Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Can't upgrade to Windows 10 - "Something happened" error

I've tried several times and I simply can't upgrade to Windows 10 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The instalation process exists with the absurd "Something happened" error. I tried to set the Locale to en/us, and tried to install the ISO through a USB stick but no luck! Earlier I had setup my yoga 2 pro as a dual boot with both Windows 8.1 and Linux. Although I've never made any change to my OEM drives, since I went dual boot the one key recovery service also doesn't work. I still have all those OEM drives intact. When I go to the BIOS setup, I have two boot sectors, one is the original windows boot, and the other is the new linux boot; but I'm not sure it is related or not.

Hi SteveU,
Many things been tried (read the original post) - hybrid shutdown, intel drivers, uninstalling and installing again Lenovo Energy Managment driver (win 8.1 one), trying to use the Windows10 default driver for Energy management, shutting down with holding the shift (or alt button) can't remember now, many many things and clearly this is a Micorosft issue + Lenovo. Not enough testing down before hand, but everyone is happy at Lenovo as our money is at their bank... and have got expensive bit of kit that we shut-down holding down the button - because is just better than pressing shut-down...
This is the second time I'm let down by Lenovo - was thinking will give them another chance but as you can see moderators viewing or post but none of them has got a solution - isn't that right Amy@Lenovo or Majestic
Clearly Ms and Lenovo will blame each other now.
Fed up with this...
Windows 8.1 is the way to go, don't know why I was hoping that the latest MS updates will sort the issue out - wrong again
At least the Mail app works fine now

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?

Could you please share your test file?

Can i upgrade to windows 8.1 enterprise from 90 day evaluation version

yes you can.
Skip Product Key Input in Windows 8.1 Setup
To achieve our objective, we need to edit the ei.cfg (edition configuration) file present inside the
/sources folder of the ISO image. All we need to do is to provide the version details inside this file so that Windows Setup is not needed to ask for a product key to install the appropriate version relevant to that product key.
If you are going to install Windows 8.1 using a USB drive, transfer the installation files to the USB and then proceed to step 2. On the other hand if you need to create a DVD, open the ISO using a utility such as MagicISO so that the structure is not affected.
Browse to the /sources folder.
Look for the ei.cfg file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++ (preferred). If the file doesn’t already exist, create a new text document and rename it as ei.cfg
Now amend the file depending on the version which is included in your particular copy and the version which you want to install. For Professional edition which will be the best bet for most of the users, paste the following context into the
ei.cfg file. Make sure that anything that already exists in the file should be cleared first.

Save the file and run the Windows 8.1 setup again. The setup will not ask for the Product Key anymore.
This is not a hack or anything illegal. The configuration above is supported by Windows installer and is well documented by Microsoft and can also be used on some other versions of Windows as well.

How do I find out whether my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?

I have been searching the HP web site to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10. I also tried the the hp support assistant and it just directed me to a sales page about windows 10. I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software if it is not compatable. Is there a list of compatable HP computers or an app I can run to check? I have wasted lots of time searching HP support for this information. Microsoft says to go to the manufacturer for this information. Please help.

They are in process of making that webpage to check, you can keep checking, the link on the page below is still broken. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-Phoenix-810-400-Desktop-PC-series/7477706/model/7485498/document/c04758308/

Can I upgrade to windows 8.1 pro from enterprise evaluation?

I recently downloaded the enterprise evaluation, and now the trial is coming to its end. Can I upgrade using a product key, or do I need to do it via disc?

I'm sorry to say, absolutely NOT.
You must install a new OS afresh, there is NO WAY to upgrade the Enterprise Evaluation version to anything in line. The information provided where you downloaded the software says as much.
From this page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh699156.aspx :
Following the evaluation period, you will need to replace the operating system on your test computer and reinstall all your programs and data. It is not possible to upgrade the evaluation to a licensed working version of Windows 8.1 Enterprise. A clean installation
is required.

If I upgrade from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1, will it have any affect on my Client Hyper-V XP Pro VM That I have installed ?
WILANDSOP

The same way that you would on a physical machine - select shutdown, not logoff.
The other option is to do it from the Hyper-V manager. Turn off is like holding the power button on a physical machine - it just powers off. Save puts the vm in a saved state which is quick to restart. Shut Down does a system shutdown of the vm, and
requires a reboot when you start it next time.

Satellite L300 - Can't upgrade to Windows 7

Attempted to upgrade my Satellite L300 laptop (running Office Home and Student 2007) and got as far as the final Driver installation "Realtek High definition Audio Driver 6.0.1.5904" at which point the upgrade froze, so I could not progress to inserting the Windows 7 Home Premium DVD. I managed to reboot after some difficulty and then Restored my system to the pre-upgrade point.
When I now insert the Toshiba Upgrade DVD, I am confronted with the screen relating only to the Realtek driver upgrade.
Any suggestions how to get passed this hurdle. My computer is still functioning on Vista

Hi
Have you already tried to update the sound driver yourself? Please try to download and install the latest Realtek driver from the Realtek Homepage. Install the new driver and reboot the notebook. Now you can try to upgrade again.
Otherwise follow the instructions posted by Akuma.
But I must say sometimes the drivers must be update before you can upgrade to Windows 7 and by the way, maybe this is useful for you:

Satellite A500 - Can't upgrade to Windows 7

I recently got my copy of Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. when I actually bought my laptop it was shipped with Windows Vista home premium 64 bit, all I wanted is to upgrade to Windows 7 which I bought.
So I followed the instructions with the Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant Tool but I get this annoying unfix-able message
This model does not support windows 7.. and it quits when I click OK.. So I'm unable to upgrade because I'm afraid of damaging anything. Slthough its an A500-PSAM3E-014011G3. It can totally support Windows 7 so I don't even have a clue where to start to fix that. The BIOS version is even 1.21
I can't find a solution for this HELP PLEASE

Hello Two Lags yes this is the only error i get .. i am using a windows 7 64 bit Ultimate version, the Toshiba upgrade assistant shows this message after the setting boot priority step : This model does not support windows 7 ..i went over all the steps as toshiba said: I inserted the Win7 DVD and i closed setup , launched the Toshiba Upgrade assistant and after the above mentioned step it stops ... i dont get even to the part where i see the drivers to be updated it closes, if it can help u to solve this i asked someone and they said something about Microsoft HCL - i dont know wat this is - and related to the graphics card , here are my specifications (totally supported by windows 7):
Vista® Home Premium 64-bit Edition
Intel® Centrino® 2 : 2.0 GHz
500 GB HDD
4 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon? HD 4650

Can I upgrade to Windows 8 on my current Windows 7 partition that's using boot camp?

I have an iso image of the OS (enterprise) and I started the installation process and it asked me if I wanted to do an upgrade or an advanced custom install. Has anyone tried this yet?
One time I installed a windows update and it formatted my OS X partition as NTFS and I lost everything, so I'm trying to avoid that, but I'd really like to use Windows 8. Thanks!

I recommend you to wait until Apple launches Windows 8 drivers for Apple Boot Camp. Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 at this moment, but the required drivers will be launched soon. When Apple launches the Windows 8 drivers, just insert the Windows disc in Windows 7 and upgrade your Windows. If you're going to do a clean install, make a backup before upgrading the Windows version

IPad 2 3G, can't upgrade to iOS 5 (1601 error)

I have an iPad 2 32G with iOS 4.3.5, I want to upgrade to iOS 5 and it drops me error 3002 (wich I can "fix" putting the device in DFU mode) and an unfixable one, 1601 wich doesn't let me upgrade (when it's in DFU), any help?
I have the iOS 5 already downloaded.
I don't have any jailbreak or something like that.
Thanks! I hope you can help me!!

Well, when you click on "update" and it goes partway through and then says it can't continue that does look somewhat error-like to me. :-). I did do a synch when I first plugged the iPad into my desktop, but had to upgrade iTunes and reboot before upgrading the iPad OS, so everything should be backed up. I hope! I don't know how to check on whether things like my appointments or files that I have created get saved in a synch. Selecting each of my pictures and emailing them to myself is an option, I guess.
I am new to the apple world and the thought of losing six month's worth of stuff is intimidating. If only I knew which things would get lost, I'd be able to work with it.
Thanks!

Can't upgrade to XI from 9. error always occurs and it tells me to contact software manufacturer for assistance by sassy lassies

How can I eliminate the error that prevents me from upgrading from 9.0 to 11.0 The message always says contact the software manufacturer for assistance but so far, no help. I have an iMac.

That wouldn't be an adobe error.
Can you tell us how you are upgrading and exactly what the error message says? Right off the bat I would say you have malware on your system.

After installing PhotoShop CS5.5 on my new Lenovo Yoga Pro all the icons in the tool bars are suddenly really small - I can hardly see them. Anyone know what to do to make them bigger?

Please help

You can't - Photoshop CS5.5 is much older than the high res display on your laptop.
UI Scaling at 200% was added as a feature in Photoshop CC 2014, and will scale for your new high res display.

P-35 Patuinum XP Pro 32BIT- To Upgrade to Windows 7 64Bit???

Hello and this what I have at present >
MSI P-35 Platinum MoBo/3.3GB DDR memory/Intel Core2 2.4 Q6600 CPU/ Nvidia GeForce PCI-e 8600GT-512MB /500GB Internal WD HDD/500GB Ext, WD HDD/WinXP SP2/ NERO 9/ recently purchased Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard PCI card that doesn't work with XP Pro 32Bit, SP2, that's one of the reasons I'd like to upgrade.
Technology can be expensive. Always changing. I would like to upgrade from XP PRO 32,to Windows 7- 64, granted, I would rather have 8GB memory for my MEM hungry Photoshop CS4, but because of my 32Bit OS, I can not. Is it worth it to upgrade to the 64Bit,then have to upgrade my 8600GT, then buy more Ram (I have 4 sticks @ 1GB each) will have to replace with 8GB.
Can anyone tell me if my optical CD/DVD drive swill be ok, or a non-issue?
Epson NX300 Scanner/Printer all-in-one? Intel Core2 Quad 6600?
MSI P-35 Platinum MoBo? Will all this be a nightmare....OR stick to 32 Bit Windows7? If I build my own, I was thinking of getting the OEM system build version of Pro 7.
Change is scary...and can be very expensive as well. Took me a long tome to change from Windows 98 to XP, Love XP...will I love Windows 7?
I want to do video editing too. I bought the pinnacle Studio MovieBoard and studio12 software, but having issues with the capture..most tell me to upgrade to fix issues. I'm getting sound capture, but no video using composite connections to analog Camcorder.
I use the MSI Liveupdate utility for my MSO MoBo, but if I want to download drivers and save them on a flash drive to install after the clean install of Win7, I can get them all here @ MSI?
Are there any other peeps out there who just might happen to have my same board and is upgrading from WinXP/32 to Windows 7/64, and is there any thing I need to know?
( I went to download the Nvidia Geforce 8600GT driver from MSI, but under the list my model doesn't even come up? 8600GT #512-P2-N756-TR, I thought it better to get it from MSI since they are the Mobo maker as opposed to going to Geforce. Does it matter?

Depending on hardware, you can expect somewhere between 2.5 ~ 3.5 GB of usable RAM. The 32bit OS can address 4GB of address space. Part of this address space is RAM, but also, the onboard components and VGA are in the address space. Today's VGAs often have a large amount of video RAM and that eats into the address space. If you have a VGA with 2GB of ram or a crossfire/SLI configuration, you can expect far less Physical RAM to be available in a 32bit OS.
