Hello! Your tablet from 2014 has a solid setup for dual-booting. To switch between Windows and Ubuntu, you’ll need to install the respective OS on a bootable USB drive. Make sure your tablet’s BIOS supports dual-boot and check compatibility with both systems. Regarding Software Update 10, it’s not necessary unless you’re upgrading from an older version—stick with the latest stable release for security and performance.
Ubuntu and Linux continue to offer 32-bit support for older applications.
Ubuntu offers support for older versions, but not the latest ones. Developers halted releasing 32-bit packages due to security concerns. https://ubuntu.com/blog/statement-on-32-...-20-04-lts Running a 32-bit system isn't recommended. Software updates have also moved away from providing 32-bit options for a while.
Windows 10 32Bit support is limited, but you can find it on trusted repositories or community sites. For Ubuntu 2010 Office 365 compatibility, check official documentation or forums.
Office needs to operate through the Wine Compatibility layer based on your configuration, so I wouldn't suggest it. Although certain Distros and packages still back 32-bit support, that selection is dwindling. Windows 10 would actually be a more suitable choice for that hardware, provided you can set up another operating system. Many Android tablets rely on a restricted boot-loader setup.
Check the instructions for accessing the BIOS. It looks like both Android and Windows 8 were included on those devices. Try aligning the listed settings from that page. If successful, you'll require a USB drive and will need to generate a Windows installation media using the provided link. You may need to buy a product key to avoid watermarks and restrict customization options. After setup, follow the same steps but choose the boot menu and pick your USB drive.
