So if I create a USB flash drive on another computer it will not require a key then when will I install Windu on wine?



Rep: (15)
I wouldn’t bother with this activation at all, the Windows key should be registered in the BIOS of the device, respectively, the activation should normally pass, if you install the same version of Windows, regardless of what to write it to, but if not, then break it for a short time, updates work will be etc.

I looked at a bunch of information on an Internet of windows, it doesn’t install completely, all the drivers will have to do a lot manually, and in general everything is messed up with it. And it’s not a fact, of course, that this will solve the problem

You have already been written above. Download Windows from the manufacturer and driver pack. All links are in the header. Everything about everything will take half an hour. Drivers are all installed automatically when you click on one bat file. All that remains is to put the driver on the touchscreen.



Rep: (0)
But whoever understands that half an hour will leave. It all sounds just simple, but in reality everything turns out to be wrong. What does it mean to click on one bat file? And if you download drivers from the header, then most of the links do not work there. And in general I was told to install Windu not from the manufacturer but the latest version

Posted on 03/10/2019, 14:43:

Maybe there is some video where?

Posted on 03/10/2019, 14:46:

Driver pack works, but there are a lot of drivers that you can download and how to get dirty there is not everything according to sections, and from here it’s better to probably not download it; you need to download official files somewhere

https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwin2firmware
Only there links to "Mega" anyway



In principle, if everything seems so complicated, you can ask someone from your acquaintances / colleagues who understand this conditional "beer" to help, gpd win 2 in terms of installing windows is no different from a laptop.



Rep: (0)
Well, is it the only one from the header to install all the drivers, or only the driver pack and touchscreen links? And to the collection, which one to install the latest from Microsoft (it is written in the internet in the graphics tupit) or put the assembly from the manufacturer?



Rep: (66)
* Nofatu,
From the manufacturer installed clean Windows 10 Home. So, if you install the usual system from the Microsoft site, nothing will change. The only thing you can immediately install Russian, and that's all, but on top of the woods from the cap.

Generally speaking, this driver pack from the Chinese contains the old drivers a year ago. I don’t know, maybe they tested the device specifically for them and therefore do not update. Windows there may also turn out to be an assembly with something cut out or disabled, and not the fact that it was done correctly. Could still and some trojans cram easily.

Personally, I immediately formatted the disk and installed the system from a fresh image from Microsoft. In principle, she pulls up all the necessary drivers herself. But just in case, I rolled all the things that Intel offered with the Intel updater and the realtek, which in the latest version does not start the control panel and without which it was possible to do.

As a result, of the built-in devices, only a gyroscope with an accelerometer does not work. After a dozen of these updates, I stopped a dozen of them myself and I need to install them separately, but so far I have not been confused. The touch works with a standard driver.

By the way, from the Chinese driver pack specific, which the Windows or Intel itself does not put, there are only 4: a gyroscope, accelerometer, touch and another bus, apparently for the first two. So I believe that rolling this gigabyte of Chinese is unclear which is not necessary if there is an update of Windows and fresh versions :)



Rep: (1)
Wait, wait ...
Maybe I'm confusing something, but where did the gyroscope and accelerometer come from?



Rep: (0)
Well, there is a driver in the archive, which means that the sensor probably should be. Although the question is interesting, nothing is said about them in the specs. Maybe I'm stupid with the Chinese.

On December 14th, my screen mount flew off, here is that postGPD Win 2
Well, on February 7th, I received it back, but only now did I get my hands to check everything.
The top cover is completely new, asked at the same time that they would sort out the squeak when fully charged - they didn’t, asked to relax the screen mount - they didn’t.
The screen still opens very tightly, I did not rely on luck now, removed the top cover from the screen, unscrewed two fastener bolts and loosened the mount to an acceptable force with two pliers.
Now I hope it will last a long time.
Costs: 1700 rubles for sending to China, and precious time, almost 2 months.

I just received it yesterday, the lid opens gently and the sensation of feeling behind the loop does not seem to arise, maybe in the last installments they fixed it or they just did not tighten the nut for me.

The people, with Mafia 2 on the device is such nonsense: for the first five minutes the game is wildly slow, then it seems to be normal, it goes smoothly, without a single lag, everything is ok. But after 30-40 minutes of the game, terrible graphic artifacts begin (in the spoiler). Obviously, the video chip overheats and issues such pretzels. It's strange, the game is kind of old, on the device and much more demanding games during a long game do not give this, everything is fine with the graphics, and something strange with the Mafia ..

Obviously, if you provided screens with overheating or graphics of some afterburner.
P.S. Mafia 2 passed last year without a single glitch.



Rep: (28)
And if there is no overheating, then you should poke the game settings or play with the driver versions.
