Today, after receiving a powered USB hub from Amazon.com.au I am resurrecting a slightly crippled Windows 10 on my Teclast X98 Air 3G tablet. I damaged its drivers by installing "optional updates" for drivers. The optional updates didn't work, and Microsoft did warn that they might not, so it was entirely my fault. But I kind of like the old tablet, so I decided to get a powered hub to use with the downloaded drivers for the X98. I used a fancy windows command to restore the old drivers.
PNPUTIL /add-driver 'D:\Teclast X98 Air 3G\drivers\*inf' /subdirs /install /reboot
which installed 14 drivers, I hope that was all that was needed, and now the tablet is rebooting which is always a rather slow process on an Intel Atom chip.

I write this as information, and as a short report on one of today's activities.

Cheers chaps,
