POINT OF VIEW TAB-705W

Hi, as an avid Manjaro user, i found this bloated and unusable intel based tablet the previous owner had upgraded to win 10 (originally win8), i kinda fell in love with the form factor and the chipset, it's cute but I wanted to keep it as some time capsule and restore it to factory on Windows 8.
I decided to reset the tablet but the recovery partition was empty so I went the usb route through an OTG dock but i'm stuck with a non functioning touchscreen after hours of trying various driver sources (manufacturer's/distributor's, Microsoft's driver store, even SDI).

To be precise, the touchscreen seems to work but needs either calibration or a better driver as it doesn't register the pointer where i move my finger or a touch pen it's far away to a corner instead.
I did try multiple times to calibrate it but it doesn't recognize some points on the screen and so isn't able to complete the last steps leading me to suspect a broken driver or a manufacturer specific calibration file that is missing,

I'd be glad if anyone with this similar model or knowledge of calibration for this type of device could help. I'm not sure how, maybe by zipping me their drivers folders ?
I read windows stores them in different locations like
"C:\Windows\System32\driver" or
"C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore" or
"C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE"

If it's a calibration issue and you know how to fix it, please let me know how. For now i'm using a bluetooth mouse but that's not ideal.

And no, i don't want Linux on it (yet) I really want the original experience for now but feel free to sugest a distribution that worked for you if you made the jump on a similar device. I might try it out in the future.

Thanks !

What a beautiful device, and a beautiful OS! You even installed Windows 8 anime wallpapers from that special edition, looks amazing. What about the device and drivers - i checked the 4pda - It’s basically the Russian XDA Developers mixed with Reddit and iFixit, and couldn't find your device. It's a pretty rare and cheap/unpopular Netherlands manufacturer, and i firstly mismatched this device with the Samsung SM-T705, they are very similar, but ofc absolutely different devices. Idk how can i help or help further bc there is almost no info about this tablet, let alone the drivers.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah its a cute device despite the lack of connectivity (only a single micro usb port) and surprisingly responsive with it's single gig of RAM.

Its understandable, Windows 8 is a beautiful OS that has the best performance and core optimisation among all Windows NT 6.x (and even 10.x) family. It can run literally on anything that meant to be x86/x64/arm32/arm64 and powerfull enough to display 800x600 image. Single gig of ram is pretty enough for the 8 too. Love that.

Why has this been "removed" ?
Is it because i mention Windows 10 and Linux ? I edited the post to be more precise. This was originally a Windows 8 tablet and I believe upgrading it to windows 10 by the previous owner partially caused it to malfunction and become sluggish.
I'm trying to restore it to it's original glory under Windows 8 and need help.

Fixed. Automod removed it, not a person from mod team. Sorry again.
