windows 11 running fine here and tablet mode in windows 11 is interesting... ... View more

and perhaps this time don't delete the partition with the windows installation in! or have the drivers folder saved off first 🙂 I would presume I just run the drivers after the reinstall.. I seem to have posted an incomplete post which I have now edited. I will have an experiment. I have a backup and a clone of the ssd now anyhow so I can't possibly mess it up..   ... View more

Well all good.. updated to 21H1 with no problems and backed up.   I am presuming a reset windows will also now still work and I would be interested to know how to do a clean install (if I keep the drivers directory from the C drive). ... View more

So... out of the box the new laptop does as it should.. hoorah.. but it is running version 2004.   By the way it happened again the initial backup on a virgin drive without running windows setup does not work. I had to go in an set windows up.. however I have a clone of my 128gb m2 ssd which I am using now in the laptop just in case I need to go back but so far so good...   Now to run windows update and see....   Windows updates ok at version 2004 and does not seem to blitz anything   Not sure whether  to go to 20H2 or 21H1 as I think tablet mode got an overhaul for one of them   Still having issues with backups not wanting to restore yet clones to. hey ho.. still ok so far. Anyone know the significance of the recovery directory on the C drive. Is it related to customised drivers etc.   ... View more

@daddle   "And  you also have a space underneath to put in a second M2 SSD Drive -SATA Only" Not with this model the only drive is the one in the bottom and is occupied with the 128gb ssd. Which is also why the manual on the medion web site is also wrong from that point of view as it also says this is not occupied but on the e3222 it is. The manual that came with the laptop is actually different to the one on the support page!   the thing that scuppered the last one was the restore did not work hence the need to do a re-install.. 🙂 this time though I will clone to a new m2 before I backup and then I will have two sources of the initial set up...   ...

What would be useful is if the support page had the drivers to download. it only has the manual as it says windows update provides the drivers. The support page does infer that windows update has all the drivers it will need.    I went straight back to Aldi to get a return set up which was done last Thursday. The new one is arriving today. I am going to take a backup of the SSD before I boot it into windows just to make sure  I have a clean backup and then will do one after first boot again to make sure. I might even clone it to a 500gb m2 ssd I have and swap eventually once I know it is working.   And again I do apologise it was 2 weeks as it took over a week to arrive from Aldi in the first place as I ordered it at the end of May on the 29th May. ...

Thanks for your reply.. Doing a complete install of windows in not uncommon.. However I did do a drive image backup that would not restore but I can read and see the files and drive structure. There was no drivers folder on the C drive on there to 'reinstall'. I would have at least expected some sort of setup or other to run to reinstall drivers but there was nothing. Also when you say a driver backup how would one do that (unless you are talking about some sort of driver install folder) and then reinstall that when you refresh windows.   I did request somewhere to download drivers but I never got a response from that particular email. 😞   I just got very frustrated to be honest that I bought something that did not work or will not work the moment I connect it to the internet and do updates.   I am very appreciative of the help I have had here, but the response direct from Medion took 3 weeks to arrive and by then it was too late.   Anyway I hope I eat my words and lots of humble pie when the new one arrives (which is coming from Aldi NOT Medion) and it works well... and I apologise if I may have caused any offence to anyone on here.     ...

@Major_ToM    So does that mean as soon as I apply any updates it will be messed up? Will it work out of the box? if it does not then I will probably send the new one back for a refund as I have certainly had no joy direct from Medion. I have not seen any real help at all on here to be honest. What are the exact 'headaches' as making the notebook not fit for purpose or loose one of it's major functions is not a headache it is a disaster is it not?   Darren ... View more

@Major_ToM    I posted int he other thread because I had the same issue. I did mention my model number there. However, I have returned my laptop because I was not getting any joy and a replacement is arriving today so I shall see what it does out of the box (after I have imaged the drive first incase it is windows updates causing issue. I have been waiting for some considerable time now for help from a the problem I raised direct and heard nothing other than a question asking what touch screen drivers I had.   Overall I have had quite poor service direct from Medion and little help from the community 😞   I hope the new one works and at least goes into tablet mode when flipped but I am not hopeful. it was a pain flipping and having to enable tablet mode manually but the keyboard and mouse were still operative making it unusable.   Darren ...

I reached out to the service centre 3 days ago and still awaiting a response. ... View more

@Gehringer    Imaging files? I did a complete rebuild. I don't know where these imaging files would be. The rebuild was from USB and overwrote my C drive completely. No windows old directory. So basically no use.   I am not sure what version I would need to go back to but that is no help anyway as windows update would bring it up to date and it will not work anyway... I would expect this to work with Windows 21H1..   Can ANYONE confirm that they have this convertible and what version of windows is on it and whether the table mode works automatically?     ...

@Gehringer    yes fresh version of 21H1 ... View more

would a factory reset work given I have installed a fresh copy of windows 10.... ... View more

is there any wat to check the functionality of the hinge. I may have to face the fact that it does not work from new? ... View more

@daddle      that update had no effect. whatever I try it will not go into tablet mode based on flipping the lid over.. if I put it into tablet mode mouse and keyboard also still function     ... View more

I have the same issue if not worse with my E3220 (63810). Clean install of windows. does not go into tablet mode when flipped and also when I manually put it into tablet mode the keyboard and mouse still function.    it is driving me mad as it has not worked since I got this damn thing 😞 ...

I presume nobody has any advice. are there any other users of this device on here that this actually works for? ... View more

The latest build of windows does not have the options that are shown in that link you have sent.   settings has a tablet sub menu with only two options. When I sign in and when I use this device as a table with a menu underneath for change additional tablet settings. the Make Windows more touch-friendly when using your device as a tablet does not exist on the latest build 21H1 ...
