the latest production release.
Hi Jason, I see that you have addressed this to me, but I am the wrong person named Richard and I see that he already answered you about the tablet mode. As for the drivers, Richard Hay has written very good instructions and posted them in this thread which you will need to scroll thru to find. If I can do it, I know you can. Basically, you extract them from the zip file using a computer, and then move then all to a usb drive. Open the Control Panel in the tablet to Device Manager, and look for something that may say ‘other’ (I can’t remember) I had a list of about 25. I had to select each one and update the driver. Once I directed it to the correct location, it automatically found the correct driver for each item, and removed it from that list. It added them to the correct location in the device manager.
Hope this helps..
Great article! Any ideas on how to clean install windows 10 on a tablet with a very weak battery, thus need to use the charger power pack. The unit runs, but the clean install option within win 10 can’t complete, error, then returns to prior state. Thanks
That will be a tough one to overcome because I don’t think you can feed power in through a USB hub. Typically you must either be plugged into the hub or power. I guess a device like this might work though – http://srtn.us/powerandhub
WOW! That’s the exact hub I was thinking of buying. I contacted plugable support and they replied: “This hub (and no hub) will both power your device and allow you to host other devices. What we mean by allowing data sync while powering a device is for downstream devices only. This allows you to download/upload data to the device to/from a host computer while charging. We have no product that can help you accomplish this.” I guess I’ll have to get the tools to crack open the tablet and use a portapower unit in place of the oem battery and see if I can execute your instructions to perform a clean install. A replacement battery is not cost effective and I only use it on ac power anyway, probably why the battery is shot, 18 months old. Thanks for all your help in this thread.
Let us know how it goes.
**Update** FYI, I went to Download Windows 10 > https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I Read: Using the tool to upgrade this PC to Windows 10. “You need to reinstall Windows 10 on a PC you’ve already successfully activated Windows 10.” I performed a clean install ONLINE using this tool. This worked where the Recover/Fresh start from within Windows did not. It’s updating now and all should be good 2 go. Many Thanks…
Ahh makes sense because the download comes down via WiFi and does the install. Nice.
Sam,
I wonder if, by tacking on leads from a power jack to the battery terms, and only using it sparingly to help power the tablet during an upgrade, it might safely finish the update. ?? This would save opening up the case each time.
Rich
Theoretically that should work. or use a fully charged port-a-power in place of the weak OEM battery.
My fault for being brief. I was assuming a situation when the usb port would be used for memory use. As I see it, the main problem is that the tablet does not have a dedicated power jack, and lack of memory second. When I bought it, the description made me think the SD card would solve the memory problem.
Nuvision tablet, Micro SD, 16GB flash drive with win10 image on it and a USB hub. Start process opening flash drive from tablet OS and click exe file, you will be advised more space is needed and allowed to select SD card or a 2nd blank flash drive plugged into hub if you don’t have an SD card. Start with a fully charged battery, while the program is working on updates you can disconnect the USB hub and charge the tablet, when the working on update process is around 90% plug the USB hub back in and let the process complete! The key is recharging the tablet’s battery during the process .
Excellent tip – thanks Jess.
Jess, sorry I didn’t see your post sooner. I didn’t know a thumbdrive could be removed without losing data. That would have solved my problem as the install was nearly done. I’m optimistic about the clean install, and your suggestion makes the battery adequate. (I need to get a keyboard now)
Thanks
hi – I just wanted to add a couple more behaviors that are not show stoppers for both those tablets (I also have one of each)
it appears to me that the 8in tablet is locked into a 64bit mode and the 10in tablet is locked into a 32bit mode
no need to change the boot order in either bios because there is an option in the save & exit tab to boot directly to the usb drive
( I know this post is already a bit dated) I highly recommend using windows 10 spring update 1803 which seems to have all the drivers necessary except for the 8in tablet’s wifi, that as the author pointed out – needs to be installed from the broadcom .exe, and except for some intel chipset & display & touch screen drivers )
update the drivers for all the unknown devices as detailed in the original post
( updating any of the drivers often triggers all the other drivers to load )
* * my advice is invest right away in a GOOD fast 64gb sd card (I’m using samsung) * * . . however the 8in tablet won’t allow me to use the SD as additional windows system cache, but the 10in tablet does allow it
patience – lot’s of patience – install windows as stock, run all the updates that are available and keep rebooting and keep running windows update until windows update finally says all is good
oh oh – lastly VERY IMPORTANT – free up a lot of space by going back to ‘settings’ – ‘system’ – ‘storage’ – ‘free up space now’ to recover gigs of real estate
Great update and advice. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Hey, i got through to buying a micro usb to usb hub which works fine with or without power. The bios has all the required options selected and enabled to detect the usb but even though i have tried media creaton on my usb (32gb) it doesn’t show up as a bootable drive. The tablet is currently in a bootloop after the nuvision tablet failed to reset and blacked out during windows installation. It will always pop up with “an unexpected error occured during windows installation” pressing ok just reboots it with the same message. Windows recovery doesn’t even allow me to reset my tablet popping up with either a “failed to reset” or “select an administrator account” which displays no accounts. At this point i just wanted to give up but i am giving it one last try and installing the media again through MCT but this time with the usb being a exFAT format instead of a FAT32. Any advice would be much appreciated! Many thanks.
Here is the link to a picture i took of the error, even microsofts own products are damaged by their own OS
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OEz6KpSAYI8Mco0kzvX9LAsTrNaH6Ijy/view?usp=drivesdk
Re “You need to set the USB drive that was created using the MCT as the primary boot device and then save that configuration and exit the BIOS setup utility.”
How is this done? The sub menu of boot 1 does not list the USB that is plugged in.
Many Tans
I just wanted to say with my experience of the solo 10 draw and nuvision is that the mic driver looses its functionality after ever restart. I have to do in device manager remove it and check for changes for it to work again. Every conversation with nuvision is that they are well aware of it and know it happens to most devices. What is your experience on this?
I have not read all the comment and do not see it mentioned it the article.
Have the OS and drivers from Nuvision downloaded it also when they were available a few months ago
Also can find a article on the internet on some forums me asking the same very question.
Makes no sense to me , cause its the second tablet that done it , both lost drivers after update. And nuvision fix only temp as reset looses the function again .. thank you Bob D,
Hello, you mentioned software required for installing the wifi drivers, do you happen to have access to said software? I have the tablet just about all set, but still no WiFi because of those darn drivers! Any help/advice would be welcome
Hey – the drivers for the TM101W610L & TM800W610L are both available at my download site – https://www.windowsobserver.com/download/download-category/nuvision-windows-tablet-drivers/ – that should be all you need to get the Wi-Fi drivers. You may have to download them on a different device and store it on USB to get them over to the tablet but after that just update the drivers from there. Good Luck.
First, thanks for this write-up, it’s been extremely helpful for me as I work on getting the tablet running correctly. Secondly, I just can’t get the WiFi device to activate, the broadcom device fails to start with a return code: 10, adn another (presumably?) related device “bcmfn2” is “currently waiting on another device” with a return code: 51.
I’m using the drivers from your download, and was eventually able to get the drivers from NuVision with the “setup.exe” file, I’ve got it all installed, still no dice.
You ever run into any issues like this?
Thanks for clarifying for me. I have never seen this myself nor have I seen anyone else mention a similar situation. I wonder if the hardware has failed and that is why it will not properly activate even though the drivers are installed? Unfortunately, I do not know how to test that element and I suspect the warranty period with NuVision has also expired.
That’s been a lingering theory in the back of my mind for a while. Thankfully it’s not my personal device, and I have a fleet of them to mess with. :)
Thanks again for all your help!
Glad to assist.
Hi.
I bricked my TM800W610L tablet trying to upgrade to Windows 1809. After following the procedure described above everything is fine… except the Broadcom device that fails to start with an error 10 (as well as the bcmfn2 device waiting for another device). Did you ever find out how to get the Broadcom device working?
Thanks!
I have never had an issue like that. Any chance you have a USB Ethernet adapter that you could connect with to check for a driver on Windows Update?
For those who have the same issue with the Broadcom SDIO Adapter, upgrading the driver from 1.596.12.0 to 1.596.12.1 by directly downloading it from the Microsoft Catalog as Phil described on https://www.windowsobserver.com/2018/06/04/nuvision-tm800w610l-tm101w610l-windows-tablet-driver-downloads/ did the trick (but trying to get it to update by itself using Windows Update with a USB Ethernet adapter did not). In other words it looks like the 1.596.12.1 version is somehow not considered a worthy update by Windows Update even though it is in the Microsoft Catalog… but you need it for the TM800W610L tablet, at least if you update to Windows 10 1809.
https://www.nuvision.com/download-center-1/
Wow – they said that a new download center was in the works – this is a nice upgrade from their old version. Thanks for sharing the link.
I have a tm800w610L it will only boot to efi shell. I can get to bios ok by exiting she’ll but don’t have option to boot to boot to SD card which contains my windows iso. Other option is to boot to windows boot manager or widows recovery. There is a boot over ride which I cannot seem to change. Help.,
I wonder what would happen if you tried to use a hub, wired keyboard, wired mouse, and a USB drive with the ISO prepped on it to boot clean? It is possible the SD card is not visible when only the EFI shell starts up.
Hi…
Thank you for the provided details.
I have a problem to get OTG to work.
It seems there is no power output on the micro USB port and is is not powering up the connected devices (Keyboard and Flash disk) even if I used a powered USB hub.
The only way to get it working (with a non-powered USB hub), is to connect additional USB cable to one of the USB hub ports and connect the other end to a 5V power supply.
Although this works, but it is hit and miss, the device keeps re-booting and I have to power it off multiple times until it finally can detect the devices normally.
My device is Nuvision tm800w560l, any help is appreciated.
Thank you
For me having the tablet fully charged up before going through the clean install process was the trick. Then I did not need any extra power to the hub and was able to use a non-powered device via my OTG cable to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and USB flash drive holding the other drivers. Even having a powered USB hub just meant there was an external source of power for the devices I was plugging in – there was no way to power the tablet though – it will not work.
If your MicroUSB port is not recognizing the devices then there could be a problem with your port but if you have not tried it yet I would fully charge the tablet and try again – maybe a different OTG cable and hub if possible just to make sure all of those items are working as well.
Thank you for your advices.
Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I bought the tablet is used and I believe the old owner might bricked it while trying to upgrade.
I tried three different OTG cables and couple of USB hubs, but no luck.
What I noticed, is when I connect the external power to the non-powered hub, the tablet thinks it was connected to an external power supply (Phone charger) and it start charging and go through that re-boot loop.
So I followed the steps below which resolved my problems and finally get the tablet working:
1- Followed your valuable advice, charge the table fully, without that it would turn off in the middle, the whole installation toke about 2 hours without the possibility to charge it, or even to know what level the battery reached
2- Downloaded the TM800W560L factory image and created a bootable USB, I’m not sure about the site roles, so I’ll not post the URL unless you are interested
3- Cover the 5V pin in the hub male connecter with any tape, so that the external power will not reach the tablet
4- Connect the keyboard, and windows 10 Flash disk to the hub
5- Used a mail to male USB cable to provide power to the USB hub on one of the USB ports, I can see the flash disk indicator flashing
6- Connect the USB hub to the OTG cable while keeping the 5V pine covered, see step 3
7- Turned on the tablet and selected windows 10 32 bit, Windows 10 64 bit hangs in the middle of the startup
8- Used recovery option, using F8, and used diskpart to delete all partitions, and just create one fat32 parathion, this was needed due to the failed trials the old tablet owner was doing, might net be required for others
9- Rebooted the tablet using the factory image, see step 2
10- For about 90 minutes the tablet was restoring the image, during that it modified the partition schema to match the original disk schema, I guess
11- After two reboots, the tablet was ready for personal setup and working and once connected to internet Windows get activated automatically
12- I did not go through the windows update yet
Thank you again for all your help and explanation
Wow – those were some extensive steps to get it all solved. Well done and thanks for sharing here in the comments so others can learn from your experience as well.
Please provide more details on how to; “Downloaded the TM800W560L factory image and created a bootable USB”
Many Thanks
I believe there is a file in that download which explains NuVision’s method for doing that.
Thanks for this – I recently picked up a cheap NuVision Windows tablet which seemingly bricked itself after a couple of days trying to install updates. Official documentation is sparse and I struggled to find any help, but this article helped me solve the issue myself and re-install a working disc image.
That is great and I appreciate the feedback. It is good to know my experience is helping others get further use out of these great little tablets.
Good day!
Again I want to thank you! I have instlled all drivers. Auto-rotate options are active now! Thanks very much!
That is very good to hear.
Hello, great write thank you. I have ran into a pretty big issue with my broadcom and bcmfn2 drivers. Leaving me without wifi. Any ideas how to fix this, besides troubleshoot and reinstalling windows? I’ve already done those multiple times
Doesn’t the driver package have those? If not I would recommend getting on another device and finding the generic drivers for that chips set and try those.
Excellent write up, Richard. I am on the same boat. I had to replace my Dell Venue 8 and my options are slim. Unpacking and playing with the Nuvision 8″ ($76), I’m quite impressed until I hit this same roadblock. Why would they ship such an old OS image? By doing this install, I’m going to lose my Office products too. I’ll tell you how it goes.
Sorry to hear of the troubles but let us know how it goes.
Please, I need help with my Nuvision tablet windows 10, TM101W610L. I tried to install a clean insolation media to recover the operating system. But now the tablet doesn’t have the touch and pen options, I can’t use it without mouse and keyboard plagued to tablet. What can I do to solve this problem? Lezardo Antonio, Mozambique
Check the Download page for the NuVision drivers for the W610L – you will need those to get that functionality back on the device.
Please help me, where can I find the drivers for tablet nuvision windows 10 Model TM101W610L. Please I desperately need your kind help and support.
I have made the drivers for the W610L available through my Downloads page now. They should get you going.
Thanks for a great write-up. You saved my Nuvision tablet from brick status.
Glad to hear that – congrats!
Hi Richard. I’m wondering if you can help me. I have been trying to install 64-bit Win10 on my NuVision tablet, which shipped with 32bit Windows. I’m getting stuck as I can’t for the life of me get it to boot from the USB key. I’ve set the bios order to boot from USB first but it still won’t do it. Any ideas how I can get it to see the key? Cheers!
Have you confirmed your device is 64 bit compatible?
Sadly there is no way to find the drivers for NuVision TM785A520L
To make it worse NuVision in that model “experiment” some sort of Freaking Anti-Root control, By hardware I guest, [Samsung and Sony did it long ago with their DVD readers and writers, resulting as always in lost of clients, Apparently the NuVision TM785A520L is encrypted by default, I know this because when I try to encrypt the table, re response is just an instant re-boot without asking to input password, it’s literally impossible to manage files, not any file manager is authorized to cut and paste or move, only the very limited and primitive file manager is able to do it, [when the tablet automatically gives you the message FILE NO FOUND wish means that you lose you file for good, another issue I found using 3rd party cleaning apps is that, The table as giving me black nonexistent pictures, and many of the real images and pictures in existence became just black. I found out that the table create a “super size” double backup or thumbnail file, I guest in there is all the file the Table fail to move and deleting it. It’s a mess, a real mess.
I’m deciding if I sue NuVision or not, [will be very simple] just hard reset for a 1001 time the table and record the screen when all that happens, also I’m thinking add to the case internet forums talking about peoples asking for help, because is literally impossible to root that tablet [wish confirm my point above]
Amazing me that, US Corporations dint learn from Windows Vista failure, since I came to the country I notice how easy going Americans are, You can do anything imaginable to them as government or corporation and peoples just bend it and take it. [iPhones and IPad are a perfect example] now those even have the arrogance not to include Headphone Jack, not to mention that “ever” came with Store File Transfer ports like usb’s or SDCards.
NuView seems that way extreme locking their hardware, resulting me in loss many many files.
To add that they eliminate drivers or versions update for that tablet model.
They deserve to be sue.
I forgot to mention that It’s possible that NuVision is trying to avoid peoples to do exactly the setup this blog is talking about it. with en encrypted and locked hardware, and no drivers to find, there is no way to install windows in this Tablet Version.
NuVision has a almost exact or similar model with Windows 10 that cost few more bucks, I guest they hate smart panties who buy the same hardware cheaper to setup the table as the top model.
Whatever is the reason, they did the wrong think.
Thanks for posting this. Bought a Solo 10 in August and have been trying many ways to do the update. Will try this next weekend and will post my comments.
Thanks for your excellent write-up! I have a new Solo 10 Draw on the way and may clean-install Windows 10 in order combine all the partitions. What amount of space did you find left over after the installation of Fall Creators Update?
I am glad you found the content – hopefully it will make your clean install an easier process.
Although I did not check for free space right after the upgrade I currently have 12.7GB free. I use OneDrive Files On Demand so they do not take up any space on the device so I suspect it should be in that ballpark.
Please, I need help with my Nuvision tablet windows 10, TM101W610L. I tried to install a clean insolation media to recover the operating system. But now the tablet doesn’t have the touch and pen options, I can’t use it without mouse and keyboard plagued to tablet. What can I do to solve this problem? Lezardo Antonio, Mozambique
Did you download the drivers from NuVision and have them ready to be installed?
Well, I tried to download the drivers from nuvision home page, but the link is inaccessible, it gives err, so I don’t know where can I find the drivers for nuvision windows 10 tablet pc with this model number: TM101W610L. Please, help me if you can! Kind regards. Antonio
Unfortunately it appears they have pulled their driver downloads for all their devices. That is a shame. I did not save my drivers and archive them when I did this project – that means if I ever have to reset – I am also out of luck. Real bummer no doubt.
Thanks for your reply.
I appreciated your direct answer. I will contact your if I need futher assistance.
Good news – I just spoke with the company and they simply moved the older driver packages to a new location while they prepare new drivers for some upcoming products. I added the link to the story but it is http://www.nuvision.com/support-download-center/ so the drivers are there now.
Thanks very much for fine effort to help me. I can access the link, also I can see the model number for my pc tablet, TM101W610L, but when I try to press on link named driver, it is not accessible. The same happens with another links on the same line where appears the model number, so where can press to download the drivers for TM101W610L? If it work, man, I’ll always be in debt of gratitude to you.
Thanks very much for your fine disposition to help me.
Warm greetings!

I was able to download them by Right Clicking and choosing “Save Target” – downloaded both of the sets I need for my devices. By the way, they are in RAR format so you need a program that can open that type of compressed file.
Good morning!
I tried several times in effort to download the drivers, but without success. When I Right Click and choose “Save Target” – after selecting the path where to save the downloading, it gives me this err: “Retry” and cant start the downloading.
So, since you were able to download them, could you send me these drivers in a zipped folder? If it’s heavy, you may want to send me tow or three zipped folders. I’ll truly appreciate you kindness! Otherewise my tablet is to rest forever! I need a driver for screen touch, wifi, pen and others that you think I’ll need them.
I understand that you want to help me, is clear and evident to me through your effort and replays to my emal.
This is my email: luantoniochirambas@gmail.com
Thanks very much!

OK – I stuck this on my OneDrive Shared folder so you can access it for three days. Here is the link – https://1drv.ms/u/s!Asa6UR-p42Wdnq8DE9zUgYNRjWj2EQ
Good afternoon!
I’m writing you to express my thanks and gratitude. The drivers you sent were exactly what I needed to have my pc back to life. I could download and install them successfully, and after restarting the tablet, all functionalities are back and operate smoothly. Friend, with a broad smile, I can say “Thank You Very Much” for your kindness, patience and wiling disposition to help! I can say that you “Were born to help.” I’ll always be in debt of gratitude to you for this loving help you provided.
Please, keep this wiling, and also do this for other people that may need your assistance.
Please, accept my warm greeting and best wishes.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to help when possible so I appreciate the kind words. Glad you are up and running.
Hello,
I am still facing one problem with my tablet, although is small problem. The tablet doesn’t accept rotate automatically. Is it related to the drivers, it’s related to setting option. I cant find the option where I can activate this rotate option. Please, help me if you can.
Thanks very much

Check and make sure the sensor drivers are installed.
Thanks!
But the folder named “Sensors” is empty. So what can I do now? Please, help if you can.
I checked the downloaded copy I had and downloaded a fresh copy – Sensor folder is empty in both.
So it means there is no way-out!!!? Sorry!
First – have you opened Device Manager and found the item that is not working listed? Usually has a yellow exclamation mark on it. It is possible you can right click on that and update driver by searching Windows Update for it. Could be available and work.
I’ll try tomorrow! Here it is late now! I have to rest and getup early tomorrow! I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks
