Venue 8 Pro 3845 No Recovery Partition
Any one have suggestions on how to get my Venue 8 Pro back working. It has been having quite a few errors / super slow loading of apps, so I wanted to do a reset. It originally came with Windows 8 (with Bing) but was upgraded to Windows 10 pretty much out of the box. It says that the recovery partition can't be found. I tried using the Dell OS Recovery to download to a USB drive, but when I entered my service tag, it said No OS images defined for this product.
I tried installing Windows 10 from a USB drive, but it said not enough disk space, since I was running the install through Windows.
No Events found!

You cannot run the installer unless you boot the system from the flash drive. You must also use the 32 bit version of Windows - not the 64 bit.

Pretty much the same situation I have. Been going around in circles here. I got the same message about no image found, so what or where can you go to get the OS back to factory image of Windows 8 Basically what I want to do is go back to 8.1 so where can I get the OS?
