So when you choose TF card and external U disk, please try to choose the high speed read, especially if you wish to buy the TF card with 128G, some might not be recognized. So you may purchase it from some stores which can refund the product without reason, so that you may have a try before making sure it can be used. When you choose the U disk, you may choose the one with MLC high speed flash memory, which will have a faster speed.


Turn off the auto update
If you don’t know WIN 10 well, we suggest you to keep the settings of the original version, do not use auto update, do not install useless drivers, and do not use the factory reset.
