16. will pop up an alert if you want to overwrite a file, just say yes.

17. in the end click close, remove the usb flashdrive, click file and exit.

18. now you should boot on the choosen OS.

19a. if you choose MIUI, you can install the Google Play Store using this: https://goo.gl/gnz6wn and installing it inthat exactly order, 1 2 3 and 4; you can send the files via bluetooth, or you can install onedrive via MiStore forexample and put the files in the cloud.

19b. if you choose Windows 10, you don't need to install any drivers at all, everything should be working as a newwindows version tablet.

Note: The Windows image was captured from a brand new windows version Mi pad 2; the windows activatesautomatically afer 1st connection to the internet (at least in my 2 units). If you have a originally MIUI Mi Pad 2version, let me know if it activates too as I can't tell that yet because I don't have 1.

Note 2: If you ordered a Mi Pad 2 with Windows Version elsewhere fom Gearbest and you didn't receive ityet, PLEASE let me know before 1st boot. My units were ordered from Gearbest and both came opened(not sealed) and with admin account created. If you receive a sealed unit, you are my hope to get aperfect perfect perfect drive image. Hope someone will do it for me after his work.

ATTENTION 16GB OWNERS: THIS SHOULD WORK IN THE 16GB VERSION TOO (I haven't one to try), BUTMY ADVICE IS, BEFORE GIVE A TRY FLASHING WINDOWS ON IN, YOU SHOULD DO A BACKUP FROM YOURCURRENT MIUI DRIVE; YOU CAN DO IT WITH THE SAME USB FLASH DRIVE, BUT YOU WILL CHOOSEBACKUP INSTEAD OF RESTORE

BIGGEST ATTENTION: I AM NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAN CAUSE TO YOUREQUIPMENT USING THIS.
