NOT RECOMMEND FOR MVC 3D KODI
I bought the Z83-II box to use as a dedicated Windows 3D MVC Kodi streamer as it is fanless, it should be able to do MVC 3D with MSDK Kodi build and PCM encoded surround sound. I could not get 3D to work with this box, I have seen others with Z-8300 having problems with 3D only working with specific drivers. I did not have the time for this and the box is now used as a general purpose machine.
Z83II on amazon.co.uk (not longer available, but the V version that has the additional VGA port is), both can be purchased cheaper if you order direct from China.

Summary
You are on your own with this box as AWZ (Beelink) removed all support from their website and removed references to it from the forums.
So there are no downloadable drivers, configured OS image and firmware seems to have more reports of it bricking units than succeeding.
If you do a clean install you will probably not be able to get the WiFi working, due to the lack of downloadable drivers, some people have had success using the Beelink BT3 drivers.
UPDATE: Try the following Z83II – Broadcom 802.11 Adapter Wifi Driver, it is now working on the device.
Good Luck
Hi.
When I’ve downloaded the z83ii-broadcom-802-11-adapter.zip file, how can I install the drivers if I have Ubuntu installed on my Z83?
Thank you very much.

This driver is for Windows 10, I no longer have this device, the Kodlix forum might be able to help:

Thank you!
Thanks so much for your WiFI driver upload to WordPress! I had to re-install the driver as well on mine, but I do have all the drivers for this box in a self run install batch file, a one click and it grabs everything and installs the drivers via run command, it was once from their site. I have two of these boxes and they were great for simple tasks and also some big ones I threw at it, it is not a desktop machine for sure but great for Kodi, email and web browsing. I thank you again for the upload!
The website with the drivers was removed by the time I bought this, I got the file from the community but it did not get the Wi-Fi working. This machine was given to a family member and now performs the duties you mention and it is an excellent machine for that.
