Well ... sort of.
It has Win10 on board - which means it's downloading another 4GB update1 - but no Android.
And there is a good chance that installing Android may delete the Windows partition, I just read. Sigh | :sigh:

Gawd that was a PITA - looks like Partition Manager partly deleted the disk instead of fully removing it, possibly because it's eMMC and maybe it doesn't know what to do with it. If you need to do this, create a Windows recovery disk and delete all the partitions on the tablet before you try and run the official image installer: it doesn't like existing partitions so I ended up using DISKPART "clear all" which does a security wipe of the internals. Then the official image installer worked fine.

1: Hopefully, that's to Creators Update, not Anniversary edition ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
