Upgrade XPS-10 Windows 8 Enterprise
I have received several XPS-10s and want to upgrade them to windows 8 enterprise from windows 8 RT. We have the media just cant work out how to boot from a usb successfully.
I am aware of the volume up and volume down keys however is there a way to access the BIOS? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Brilliant devices by the way!

I can confirm - not possible. If you need Windows 8 full, you'll need to purchase a tablet with an Intel chipset.
Hi,
Windows RT is ARM processor architecture and the only edition running on this platform. If you wish to use Windows 8 enterprise, the only way is to acquire a Latitude 10 ST2 with Intel Atom x86 processor and upgrade from Windows 8/pro to enteprise release, as long you are entitled to do so by your MS enteprise agreement.

It's not possible to upgrade. Windows 8 RT devices run on the ARM cpu architecture. All other Windows 8 versions are designed to run on the x86 Intel/AMD cpu architecture. They are totally incompatible with each other, they use completely different instruction sets.
