But I remembered that the SW Update tool was available to download. The support page had me fearing that I’d bricked the tablet. Samsung do not share drivers for this tablet on their site. Luckily I had a USB wired network adapter. I logged in, ran Device Manager and found, yes, I was missing LOTS of drivers. Thank f**k that I bought the keyboard or I’d be royally screwed. I touched the screen – nada! I had no touch. Huh!?!? Where was the log into my Microsoft account? Uh oh, I was missing drivers. The first clue that something was wrong was when I was asked to name a new user and set a password. Now I walked through the Windows setup, including wiping all of the existing volumes. I muddled around in here to get the command prompt, browsed to the USB drive (D:), and ran Setup.Exe. This brings you to an advanced startup menu.
