stouricks Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Sounds like you are in deep doo doo. Take it to a computer shop, get them to install W10, any version kosher or not. Download W10 installation media from Microsoft onto a USB stick. Do a clean install which will get rid of anything the shop put on. Get a serial number from Ebay for about £3, and off you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Try opening the Start menu and head to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. If you’re eligible to downgrade, you’ll see an option that says “Go back to Windows 8” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 You should be able to work out where to go by comparing an English version on the web. Strange it took you so long to move to 8.1. What Tablet is it, exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re eligible to downgrade, you’ll see an option that says “Go back to Windows 8” will try to find a thai person to do this, if can go back, would the version be a new download or a return to rec. to my org ver,? why did this come in thai ver. anyway? how dose MS determine which to download?

Yes, it should rollback to what you had before. Perhaps Thai IP address or some regional setting. Anyway, it seems that it will run Windows 10, but you need to utilise the Media Creation Tool; https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 or upgrade direct from a mounted image.

Even though it is in Thai, the Icons will be the same. So he can follow the path of the English version and then replicate it on the Thai version. For instance Settings in the Start menu has a cog icon next to it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
