My device is Dell Venue Pro 11 which came with Windows 8 x64 pre-installed on the SSD. Previous issues - Firstly I installed Ubuntu on dual-boot in the same SSD: after doing that Windows stopped booting, i.e.
I was only able to enter Ubuntu. Secondly I tryed recovering my Windows partition by using Testdisk and other tools for fixing partitions, booted in live mode from a usb stick: after doing that my partition table seemed to be completely gone and so I couldn't enter nor Windows or Ubuntu. Now I can only booting live operative systems from usb stick (I never tried using a cd). Some of them boot, some others don't, anyhow using a usb stick is the only way I may work on my tablet pc.
Now I'm trying to reinstall Windows - I purchased a license key and downloaded the ISO of the upgraded version (Windows 10 x64) which is still compatible with my hardware. I put the ISO in the usb stick, which was configured in 'multiboot' mode (I used Yumi for doing that). I switch on the tablet pc and push twice the volume + button to enter the boot menu; I boot from the usb stick and then select the first option to install windows; I click 'install'. That's what I get - the installation procedure seems to begin, I get the Windows 10 logo and then a blue screen appears; a window appears for a very short time and then the blue screen only remains; I cannot do any operation but moving the cursor only. (Exception: Once I got the window with the installation menu in the middle of the blue screen. But When I rebooted the issue recurred).
I solved the issue in this particular case by removing the sd card inserted into the device. I didn't consider it might cause any trouble because it is still possible to choose the partition before installing Windows. Firstly I removed the card, so as to have the usb card and the ssd only among the bootable devices; then I rebooted from the usb stick and selected the first option in the menu to enter Windows installation; in the next step I confirmed and then I got the configuration window in the middle of the blue screen (not just the blue screen), so I had full control of everything. I kept on by installing the operative system and well, now I got it! A possible cause is the following: the sd card prevented the boot loader from recognizing the partition where Windows had to be installed; once I removed it, I only got two devices: the usb stick I was using for installing Windows and the ssd with the ntfs partition.
I summarize the whole procedure below - 1. I created a 'multiboot' usb device by using Yumi and put the Windows 10 x64 ISO in there, previously downloaded after having purchased a license code; 2. I inserted the usb stick into the Dell Venue Pro tablet and removed any other flash memory from it (in this case the sd card); 3. I switched on my Dell Venue Pro 11 tablet and entered the Bios setup panel by double clicking on the volume + button after starting the device; 4. I switched the Bios mode to 'Legacy boot - secure mode disabled' and restarted; 5. I booted from the usb stick previously inserted on; 6. In the boot menu I selected the first option to install a Windows system; 7.

I confirmed I wanted to install Windows; 8. I kept on installing Windows by following the steps shown in the configuration procedure.

Or send me their device and let me play with it.

Microcenter has an open box venue 8 pro for $185, might be tempted to buy one now EDIT: looks like all bay trail devices ship with 32-bit only firmware. The first thing we need to do is disable secure boot on the Transformer Book.
That’s pretty easy to do, with these steps. Note that you can complete these steps with the USB drive plugged in or without it — but I had a bit more luck without it.
Swipe from the right side of the screen to bring up the Charms menu. Tap “Settings.” 3. Choose the “Change PC settings” option at the bottom. On the following screen tap “Update and recovery.” 5. At the next screen, choose “recovery.” 6.

Choose the one that says Troubleshoot. At the following screen choose “Advanced Options.” advanced startup02 9. Next, select “UEFI Firmware Settings.
Finally hit the “Restart” button. This will reboot your device into the UEFI settings area, which looks like an old-school BIOS menu. The touchscreen and touchpad won’t work here, but you can navigate using the arrow keys and enter key on the keyboard. Use the arrow keys to get to the Security tab.

Scroll down to Secure Boot menu and hit “Enter. Make sure Secure Boot Support is selected, and hit Enter again to bring up a screen that says “Enabled” or “Disabled.” 14. Choose Disabled and hit enter. Hit the Esc key. Now Secure Boot is disabled.
You could theoretically save and exit at this point. But instead, this is the time when I’d recommend plugging in the USB flash drive. Once it’s plugged in, move on to the next step. Move over to the Save & Exit tab, highlight “Save Changes and Exit” and hit Enter. As the system reboots, press and hold the F2 key so that you return to the UEFI Settings menu. This time when you navigate to the Save & Exit menu you should see an option under Boot Override that says “UEFI” and has the name of your USB flash drive. Select that boot override option and hit enter.
If all goes according to plan, your device should now boot into a GRUB bootloader menu, giving you the option of trying or installing Ubuntu. T100 linux05 I strongly suggest you use the “Try Ubuntu without installing” option at this point — unless you really know what you’re doing.

T100 linux04 Here’s how to get past that point: 1. Type the following commands, and hit enter after each.
Cd usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ 4. Sudo rm vesadrv.so 5. Startx You should see a flurry of text scroll by and then a mouse cursor will appear on screen. A moment later, you should see the full Ubuntu Unity desktop environment. T100 linux03 Keep in mind, you won’t be able to use WiFi out of the box, since Ubuntu doesn’t recognize the device’s wireless adapter. The screen resolution will be stuck at 800 x 600, which could look funny. And there’s no touchscreen support — so while you can detach the screen from the keyboard, you won’t be able to do much with it.
The user interface may also be a bit sluggish — in order to get the X Server to load a graphical user interface, we had to delete the vesa graphics driver. It may be possible to load an alternate driver to improve performance.

But now that we know it’s possible to get alternate operating systems to boot on the Transformer Book T100, it should also be possible for people to figure out how to configure them to take advantage of the tablet/notebook hybrid’s hardware. How do I get back to Windows? When you logout of Ubuntu you can shut down or restart the computer. If the system freezes (or you’re impatient), you can also press and hold the power button until the tablet shuts down. You can then press and hold it again to restart the tablet. Unfortunately, you’ll probably be greeted by a screen with the Asus logo and the text “Preparing BitLocker recovery.” Here’s how to get back to Windows from here: 1. Wait until you see a blue screen and choose the “Skip this drive” link at the bottom of the page.
This’ll take you to a troubleshoot screen like we saw in the section above. The only difference is you can use the keyboard and touchpad to make your selections, but not the touchscreen.
Choose “Troubleshoot” and then “Advanced Options” again, and then select “UEFI Firmware Settings” and hit Restart. Move over to the “Save & Exit” tab and select “Restore Defaults” and hit Enter.
Save Changes and Exit and you should reboot into Windows. Troubleshooting tips If step 17 and later in the “Booting Ubuntu” section, you may end up in the same Bitlocker recovery section as listed above. The good news is that you can use the same steps to get back to Windows but this time after you hit the “Skip this drive” section, if you have your bootable USB drive plugged in, you should also see an option to “Use a device.” use a device Select that option and choose the name of your drive on the next screen and you should boot into Ubuntu/GRUB bootloader instead of Windows.
Make sure to be careful when playing around with the Advanced options menus. There are some options that will reinstall Windows or even wipe your data.
Hi, yes i was able to run live DVD (usb stick). I do not remember bios version - i no longer have dell (switched to yoga 2). 'In the GRUB menu, highlight “Try Ubuntu”, and press “e” to edit it. In the editing screen, scroll down to the command line options, where it says “quiet splash”.
