I followed the How To for the CF-18 Mk1 by rcx here, and the vast majority of the credit goes to him:īut that procedure assumed a digitizer model, and I have a touchscreen model. I'm putting this how to together since rcx's original thread was for the digitizer model, and a lot of info on the Touchscreen model was getting lost in the size of his thread. I always figured that an SSD might help, but after an abortive attempt last year with a faulty Kingspec SSD, I'd given up for the time being. I'd upgraded by adding a 1gb stick of RAM for a total of 1.25 gb, but while that helped, it was still very slow, so much so that I purchased a CF-19 Mk2. My CF-18 was miserably slow on a stock install of XP with the original hard drive. I took this opportunity when I installed a Transcend 64gb PATA SSD. All buttons work, the touchscreen works (more about that below), and it is reasonably quick. Meaning I have no keyboard, mouse or touchscreen to fulfill the recovery installation.I just successfully did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate on a CF-18 MK2 Touchscreen, model CF-18FHAZXBM, to be exact. I am not sure whether I need to use the Windows 8 (which it originally came with) or whether the Windows 10 version is an option for this model - or whether the Windows 10 version is just an option for a later surface pro 3 model - but it did come up for my serial number.Ģ) How the heck do I install it? I need the only usb slot for the recovery installation usb. But two issues.ġ) There are two options for the serial number entered - either Windows 8 or Windows 10. I have now downloaded the recovery from Microsoft to reinstall it back to factory settings and then see what is working and what isn't. Ok I know so I need to get a usb extender so I can plug both in - but before I do that I am just wondering if I am wasting my time. I have a bluetooth mouse but it still requires a usb thingy to work. And as there is only one usb slot I can't have a keyboard and mouse plugged in at the same time! So reinstalling from usb has me stuck.
So far I have been stuck trying to resolve anything because the touchscreen is not working either (now partially working after I uninstalled the last few Windows updates but only the start menu works with touch screen).
I thought it might be an install/driver issue and have always wanted to try a Surface Pro (curiosity killed the cat lol).
So I picked up a very cheap Surface Pro 3 recently - just to see if I could fix it - it was described as not working with the surface keyboard since windows 10 was installed, but working ok with a usb keyboard and mouse.
