Note that in my case I did not find the Asus Drivers until after I had installed the Dell drivers using the process in steps 7, 8 and 9. The point being if you are missing any drivers, give the Dell download a shot.
In the end I found that the Video Driver, G Force Sensor and Camera were the biggest problems but the Asus T100 Windows 8.1 SOC package contained all I needed and now there are no UNKNOWNs in my Device Manager.
Could you tell me how much of the 32GB does Win 10 take up? I want to upgrade and add Office 365 - that's all I will need but I am concious that in the past folders such as Winsxs take up HUGE amounts of space.
After upgrade to windows 10, it save 8 GB in 32 GB memory. It was unbelivable
Why on earth would you want to RENT Office. Buy the edition you need and only pay once. I'm still using Office 2007 and it works with Win10.
It is not notably larger than Windows 8. I have Win 10 + Office365 + dozens of apps and still have > 5GB free.
I installed windows 10 using the file that activates the update through windows update, after an hour and some more, it finished. The system UI was laggy and the animations slow, but i just reinstalled the intel chipset drivers and after a reboot everything works smoothly. I can say that it's even faster than with win 8.1.
Give it a try, and don't forget to reinstall the chipset drivers and the lastest bios (uefi) from the official asus support website.
Hi Camonunez
I have a T100TA 32Gig main drive. Win 8.1
I am still incertain about thr Win 10 upgrade.
Firstly, I am certain that I do not have enough space on the main drive.
Secondly I am concerned that the Office 2013 Student edition bundled long with the T100TA would not migrate along with the upgrade and would requre a reinstall -- and that would cause issues. (like i can't find my Office 2013 license key anymore)
I've bewn trawling the net to find similar experiences with the same configuratiion, but thus far havent found any.
That said, having a brand new OS with no Office (that i don't have to pay a subscription for) is not worth the upgrade.
Thanks for the article! Finally made the jump now that Build 10130 is stable, and aside from the screen intermittently flickering black (and a few Windows-specific issues--Action Center not opening, Desktop photo slideshows breaking frequently), it's a great build.
I do still have one device listed as "unknown" in the Device Manager, but I honestly have no idea what it is as I installed everything (so I thought) on the page you provided.
You're right: the most crucial thing to update is the SOC drivers. The display is night/day different once you do that.
One other side note: Windows 10 seems to have fixed my BSOD issue related to an Intel power driver (which I also believe was the cause of my constant battery drain when in sleep mode wherein the hard drive wouldn't disconnect).
Thanks!
Hi! Do you know if it is possible to return to windows 8.1 after you have upgraded to windows 10?
Yes, it is supposed to be able to roll back for 30 days. After that time the WINDOWS.OLD folder is supposed to be automatically deleted and roll back will no longer be an option.
Thanks! I was able to get Win10 installed on mine and everything seems to work good! The only issue I have is with my camera. The picture is extremely fuzzy and not sharp like it was in Win 8. It has driver version 603.9600.1648.31252 installed. I'm curious, if yours is working well, what version you are using? Thanks!
I had not noticed any problems with it. My T100 is not accessible to me right now so I can not give you a build number, sorry :(
when i log into the uefi the only choice i have under boot is windows boot manager either enabled or disabled. i do not have a choice for my external dvd/cd drive. Any ideas. i have 313 bios onboard.
Hi Craig; I have only seen this using an older Samsung external DVD that came with a USB cable using TWO USB connectors. If BOTH connectors were not plugged in, the external USB would have enough power to spin but not enough for the laptop to use it.
One question I have is, how has your battery life been with Win 10?
I am running my laptops mostly like PC's in that I have them in docks so I seldom see battery issues. That being said I have not noticed any problems. What are you seeing with your battery under Windows 10?
Nicely done, I'm there as well, but i want to rid my c drive of the windows old file, i didn't have to wipe it to get it installed.
I am running a 128 GiG Micro Sd card but want to get win Old gone.
any ideas?
Thanks /vegasvinman@gmail.com
I think you can safely dump C:\WINDOWS_OLD . I would rename WINDOWS_OLD, reboot and run it for a few days first but I think it is junk.

Yes Windows 10 is smaller because of compression and the removal of recovery partitions. See: http://www.urtech.ca/2015/08/solved-why-does-windows-10-take-less-space-than-windows-7-or-8/

Hi Camonuez, I have two quick thoughts. 1: the upgrade SHOULD not lose ANY of your programs. 2: Windows 10 should SAVE your many GB of disk space: http://www.urtech.ca/2015/08/solved-why-does-windows-10-take-less-space-than-windows-7-or-8/
I hope this helps.
