Update went pretty easy. I think the trick is to make sure you keep you laptop docked on the keyboard. I made sure to charge to 100%. I also made sure that the USB I used, had the most recent version. I am sure you can do the same with a disk. I went into windows with the USB plugged in, and configured it to boot to bios in the windows 8 recovery section. In bios I only set it to boot from USB first. Saved and restarted. The t100 booted to the USB and I started the windows 10 installation. I was able to use the mouse pad and keyboard for the whole install..once I booted into windows 10 I plugged my 64 gb sd card that I had preinstalled the driver packaged(unzipped with windows 8). Forgot to mention pull the sd card before you install windows 10. Pointed all the exclamation in devise manager to the unzipped folder on the sd card and upgraded drivers. Got kinda scary when the video driver updated. But a simple restart fixed it. Made sure windows updated and the windows store apps also. Downloaded all my favorite programs. Windows 10 runs great. Thanks for this post!!!!(forgot-keep your laptop docked till you have completely updated and installed) Thanks Ian,

Finally, skip the upgrade wizard, which can sometimes fail because it's unable to ask for your permission to get past an error. Instead, run Windows Setup directly from downloaded installation files. To do this, use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to download the necessary files to a USB drive; you can also use the option to save the installer as an ISO file, which you can then mount as a virtual drive, with its own drive letter. (For instructions on how to download these files and instructions on mounting ISO files, see "Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade.")
2. Connect the created media to the fitlet2. 3. Power up the fitlet2.4. Press the F7 key during the BIOS boot until the One Time boot menu appears.5. Choose the installation media device.6. The system will boot from the Windows installation media and Windos 10 Installation wizard will start.7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Windows 10 on the fitlet2.
When I rebooted the machine to windows I found that I was able to restart using the "device" which was my live iso from its new SDD partition. The system BIOS (not sure whether the CSM or UEFI component was responsible) was happy to recognise the hybrid iso on the SDD, and process its contents. It apparently found the grub2 efi file in my partition, because I hadn't already copied it to /dev/sda1/EFI/BOOT/. The presence of a grub menu proved the BIOS had booted the efi "personality" of the live iso. I selected the "install ubuntu" menu option, and the installer started running. I told it to use the boot, root and swap partitions I had already prepared and installation ran OK.
The default grub installation had successfully created a directory structure on sda1 which allowed me to boot windows and the BIOS. I changed grub.cfg (on sda1) to not hide its menu and use a long timeout. I then confirmed I could use grub to boot windows, ubuntu (again!) and even the system BIOS menu. I disabled the CSM and rebooted to grub and then into ubuntu.
Everything was working normally with minimal effort, so a lot of hard work from others has made the 16.04 installation process work brilliantly with EFI and co-existence with windows. The only hurdle is bypassing this problem of running the live iso from a usb stick. I still can't do that! 2ff7e9595c
