I obtained the spec sheet and it mentions a "/Reset" pin, but shorting that didn't work either. Based on some photos I found online, you should be able to reset the Bios by shorting a single pin on the Winbond FlashRAM chip, but that too didn't work. So, left with no other choice, I opened the tablet up. With a missing OS as the first choice and no way to move the cursor right to select/boot Windows, I can't get past that menu. a third-party (fourth party?) Boot Loader that doesn't support touch screens (which I did not know at the time). On reboot, it reports it "can't find" the linux iso, so there's no OS to install.īut it gets worse. Long story short, "WubiUEFI" didn't work. a "UEFI compatible" version of "Wubi" (a popular old program that installed other OS and a Boot Menu using Windows that no longer worked on computers with a UEFI Bios). Unfortunately, Windows-10 makes installing additional OS's difficult (so does the UEFI Bios), but I eventually found WubiUEFI.

So I searched around looking for a way to install Ubuntu from Windows without a flashdrive. Unable to reset the Bios from Windows, I found several sites claiming it is possible to do it from Linux. Final update for anyone who was following this thread.
