At Reboot IT, we recognize that choosing the right tablet is crucial, and understanding the differences between Windows tablets and other tablets can help you make an informed decision. Here are the main differences:

Operating System:Windows tablets run on Microsoft's Windows operating system, which is similar to the version you would find on a desktop or laptop. This contrasts with other tablets that typically run on operating systems like Apple's iOS for iPads or Android for many other brands.

Software Compatibility:Windows tablets can run full desktop applications, including the full Microsoft Office suite and other professional software, which is a significant advantage for users who need these applications for work or study.

User Interface:Windows tablets offer a desktop-like experience with the ability to use a mouse and keyboard, as well as a touch-optimized interface. Other tablets, such as iPads and Android tablets, are primarily designed for touch and may not support mouse and keyboard to the same extent.

Hardware Versatility:Many Windows tablets come with ports that allow for easy connection to peripherals like external monitors, USB drives, and more, providing a more PC-like experience. Other tablets may require special adapters for such connectivity.

Expandable Storage:Some Windows tablets have a microSD or SD card slot for expandable storage, while this feature is less common or not available on other tablets.

Multitasking Capabilities:Windows tablets often boast robust multitasking capabilities, with the ability to run multiple apps side by side, similar to a traditional computer. Other tablets may have more limitations in this area.

Price Range:Windows tablets come in a wide price range, from affordable entry-level models to high-end devices. Other tablets, like iPads, typically start at a higher price point but offer a highly optimized ecosystem of apps and accessories.

At Reboot IT, our range of refurbished Windows tablets provides the functionality of a PC with the convenience of a tablet, all at a great value. If you have any questions about how a Windows tablet can meet your specific needs, our customer service team is here to help guide you through our selection.

Yes, Windows tablets are capable of running the same programs as a Windows PC. At Reboot IT, our refurbished Windows tablets come equipped with the Windows operating system, which means they can run most of the standard desktop applications you'd expect on a traditional laptop or desktop computer.

This includes the full Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), photo and video editing software, and other professional-grade applications that are designed for Windows. It's one of the key advantages of choosing a Windows tablet — having the power and capability of a PC in a portable and touch-friendly form factor.

However, it's important to note that the performance of these programs will depend on the specifications of the tablet, such as the processor speed, RAM, and storage. Higher-end Windows tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro series will typically run these programs more efficiently than entry-level models.

At Reboot IT, we ensure that our refurbished Windows tablets meet a high standard of performance, allowing you to work and play with confidence. If you have any questions about specific applications or the capabilities of our Windows tablets, our customer service team is ready to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.

Absolutely, you can use a keyboard and mouse with a Windows tablet. At Reboot IT, many of the refurbished Windows tablets we offer are designed to work seamlessly with these peripherals, enhancing their functionality and providing a more traditional PC experience when needed.

Windows tablets often come with Bluetooth capability, allowing you to connect wireless keyboards and mice easily. Additionally, many models feature USB ports or dock connectors where you can plug in wired keyboards and mice or use a USB hub to connect multiple accessories.

Some Windows tablets, particularly those in the Microsoft Surface series, can also be used with specifically designed keyboard covers that double as protective cases. These keyboard covers often include a trackpad as well, giving you the full laptop-like functionality with the added benefit of portability.

Using a keyboard and mouse with your Windows tablet can significantly boost productivity, especially for tasks that involve extensive typing or precise navigation. If you need recommendations on compatible keyboards and mice or have any other questions about accessory options for Windows tablets, the Reboot IT customer service team is here to help.

Updating the operating system on a Windows tablet is a straightforward process, and at Reboot IT, we recommend keeping your device up to date to ensure you have the latest features and security enhancements. Here's how you can update the operating system on your Windows tablet:

• Connect to Wi-Fi: Make sure your Windows tablet is connected to a Wi-Fi network to download the update.
• Charge Your Tablet: It's a good practice to have your tablet fully charged or plugged in during the update process to prevent any interruptions due to battery depletion.
• Back Up Your Data: Although updating should not affect your personal files, it's always wise to back up your data before proceeding with an operating system update.
• Go to Settings: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and tap 'Settings', or if you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen and click 'Settings'.
• Update & Security: In the Settings menu, select 'Update & Security'.
• Check for Updates: Click on 'Windows Update', and then select 'Check for updates'. If there are updates available, your tablet will start downloading them.
• Install Updates: After the updates have been downloaded, you may be prompted to install them. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Your tablet might need to restart one or more times during the process.
• Restart if Required: Once the installation is complete, restart your tablet if it hasn't already prompted you to do so, to ensure all updates are correctly applied.

However, subsequent updates may become available, and we encourage you to keep your device current.
