Update Windows 8.1 WIMboot on Dell coming 8 Pro?

With the recent update of Windows 8.1 WIMboot novelty can save a lot of space on the Windows partition, replacement of the Windows filesystem with the much smaller pointer files, for an image compressed in the hidden restore partition.

I guess that Dell will implement for future shipments soon, but it is possible to do on existing tablets? Either get a picture of recovery updated with WIMboot partition and reinstall Windows from it? I can afford the re-installation pain to get the couple GB of free space.

I have applied the WIMBoot function for my Dell coming Pro 8 and got more than 20 GB of free space.  He is more careful about a stock of factory of Windows (via reset) but it can be done on a full Windows.

If you google Dell and WIMBoot sites, you can find posts on doing so in your DV8P...

  • Update Windows and Dell coming 8 Pro windows store questions

    Hello

    I recently bought a Dell coming 8 Pro 32 GB tablet.  Everything is working fine without any problems, but then just the other day I couldn't access is no longer the windows store.  It is just stuck to the green at the loading screen and never changes.  I tried wsrest.exe, but that did nothing.  In addition, and I don't know if they are related, I read that windows store problems can come from need to install windows updates.  So I tried to open the Windows updates, but I can't access any option, whenever I click on something it just freezes.  So I don't know what is happening!  If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, I too have had the same problem but have managed to solve. I went in desktop and accessed the control panel. Click system and security, then under windows update click on ' check for updates '. Once done, it should tell you that you have updated and click on install. Let it do its thing and when it asks to restart so and once rebooted, and all updates installed the windows store should work again that how I got mine will once again. It will be useful.

  • Reference Dell coming 8 Pro poor choice of taking Micro has USB with USB Micro-B plug. Already broken!

    Got the Dell coming 8 Pro Tablet and there seems to be a great Windows Tablet. But I already broke one of the pins in the Micro USB connector. Funny, it is taking the Tablet is a rectangular Micro-A and the power cable plug is Micro-B (form no-brainer which allows you to plug in the right direction, if the plug is also Micro B). You can easily put the Micro-B plug in the Micro-A plug in the wrong way, and if force you it, it will break the pins inside. Just like I did today! I don't know who in the world made this choice! I have been using Android phones that are using the Micro-B Plug and a Micro-B plug correctly!

    For my problem, I'll try to call Dell and see if they will replace the connector. :-(

    Again device shipped, put the old device in box to send back for warranty. Tech couldn't confirm whether or not I would be charged. For me they will say it is the end user damaged and charge me for a new tablet.  If the end-user damaged, which I do not think that it is, I would rather just replace the USB jack, but do not have this option.  FYI - supervisor confirmed that Best Buy didn't was NOT a local tech - happy I rally call would have laughed if Geek squad guy

  • (Redirected) Dell coming 11 Pro micro SD card tray

    The micro SD card tray (as described on page 11 of the Dell coming 11 Pro user guide) broke, and I'm trying to get a replacement.

    After 16 calls to Dell... anyone know what I'm talking about (even if I use the EXACT user guide PHRASE to describe the part.)

    1 does anyone know the part number for the micro SD card tray?

    2. does anyone know where I can get the part? (Dell tells me that ordering parts of them takes 6 weeks.)

    I bought this tablet special Windows because it has a USB OTG port, built in... don't even think to see if you could plug a card micro SD directly in the Tablet!  My MISTAKE...

  • Rotation Miracast blocking and screen Dell coming 8 Pro

    ... then... After installing all of the updates, I am always frustrated by the meeting place 8 pro using miracast. I can go up to view without problem, however once I got it on the second screen only, I can launch and use the desktop in landscape mode, however, when I run (or in this case to install Skype desktop) the screen is automatically rotated in portrait mode (I put in rotation to "lock"). It is VERY annoying, I have to unplug the 2nd screen, just to be able to navigate through the screen as everything is now 'out' to portrait again! (I tried to make profiles to block in landscape mode, without result, the Tablet just begins to turn in portrait mode!...) Which, if all parameters, will keep the display in a mode "locked"? Sometimes I can turn the tablet in portrait mode, landscape to get my 2nd screen to show again.

    I have no love of Dell support because they seem perplexed by their own device. Is miracast a 'standard '? I have NO problem with android devices, like I can "lock" the display in portrait mode or landscape. I notice Dell coming 8 Pro is not a certified device miracast (I think I saw this on the site of alliance miracast?) Is this a problem with this device (such as the active stylus fiasco?) All I wanted was to have my tablet in landscape mode, with a keyboard and a mouse (no problem) and "cast" fashion LANDSCAPE IN and lock it!

    Is there ANYWHERE for a guide to not clear and concise for not having the scenario of Tablet/miracast above work? I been hit n miss here!

    Thanks in advance!

    Update: finally have a stable connection... BUT. DON'T let NOT the tablet to go to "sleep", or whatever he decided to do, the connection is lost, and only a reboot will find/reset the wireless adapter.  Looks like this was not thought good/tested/implemented?... Actually got extend to work... as long as this dosent puppy tries to return to auto rotation...

    Your "Update" did not appear until after the page refreshes when I posted my 1st reply...

    The connection to the time-out of PTV wiil (drop) after some time, if the PC interrupts the communication... IMO, it's normal and my connection WiDi of a laptop which is also. What not 'normal' is to have to re-boot to restore.

  • Cannot connect large hard drives to Dell coming 8 Pro

    I bought a Dell coming 8 Pro yesterday and have several questions.   I'll post the others separately.

    I tried to connect several large (500 GB, 1 TB) hard drives in the device, but it does not recognize them.   I tried this with at least 3 of them so far.  It does not seem to recognize young readers usb very well.    Does anyone else have this problem?  Workaround solutions?   Seems to limit the usefulness of a device with a small disc hard (I got the 64 GB version).

    Hey, Buzz,

    Your biggest hard disks have ports to connect an external power supply? The venue Pro 8 is a small portable device with OTG, or supported USB ' On the Go ' as some phones. When used with an OTG cable, it can act as a USB host for simple devices of power like maps flash, mouse and keyboards, but not devices with rotating mass like hard drives large (or perhaps old) and fancy as USB vacuum keyboard and fan items. If your hard drives just to make a clicking sound when it is attached, it is likely that they do not receive enough power to spin to the top. This is normal for OTG devices. And if you don't have a power supply for the readers, you could try a self-powered USB hub that can provide more power to readers and still allows the V8P communicate as host.

  • Reference Dell coming 8 Pro availability in India

    Hello

    It's not even a single tablet of DELL in India which has a huge demand for a decent tablet device. The last-born Dell place 8 pro fits perfectly to the Indian market for its specifications and price.

    While competitors like Asus (t100), HP (ElitePad), Lenovo (IdeaPad & ThinkPad) already announced or launched the windows tablet devices, prices and specifications of low-end are what makes them so popular.

    So my question is... When DELL account at the launch of the Conference Series tablets, especially coming 8 Pro in India?

    rakrockon

    Yes... lets hope it... I'm going to place 8 pro upon its release in India. Also hope that there will be huge difference in price compared with the price tag of $299 in the United States.

    Hello Rakrockon,

    Thank you for your interest in Dell coming Pro 8. Different products are released in different regions at different times and with different options according to the demand of customers, limitations in service and logistical support.  We will be releasing in India in the near future.  If the output goes as in other regions, the WIFI version will be released first, followed by the version Mobile broadband.

    Come back often!

  • Adding DVD to Dell coming 8 Pro software programs

    Is it possible to add a software I have on DVD to a coming 8 Pro?

    Well, it depends on the particular DVD player, and you raised still another possibility to ensure that portable DVD player gets the power it needs to run.  (I'm not sure if your opportunity would work, however, as the laptop and the Tablet might think they have 'ownership' of the DVD player, and that could cause a conflict.)

    If the portable DVD Player connects directly to an electrical outlet (I have a large DVD player, old people do that), it will have all the power it needs and then you just plug the USB cable from the DVD player into a USB OTG cable adapter, connected to the tablet.

    If the DVD is powered by the USB connection (like many modern slim portable DVD players), it is possible that the tablet can provide enough power to run the DVD player directly (still once, plug the USB cable of the drive in a USB OTG cable adapter connected to the Tablet).  But if the DVD player does not receive enough power in this way (mine does not), which goes back to my original idea, you would plug its USB cable to a USB hub powered (that itself is related to the sector, which player will equip the DVD), and then the USB cable between the USB hub to the USB OTG cable adapter attached to the tablet.  Or you can try to use the power of Dell + dongle data mentioned above and see if the DVD gets enough power to be run this way--that worked for me.

    DVD player portable sample, which uses the power of USB (Note: there are many out there): http://www.amazon.com/Rewriteable-Mini-Note-2133-KX870AT-2133-KX868AT-USB/dp/B003AVGN5M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1412909408 & sr = 8-1 & keywords = hp + laptop + dvd + drive is the one I have (I bought an open-box mixed unit for sale): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BI4BRNQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8 & psc = 1

    (If Dell links don't work no, just do a search on the terms in the Dell store).

    Personally, I like the idea (if a DVD player power need "help") to use the data + power supply Dell dongle - it worked for me and others have reported the same.  This is a simple installation, and then you have the dongle for other uses as well.  But you should see if your DVD player gets enough power in this way.

    Hope this helps-

  • Tablet Dell coming 8 Pro does not start

    Hello

    The Tablet is only about a year. And I've kept it's safe and sound, no damages or drops. Nothing.

    But yesterday morning when I got it, he went to sea and no matter what I do, it does not start!

    I press and hold the start buttong. Nada. I even press the windows key or was desperate enough to press the volume even toggles!

    I thought that maybe the load isn't enough. So I let it charge overnight. Still nothing.

    He used to have a small problem before that sometimes he used to take a few minutes to actually boot (startup). But it's random and many times, it was when an update has been installed. But not always.

    But this time, he stayed off the coast and after more than 24 hours, does not illuminate!

    What should I do?

    Thank you

    I think just, I solved this problem. Make absolutely certain that you are using the supplied with your coming Pro USB wall wart, similar and ordinary phone chargers don't work reliably and sometimes not at all! There will be a sticker on the side of her windows. The Pro should need more energy than what is normally fed by normal phone chargers. I hope this helps!

    Also, I think that light orange/red momentary while that push the power button is actually an indicator of battery flat (as crazy as it sounds). These types of batteries are supposed to be completely empty as it will ruin their fast enough, so they are designed to power off with a few charges left to protect themselves to be completely discharged.

  • My Dell coming 8 Pro Tablet cannot connect to the internet

    After that the last update, my Tablet Windows couldn't access the internet. I get this message when I run a troubleshooting tool:

    "The Dell Wireless 1538.802.11 a / ln g adapter knows pilot - or hardware-related problems."

    My tablet is our guarantee.

    I contacted Dell support via my laptop and got absolutely nowhere, was mixed around until I finally got a page that asked me several times for my service ticket #.  Whenever I provided, he gave me the same screen, he demands again. A little surreal.

    So here's what I know: my Tablet has no wi - fi connection. My tablet is plugged into my laptop, but my laptop does not recognize it as a drive. So I can't transfer anything directly from the internet on my Tablet through my laptop.

    (They are both products of Dell. Family feud?)

    So I need to find a way to get information on my Tablet without a direct connection and wi - fi, in which case the problem requires that.

    Or it could just be a problem with Windows Update. A year ago, someone has answered a similar question on this forum and advised the questioner to find the numbered Windows updates installed Xxxx and Xxxx, then uninstall them. The numbers, of course, do not match updates that have been installed just before that my internet connection disappeared. So I would have no idea what to uninstall.

    I would appreciate any advice on how to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Janice

    In a general way, because your DV8P is a complete computer, you can just connect to your PC you could do with a smartphone (you may be able to do using a special cable).

    To solve the problem of WiFi:

    I had this problem and Dell technical assistance asked me to do a 'discharge' on the Tablet (apparently, static can accumulate in the Tablet, leading to the issue of WiFi).  Disconnect the power supply, if connected. Hold down the power button / stop of the Tablet and turn the Tablet completely off, continue to press and hold the power for 30 seconds (or maybe a minute); Let the only Tablet for 2 minutes; the Tablet is reactivated.  Which, we hope, will fix the problem (it was for me).

  • Best way to factory reset my Dell coming 11 Pro (5130)

    I would like to reset my place of 11 meetings back to factory, but it seems that there are 2 ways to do this. First way I see is that I can go into Windows and then to update & recovery settings and then remove everything and re - install Windows. Also, I see that I can also go in the app My Dell and then do a restore of the original Image. Which way is the cleanest? If I go through Windows it will restore all my apps from Dell which came stock on this Tablet?

    I use the Microsoft Windows 8 process. Created a recovery USB drive using 'Create the recovery drive' without problems (on V11P 5130 and 7130 and V8P).
    The Dell software nothing like problems caused to me reset my system. On Dell V8P software has same bug that you cannot restore without going through the system hung to AC that you can't because you need the USB for the recovery disc.

    Using the Windows recovery disc / drive installed applications from Dell and Office as well.
    I also removed the recovery recovery disk wizard disk using the Windows 8.

  • Keyboard Slim lose the connection with the Dell coming 11 Pro

    Someone meets keyboard slim interruption of connection with the Dell pro 11 site?

    He might have to unplug the keyboard, and the re - attach the keyboard to the Tablet again to use the keyboard.

    I have two Dell 11 pro + keyboard slim venue. Both devices have this kind of problem.
    It's absolutely wrong.

    How to solve this problem?

    Besides working with Dell Pro they explained to me that the keyboard must be used on a flat surface (not towers for example) and the keyboard & tablet should be at an angle of about 117 degrees between them.  Now, of course, you can't measure it, so just assume if you use on a table or desk and its supported properly you have to the correct angle.

    I find that if the keyboard does not after sleep or start arriving, simply lift the keyboard out of the surface of the table a few inches and let it fall down.  It will immediately start working.   I think that there is a sensor in the keyboard, which is not always realize or to calibrate properly in coming to life.

    If you have complications beyond the keyboard chip out of sleep, I'd take it upward with the support to push the issue.
