I was given two tablets from a friend a long time ago, both HP Elitepad 900's. One had W8, the other W7 enterprise. The one with W8 I upgraded to 8.1, and for the last few years various versions of W10.... however, the atom clover trail processor/SOC in these never had a W10 driver released, and therefore have all kinds of issues and hiccups running W10.
I have wiped the W8 tablet enough times that I'm pretty sure the factory W8 recovery sector got nuked. For the W7e tablet, I can't seem to get it to boot to USB and can't seem to locate an OEM recovery partition. I don't have an OEM product key for either, as these are 7yo second hand devices....
What are my best choices for restoring to an OEM 8 (or 8.1) ? Or am I up a creek with these?
