Hi,
I recently purchased a mini PC from Amazon.co.uk (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M8NQCQ5/ ) although for some reason they are no longer available. (I appreciate that the spec does make it sound more like a cheap tablet than a PC though!)
Surprisingly, despite excessive 'Googling', I am finding it difficult to obtain much more information on this particular product. The logo which appears whenever it is booted up shows the name VOUQI and it appears to be based on the Intel Valleyview setup.
Although it came with what appeared to be a genuine (Chinese) version of Windows 8.1 with Bing, with an option for an English installation, any attempt to go 'behind the scenes' as it were resulted in 'Chinese only' pages being displayed.
I did try and upgrade this to Windows 10, but after 14 hours searching for updates I gave up, got rid of everything, and installed a completely new UK version from a USB drive.
The device manager initially showed a "PCI Encryption/Decryption Controller" query, which I eventually fixed by finding the appropriate "Intel Trusted Execution Engine" files, and it is now error free.
What is not shown however is any reference to Bluetooth at all, despite it being shown as a feature, and I am also concerned at the lack of any audio output... even from the HDMI socket.
I even tried plugging in an external Bluetooth USB adaptor (which my 'main' Windows 10 PC recognised immediately) but this was not picked up at all either. This is a shame, as I had thought a 'quick fix' might be to use one of these devices with Bluetooth speakers.
I have not shown the full spec here, as it is listed in the above link, but it comes with an Intel Atom Quad-Core 64bit Z3735D processor and, apart from the two problems I have mentioned, seems to 'work' surprisingly well!
It is actually a very neat, well built and attractive looking device, the small, or even tiny, size of which really appealed to me, but I wondered if anyone has come across the name 'VOUQI' before, or has any idea where I might be able to find some more appropriate drivers, or configuration files?
I have of course contacted the supplier directly (through Amazon) and am currently waiting for a reply, but in the meantime I am hoping that some of the many experts on here might be able to help me progress a bit further!
Thanks!
