## Exploiting for installation

Before continuing, this is the most crucial part to get the tablets running on Windows 10.

1. Sometimes you have to clear the eMMC to proceed, this can only happen when you've updated past a point where jailbreaks no longer work or you used Alexen's guide<br>

   Assuming there is nothing on there you need to keep do the following from WinRE command prompt, you can use the same BMR or Media Builder USB to get to command prompt. Power off, insert USB with your recovery files and boot from it by holding vol down while powering on. Once its booted do this:

   ```
   1. Select keyboard layout.
   2. Select "Troubleshoot".
   3. Select "Advanced Options".
   4. Select "Command Prompt".
   ```

   At command prompt type the following:

   ```
   diskpart
   sel dis 0
   clean
   exit
   ```

   Power off, insert USB with your recovery files and boot from it by holding vol down while powering on. Once its booted do this:

   ```
   1. Select keyboard layout.
   2. Select "Troubleshoot".
   3. Select "Reset your PC".
   4. Select target OS to be replaced if there is one, this step won't exist if you clear the eMMC before starting.
   5. Select "Next".
   6. Select "Yes, repartition the drives".
   7. Choose desired drive erasure level .
   8. Select "Reset".
   ```
2. Follow <https://openrt.gitbook.io/open-surfacert/common/boot-sequence/uefi/secure-boot/surface-rt-and-surface-2-jailbreak-usb> to set up jailbreak on your device
3. Generate an image using <https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-10-build-15035-media-builder.4232301/>
4. Plug the drive into your tablet and boot off of it by pressing `Power` and holding `Volume down`
