On my laptop i have been running LL for some time. But on my tablet i have windows 10. It came with the tablet. Been thinking of installing LL on tablet as well but no idea if thats even possible or that everything would work. For what i use the tablet for windows 10 works, so unless i find a 1000% fool proof and working method of getting linux on the tablet it has to do with windows 10
Can you please post model and specs of the tablet.
Usually tablets are ARM based cpu's , so Using a linux distro with ARM release my be possible.....

So seeing that it is an Intel CPU, it should be possible. However with a quick Google search of your tablet + ubuntu i came across this--->

There is a known issue that you have to use 32bit UEFI with many of these Baytrail devices but all the 64bit Linux distro’s use 64bit UEFI. A special build of Ubuntu exists. You could try that, or use the same technique to get Mint working. Also, often to boot USB on some devices, at least with Mint, you have to turn “secure boot” off in the bios settings.

This post shows all the hoops you must jump through to get Mint installed from USB with an Atom device’ 32bit UEFI. Keep in mind even after this you may need to, depending on your device, upgrade the Kernel and other drivers to get things working like audio and wifi. The post also goes through his shrinking the Windows partition to make room for Linux Mint.

You could try those methods with LinuxLite, maybe let us know if you were successful.
If you have a spare HDD/Flash swap out and run some tests maybe ....? Depends on how much work you are willing to put into it.
It does not look easy though.

There's much more to it than that. The biggest problem is there is no direct support yet for the Wifi device - if yours has the Realtek RTL8723bs.
Search for "XJubuntu" a guy is building a custom Ubuntu distro for this. His website is in Spanish but there's a google translate button there. You can also look him up on the TechTablets forum.
