Before you start, you will need a USB Stick with 512 MB storage or more, a USB keyboard, a USB-hub, the latest image Generic UEFI Installer image which you can grab from: 01.org/android-ia/downloads and also, the Image Writer Tool, which can be found at this link: launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/
Step 1: First off, you will need to set up a bootable USB. Download the Image Writer Tool, extract the ”Win32DiskImager.exe,” and once that’s done, find the .img file you downloaded previously and hit “Write.”

Step 3: Next, we’ll be setting up the tablet to read and boot from the USB. Press and hold the Power and Windows button to enter BIOS Settings, and ensure UEFI boot modus is selected.
Step 4: Switch your tablet off, insert your USB-hub with USB Stick and Keyboard connected, and power on your device whilst holding F12.
