OK I made my own driver pack from the Pipo driver pack and ripped drivers (missing from the Pipo pack) that I ripped from the stock Win 8.1 install from the X7 itself.
These work on Windows 8.0, 8.1 Pro, 8.1 + Bing, 10 Preview! I have tested them on each of these versions.
This has NO other drivers that are not needed unlike the Pipo X7 Driver download! Their driver setup is not just for the X7 but also their tablets. This one is clean and made only for the X7!
So our download server is down so I am putting this on my Google Drive. I hope all you guys don't cause too much downloads!
Here is the download for my Driver pack:

Second. This is a manual install driver pack. There is no .BAT file as I have not had time to do that.
So to make this easy for people that have not done this before I made a video showing how. This shows me installing all the drivers after a fresh Win 10 Preview install. This would be exactly the same for a fresh install of 8.1.
SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY VIDEO QUALITY! I did this quick and used my Go Pro camera pointed at the screen. I promise next time I will use better technology
Here is a link to the video:

Now if you don't want to watch this video here are the short text instructions:
1) Download this and unzip it to a folder somewhere you can find it on your Pipo X7.
2) Setup your windows to show hidden files and file extensions. If you don't do this, it will be harder!
3) Optional but I recommend you open your device manager in control panel so you can see what is going on.
4) Go into each folder in the list and find the .INF file. Right click on it and select install. Do this for ALL driver folder EXCEPT Graphics!!!! I will explain graphics drivers at the end.
Some drivers after install may tell you to reboot. Do it.
5) For the audio drivers there are TWO .INF files. Install both of those!
6) Now even though you installed audio drivers do not expect audio through HDMI to work. YOu need the graphics driver now. Do this LAST after doing all the other drivers.
7) Open device manager and click on the > next to display adapters.
8) It should display something like MS display adapter or some generic adapter. Right click on that and select update driver.
9) Select browse my computer for the driver and on the next screen select browse button.
10) Navigate to where you saved the driver folders. Click on the graphics folder BUT DO NOT GO ANY DEEPER into the folders. Click OK.
The Graphics driver will then install. BUT ALSO WATCH at the bottom on your tack bar. This will also install the Intel graphics programs needed! Do not reboot until those have finished.
That's it.... Drivers are all installed and device manager should show no devices without drivers or a yellow mark next to them.
