The shorthand walkthrough is:
(Disclaimer, don't root if you're not comfortable! There's always a chance to brick a tablet... although low in this case)
Kingo Root App - http://www.kingoapp.com/
Make sure you have developer options enabled:
(If not go to settings -> about tablet -> tap on "Build number" for about 10 times until text pops up that says "You're a developer!")
Go to settings -> developer options
At the top, make sure Developer Options are enabled!!
-> Then under Debugging Header enable USB debugging
Connect tablet to computer, if your tablet is not recognized it may show under your Device Manager as a MT65xx Android Phone.
I had ADB drives on my system already, so to enable the device I right clicked on the MT65xx Android Phone and selected 'Update Driver Software'.
-> Browse my computer for driver software
-> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
-> Android Device -> Next
-> Android ADB Interface -> Next
(Update Driver Warning) -> Yes
-> Close
Then I ran Kingo (you have to accept the connection from the computer to the tablet on the tablet) and after about 4 minutes it was rooted.
Since I didn't find this thread right away I had rooted my tablet 3 times before (now 4 total) while trying to fix the space issue.
ps. I think you can use this link from Google to get the USB drivers I'm using:
