Fresh Installing Windows on a Dell Venue 10 Pro 5055, it's not possible?
So I've been trying for the better part of today to find a way to freshly install Windows 10 on my Venue 10 Pro 5055, normally I'd use a Bootable USB with Win 10 but I cannot get the BIOS to notice the drive. I'm running Aptio A08 (which is the version available from here) but this is the only options i get on the BIOS. It seems I can add a file to boot from but that's quite annoying. I've also tried selecting it through Windows Boot Manager but it only shows up if I add another boot option myself (which always fails since I think I'm selecting the wrong boot file?) I don't know what else to do other then post here!

Tanga purchase? Just bought 2, and trying to put a fresh copy myself (as they are, they are randomly rebooting-- both of them.)
Was just making a boot drive with media creation tool.....
Mostly posting for solidarity as I have no solution yet, but if i figure it out, i'll post back.
good luck to us both!

I have been able to get to the install screen but I am unable to get it to start the installation as it shows 4 partitions, one of which is Recovery, and none of them will format or can I get it to start an install. I have a 32 bit ISO and a 64 bit ISO and neither will work. Using both the Dell OS Recovery and trying the Microsoft Media Creation tool. The irritating part is that there is no way to get Dell to stand up and give some way to get it working. They are just interested in selling new tablets and not keeping customers loyal.

I am having the exact same issue ... Mine won't boot off the Win USD nor a few Linux distros either. There was a point that I thought it may be the SD card that I had installed. I thought maybe the sys was confusing it for the USB drive .. but that was not the case.
I have now also encountered the issue that mine will not reset because there is no space available ... NO SPACE AVAILABLE TO WIPE A DRIVE!!!!?? Come on Windows
Anyone have a solution for that ?
