[SOLVED] Need help in installing OS in my old windows tablet (Having a hard time installing via boot thru USB)

[Tyrone51]

Hi I have an old OEM windows tablet that has a pre-installed windows 8.1 back when I first bought this. the specs are:

• Intel Atom Z3735F Baytrail-T processor, 1.8 GHz Quad Core with Hyper-Threading Technology
• Intel HD Graphics Gen 7
• 2GB DDR3L RAM
• 10.1-inch Multitouch Capacitive Screen with In-Plane Switching (IPS); 1280 x 800 resolution
• 32GB storage, expandable via MicroSD up to 64GB Expansion
• 5-megapixel rear camera
• 2-megapixel front camera
• WiFi, Bluetooth, mini HDMI
• 7500mAh Li-Ion battery
• Windows 8.1 with free 1-year subscription to Office 365

A few years ago I upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10.

now come 2020 I wanted to install new lightweight OS on this to give my old windows tablet a new life.

I installed CloudReady OS and set my tablet to boot via USB in next restart via windows 10.

The tablet booted up CloudReady OS and I installed it but it keeps getting error when I am installing.

Now here is my problem.

1. I can no longer go back to windows 10
2. I tried installing other OS (including windows 10) but it does not boot it is only stuck at the manufacturer's logo
3. I can still boot from CloudReady OS but it does not let me install the OS, it just allows me to boot the OS via USB

Thanks in advance. I have tried researching my best on possible ways but most guides I see are the usual booting process

Edit:
Model: Starmobile Engage 10 pro (Manufacturer is no longer active and I cant contact customer support)
CloudReady OS installer creates its own bootable USB
for other OS I've tried. I used Rufus

You messed up the boot loader menu. Your win10 install is still there, but with no way to get to it.

is there a way to "factory reset" the tablet?
I can still access BIOS if that helps

See if you can boot the win10 install in the usb. Then you can probably repair the win10 install.

It did not work, i used rufus for creating a bootable thumbdrive
