Well the solution for the Nextbook Ares 8A (Worked Perfect for me and do at your own risk!!! )
Here are the steps to install adb and Intel drivers, in the proper order:
The best way to to set up adb and fastboot in windows is to install it system wide. Here is an installer to do this that works well:

Install process for 15 sec adb:
1. Run it (Require administrator privileges)
2. Press Y/Yes to install ADB and Fastboot
3. Press Y/Yes to install ADB system-wide
4. Press N/No to skip installing Drivers
5. 15 seconds passed - finished!
6. Now install the Intel drivers listed above and here, again:

Type

You should boot into TWRP recovery. It would be smart to use this time to use twrp to backup your boot,recovery and system to a sdcard.
After backup type this command in.
After that finishes you should use twrp in advanced tab then file manager go to System then go to app in there you will Delete VUDUStartWizard
After that reboot and it may come up with verification failed screen then it will reboot and you will be all set to use you tablet. No activation mess.
