H E LP STATION
Q &Ainstall went fine, but now I find
key functionality – the
touchscreen, audio and so on – is
missing. I’ve tried searching
Windows Update, using
DriverBooster, but no luck. Given
it’s an Intel chip, I’m hoping the
drivers exist somewhere on the
Intel website but have no idea
what I should be looking for.
Please help!
Dennis LaurenceLinx no longer supports the
1010-series of tablets, but
thankfully the user base has
tracked down the key drivers you
need to get this functionality back
again. You need to download a
single driver from Intel: thedownload the latest
manufacturer-supplied driver if
you wish to take full advantage.

FreeBlu-rayplayer
I’m looking for a way – preferably
free – that allows me to watch
Blu-rays on my Windows 10 PC
with all the menus. VLC Media
Player does a decent enough job,
but its lack of menus makes it
difficult to navigate.

Try LEAWO Blu-ray Player (www.
leawo.org/blu-ray-player), which
despite the nag about being
unregistered, is completely free to
use for watching Blu-rays. You
gain access to the menus, and it
also promises region-free
playback for both Blu-rays and
DVDs. It can also be used to play a
wide range of video and audio files
too. The Premium version (US$23
per year) adds the ability to
convert your Blu-rays and DVDs to
MKV files, but this functionality
can also be found elsewhere for
free (try MakeMKV –www.
makemk v.com).

I have a Linx 1010 tablet and was
only able to upgrade to the latest
version (1909) of Windows by
installing it from scratch. The

zip package(less than 1MB in
size, believe it or not) to your PC,
extract the contents and then run
the setup file. Once complete,
you’ll find all the missing
functionality is back in place – if
you then run a scan with
DriverBooster again, you’ll find it
will detect driver updates for all
those core components, which
you can download and install if
you wish.

Reinstallationblues
I recently reinstalled Windows
using the excellent guide in your
magazine, and it went very well.
On setting up I was asked to
create a PIN number, which I did,
recalling that in previous setups
I’ve been able to remove this
later. However, this time, after
removing the PIN I find I need a
password to log into the machine.
Is there any way I can circumvent
this and go straight into
Windows?
