Intel Atom x5-Z8350 SOC W8.1 drivers installer

Hello.

 

I would like to ask for guidance on where could I find a installer for this particular SoC under Braswell, Windows 8.1 64-bits.

 

I have already tried using Windows 10 .INF drivers extracting them by Dism Export-WindowsDriver and slipstraming into the desired install.wim.

 

Windows 10 is not suitable in any way for your low-end tablet solutions. I say this because I own a z3775 2-in1 lapbook and it runs smooth on W8.1 32b. w10 is bloated and sluggish. Intel should reconsider these arrangements with Micosoft. What's the point creating a nice hardware if it will use a rubbish system anyway?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

Hello CSobr,

 

Thank you for submitting your question on this Intel® Community.

 

System-on-a-Chip (SOC) driver packages should be provided by your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). In this scenario, our recommendation is that you can contact them so that they can provide you with this driver package and further installation instructions. In that way, you will avoid incompatibility issues that may cause other problems. 

 

It is worth noting that your feedback is highly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention.

 

I will try that with the retail seller and the mobo manufacturer.

 

Best regards!
