Dear friends!
I finally decided to say goodbye to my drm keys and root my tablet. But the problem is adb comand line was waiting my device for ever. Thus, I started to investigate my problem. Finally. I've understood thet the very wanted driver is not installed when I took a look at "S1Boot fastboot" device. As I've understood the android_winusb provided by sony is not enough to install driver successfully. You should put android_winusb into this thing http://developer.android.com/intl/ru/sdk/win-usb.html as I did. But my windows 10 x64 tells me that it found a driver but encountered a problem. So what should I do? Please, help me out.
PS I don't wonna install giant-full android studio, because it's too huge and takes a lot of time to be installed

It happens because the driver are unsigned. You can install it by disablIng the drivers signature enforcement control momentarily.
In win 10 hit the maj key and click on restart a menu appear click on Troubleshooting -> advanced options -> parameters->restart. Install the driver and reboot.

Thanks for your help guys. I've finally rooted my tablet and I used windows xp on a virtual machine. I'm also sure that flashtool can be used virtually. It's much better than fighting with windows 10. After all, I did a mistake I flash twrp adb as a kernel and my tablet was finding no way of loading except for tarp, and the screen was untouchable. Nevertheless, I had to connect my pc and twrp and use a command which do fastboot reboot, flash adroplus kernel anew and flash twrp properly. Xmodgames and lockpatcher work well. Xposed haven't tested yet by me.
By the way, what is the difference between "twrp adb" only and "tarp not fixed"? What's better?
PS After all, I'm happy with the root, I bought an android device not in order to be without root. Sony album application works as well as it was

Please do ;) It's easy to uninstall if it causes problems, but when it works, it opens up so many possibilities.

Good! I completely agree. Having root access on Android is fantastic.
