    Restoring Windows on a PiPO X8 with messed up partitions

    In updating my dual boot PiPO X8 I used the wrong size Android file (16G vs 8G). This wiped out win8.1 and its partition. I have since restored the correct Android 8G but am having trouble installing Windows. The Win 10 upgrade disk can't find a partition to install to. Is there some way of restoring the partitions without messing up Android? Or, do I have to simply get rid of all partitions, install Windows and then Android? Could I use a partitioning software to format the 23gig part to ntfs and have the install work? I don't suppose this can be done from the Android side? What a mess !

    Macrium Reflect works. I used the pro version, but the free one should do it too.

      Someone managed to solve the problem?
      I'm also the similar problem and could not much.
      Here Pipo X8 gone to check OS from the beginning, getting a blank screen only and can only give boot with USB Flash in UEFI mode and WINPE is not recognized.
      Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
