I acquired this affordable Windows tablet from my grandmother. At first, about a quarter of the touch screen isn’t functioning, but I decided to reset Windows for a clean slate. During the process, it crashes at around 39% and doesn’t boot Windows yet. The recovery tools say everything is okay. If anyone has experience, I’m thinking it might be an ICRAG CMP810-BUN model. It’s cheap, but I got it for free, so I’m open to reinstalling Windows or another OS. My goal is just to get it working, even if the specs aren’t great. I’ve tried restoring Windows but don’t have any restore points, so I’m considering a full reinstall or recovery option. I also checked using a micro SD card, but nothing seems to help at the moment.

You should be able to boot from SD card. You can make bootable SD card same way bootable USBs are made. After that it depends on tablet if you can access BIOS for forcing boot (maybe Win settings have option for that). If not, try contacting manufacturer for support. Good part is that its Win10 tablet so drivers won't be issue. Other OS' aren't guaranteed at working at all if there isn't driver support for parts. So any other version of Windows is direct no. And if you have trouble installing Windows, you shouldn't bother with trying Linux.
