Win 8.1 Upgrade on Yoga 13...My Experience

I have difficulty waiting for the "official" Microsoft release of the 8.1 upgrade on Oct 18 so I decided to use my official Technet 8.1 ISO to do the job now.  The process was even easier than I imagined but I did have to tweak a few things after the upgrade was finished to eliminate a few minor problems.
Run the upgrade from within your current Win 8 installation.  I wanted to keep the current CORE version so I ran Setup.exe from Windows Explorer.
I was expecting to enter the generic Core product key but never had to...Setup provided me with the upgrade options without asking for the key.  I wanted to keep all programs, files and options intact even though I had a pretty generic and simple Win 8 environment.
Upgrade ran without any hiccups.
I was expecting that I would have to change the product key to the Lenovo OEM key to activate but the upgrade picked up the correct key automagically.  When I checked after the first boot, Windows 8.1 was already activated.
I did have to reinstall the audio driver package because the upgrade messed up the Dolby Sound package...I kept getting error message on desktop for missing files when I started Win 8.1
I also had a "SecureBoot isn't configured correctly" watermark in lower right corner of the desktop.  After struggling with how to get booted into the UEFI, I had to reset BIOS to use UEFI and use the SecureBoot feature.  Watermark was still there until I went back into UEFI and used option to reset/refresh the Secure Keys from Lenovo.
Everything else seems to be fine but as I said, my Yoga is really quite generic.  My Yoga was one of the first released and I have had lingering problems with the keyboard/touchpad going unresponsive (even after the tweaks revealed here on this Board) and the Metro screen spasmodically scrolling to the far right upon bootup or in the middle of using the News App.  But my limited use after the upgrade seems to have eliminated (or at least reduced) these problems.
I'm happier now than I have been in over 9 months of disappointment with my Yoga 13.
Good luck with your upgrade!

  • [FIX] Yoga 13 auto-rotat​es to portrait on startup after Win 8.1 upgrade

    This was going to be a question post but I just stumbled across the answer on my own, so here's the solution instead!
    After upgrading the Yoga 13 to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store app, and even after installing all the new drivers, I found that every time I restarted when the lock screen came up it would suddenly rotate 90 degrees left to portrait mode. It would fix itself if I rotated the laptop or hit the hardware button to turn auto-rotate off and on again, but still kinda annoying.
    So here's the fix:
    -Seach for "local services" and open it up
    -Scroll down to "Sensor Monitoring Service"
     and double-click
    -Mine had its startup type set to manual, change this to automatic
    -Restart the computer
    Note:
    My Yoga was running a clean install of Windows 8 when I upgraded to 8.1, so I'm not sure if this applies to a Yoga with the factory install intact (or if it even gets this problem with the factory install, since I don't see any other posts about people having this problem).
    Solved!

    With a factory configuration the serivce is set to Manual, Trigger Start, and this config seems to work well...

  • Win 8.1 Upgrade Disabled Twist Touch Screen Fixed

    After a Win 8.1 Upgrade, I had no touch screen function. Calls to Lenovo led nowhere Same with searching Microsoft boards. I fixed the issue on Sunday 6/1- No help from Lenovo or Microsoft.
    For me it was finding two "Unknown Devices" in the HID section of Device Manager which did not have drivers installed. After researching and determining that Win 8.1 will not allow unsigned device drivers, and also seeing the "Update Driver" option failing because the drivers on the laptop that fit the problem were getting an 'INF unsigned driver error', I went through the steps to allow unsigned drivers... Charm Bar>Settings>Change PC Settings>Update and Recovery>Recovery>Advanced Startup>-Restart> Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Settings> Restart and then Chose #7>Allow Unsigned Device Drivers and Restart again... then Updating the two Unknown Devices with the drivers already on the Twist.... and voila- the errors disappeared and the touchscreen returned to full function.
    I don't know if this happened to many people, but Lenovo had no idea what to do. They wanted me to ship them the laptop and allow them to roll it back to Windows 8. Posting here to distribute it to a larger audience. Maybe someone at Microsoft should call Lenovo too or Lenovo should call Microsoft. The Twist is a great laptop with Win 8.1 when everything works the way it should. 
    Solved!

    Hi Cvj17,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per your query we understood that you are looking driver for Unknown device. In some system after installing all the drivers also the unknown device will show in Lenovo Solution Center, hence confirm it once in device manage is there any Unknown adapter is showing in that.
    Please install Lenovo System Update application and run it to verify the driver automatically.
    Unknown Device issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot get to dual-boot screen after Win 8.1 upgrade

    Hello,
    I have an iMac with Mavericks. Recently installed Win 8 to dual-boot. Instrux then were to hold OPT button during startup to be presented with options for OS with which to boot.
    Since Win 8.1 upgrade there is no way to get to that prompt. MS/Win help topics not useful (unsurprisingly). I have the original install disk but would far prefer to save my current config of Mav. Thoughts for workaround?
    Cheers,
    Michael C

    holding down option key at bootup not giving you the bootmenu have nothing to do with win8.1
    even if one never installed anything in terms bootcamp at all then holding down the option key should give the option between osx and the restore to last clean osx version
    if you don't get the option then I'd say the cause is not windows as the menu is handled by the bootloader which is before windows takes over

  • T400 - lost Win 7 64 upgrade disks

    Hi everyone
    Unfortunately I have lost my Lenovo Win 7 64 upgrade disks (the infamous one delivered by Mentor Media from Singapore). Does anyone have experience of reordering them?
    I've sent an email to them (in answer to their original It's shipping mail) but don't hold high hopes.
    Any tip would be gratefully received.
    Miguel
    Madrid, Spain

    I do not think there is anyway you can get a replacement discs because these are upgrade discs that were send during 2007 window 7 launched. Each set has the window 7 serial number and these are non-replaceable. Neither Mentor or lenovo is liable for item lost.
    However, if you are talking about recovery discs, then maybe lenovo itself may entertain a replacement set. Do note that mentor is just a CDROM maker who at that time was contracted to do the window 7 upgrading process.
    In your situation and if the win7 is installed on a working lenovo, I would suggest you google and download a software like ABR which can scan and extract the serial number and sometimes the activated profile. You can then download the digital official window 7 x64 bit (google it) and burn discs, then write the serial number on it. Note that since the win 7 has been activated, you cannot resell or reinstall the serial on another machine.

  • Win 7 Pro to Win 8 Pro Upgrade Help needed!

    So basically I need somebody to walk me through this like I'm computer illiterate, which I'm generally not, but hesitant to get started without actually understanding the whys and hows.
    I bought a Thinkpad S440 with preinstalled WIndows 8 Pro.
    It has the Win8Pro sticker at the bottom and the five recovery disks.
    Now, the store told me that Lenovo had downgraded it to Windows 7 Pro, so this is what I'm running currently.
    I want to upgrade it first to Windows 8 Pro and then to Windows 8.1 Pro (unless I can do it all at once?) Clean install preferable.
    It does not have an optical drive, so the Recovery disks which state they can be used to upgrade are pretty much useless. I don't have access to an optical drive anyway, so I can't create iso images of them either.
    Also, I don't have a Windows 8 Pro Product key, because apparently it's embedded in the BIOS. 
    I'm at a loss as how to go about this thing. I bought a Windows 8 Pro machine, I want to be able to use Windows 8.1 Pro. I mean, it should be possible, right? The stickers and purchase order all state Win8 Pro as the OS.
    P.S. There's also a 20GB partition on my SSD for Lenovo Repair & Recovery? Is that usable somehow? Why is it there? 
    Advice? Walkthroughs? I'm completely frustrated with the lack of Product Key.
    I've done several upgrades and clean installs on previous computers, but I've never felt limited like this....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi clen3k,
    You might not have to do that, but nowadays USB optical drives are very inexpensive and you should be able to find a drive even where you are located.
    But, back to the original question.  Seeing as how Windows 8 was preloaded and your machine was downgraded to Windows 7, your recovery partition should contain the Windows 8 OS.  I say, "should".
    Have you loaded anything into the Windows 7 OS that you don't want to lose?  Loading Windows 8 might be as simple as booting into Rescue and Recovery and returning the machine to factory settings.  Or, just go into Rescue and Recovery from the desktop and return the machine to factory settings.  Once you are in there you should be able to see what OS Recovery is going to install.  
    Only thing is if you don't like Windows 8, you will have to jump through a few hoops to get Windows 7 installed back onto your machine.
    I would suggest getting yourself an external hard drive if you don't already have one and doing a backup of the current OS before you start so you could return the machine back the way it is now if something messes up. No matter what happens, down the road you will want to do current backups on a regular basis anyway so you need to have something to do those backups on.  
    Regards,
    Dave

  • After Win 8.1 upgrade, Acrobat 9 Pro suddenly won't run

    I have Web Premium CS4, and Acrobat Pro v. 9.5.5.  I bought a new  Window 8.0 computer 90 days ago, installed the suite, activated, and everything ran fine. Yesterday, I upgraded to Win 8.1. Now, when I open Acrobat Pro, I get a pop-up message saying that it was installed as part of a suite, and to open another program in the suite first. When I click OK, Acrobat closes. I have tried opening nearly every other program in the suite (Bridge, Flash, Photoshop 64-bit), they run OK, but Acrobat will still not run, and there are no activation messages.  I checked my Adobe account, and my version of Acrobat Pro 9 is still listed, with serial number.
    I'm very disappointed, as I use Acrobat Pro quite a bit, and currently it will not stay open at all. Other than telephoning Adobe for help (no free support # listed), or using on-line chat (no link available), or e-mailing them (no address listed)...what can I do to "activate" it?
    I've tried opening Acrobat Distiller and get the same message, but when I close it, I see a brief flash of what appears to be an input box with activation stuff.  It only appears for half-a-second, so I cannot do anything with it.

    Bill, thanks for that info. I don't think I would ever expect to get any support from Adobe on these programs, since I stopped buying revisions after CS4. I was surprised that I was even able to successfully install the CS4 Web suite onto Win 8.0, and Win 8.1 probably adds another couple hundred million lines of redundant code from our friends in Bill Gates-Land.
    However, my A-Pro9 problem did resolve unexpectedly!  I tried opening all the suite's programs, one at a time, and then Acrobat, with no luck. Then I realized that the suite had installed both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Photoshop (I use the 64-bit version) onto my new 64-bit computer.  So, when I opened the *32-bit Photoshop* for a minute, closed it, and re-opened Acrobat 9, it went back to working normally.  I'll take it!

  • Satellite P845t-10G does not go to sleep closing lid after Win 8.1 upgrade

    Hi,
    I own a P845t-10g and since I upgraded to Win 8.1 the laptop does not go to sleep (or shut down) when closing the lid.
    However, when opening the lid, it wakes from sleep mode.
    I tried installing latest Toshiba systems settings utility and all updates on the support site.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Did you check the option called: What closing the lid does?
    Click on the 'Power Options' icon in taskbar (or in control panel).
    Then click 'More power options'. Now a new windows will open. On the left side panel click on 'What closing the lid does'.
    Now you will see two possible mode: battery and plugged in. For each mode you can set the action for closing the lid.
    BUT one question: did you upgrade the Win 8.1 following the instruction from Toshiba?
    http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/ Did you install all the Toshiba Windows 8.1 drivers and utilities in the right order!?

  • Windpad 110W Win 8.1 upgrade can no longer boot under AHCI

    I recently upgraded my 110W to Win 8.1, but then discovered that it would not boot after the first reboot.  As found in some forums, changing to IDE mode in BIOS allows it to boot, but performance is somewhat slower.  I have tried chaning the storahci registries and restarting under AHCI (as suggested in numerous forums) but it didn't work.  I think it is possibly related to some driver issue as there were issues when I tried to update to drivers newer than those on the MSI site (I now have the MSI drivers loaded).  Any suggestion as to how that can be solved?
    Also, shutdown and restart seems strange.  The screen would go dark pretty quickly (as usual), but the power light on the side would stay on for about 2 minutes before it would reboot / shutdown.  As suggested by some, I have turned off quick boot, but it is still the case.
    Thanks.

    It's possible that the driver isn't compatible for windows 8.1, so either you can try to find the driver for windows 8.1 or I would suggest to roll back to windows 8.

  • Ready to install fresh win 8.1 on new Yoga Pro 2

    So, I just got my yoga pro 2 Friday. Can't stand the extra stuff and 7 particians. 
    I've got a usb stick with a copy of win 8.1 on it. I can boot to it and get the windows installer started ( I stopped at the partiican table)
    I got the drivers folder from the D: on the yoga backed up.
    Got my win 8.1 pro product key written down.
    Don't think I will need any of the lenovo apps.
    Nothing else I need, right?  I did actually make a system image of the fresh install on another external drive when I got it, so if i did need to go back, I can.
    The windows installer will take care of all partiicans, correct? I'm new to EUFI boot.  I can see that legacy mode is disabled in the bios now.
    Thanks for any help. Looking forward to a clean install.  Wish I could have gotten this from a MIcrosoft store instead so I don't have to deal with it.

  • Win 8.1 Upgrade causes GPT/MBR Mismatch

    I am responsible for 9 Mac minis (late 2012) in a computer training lab. I set them up last summer to dual boot Windows 8 Pro using Boot Camp. Recently, I tried upgrading one of the minis to Windows 8.1. The upgrade downloaded from the Microsoft Store and installed with no issues. Or, so I thought. Everything continued to work as before and I had no problem booting back and forth between the two operating systems. It wasn't until I attempted to make a disk image backup of the computer using Clonezilla that I discovered there was a problem. Clonezilla displayed the error message "This disk contains mismatched GPT and MBR partition" and would not do the backup. Thus began a lengthy journey of discovery about MBR, GPT, gdisk, etc.
    So, here's what happened. The Windows 8.1 upgrade automatically (with no input whatsoever from me) resized the BOOTCAMP partition to be about 350MB smaller than it was previously. I have no idea why it did this and I haven't been able to find any report of this anywhere on the internet. Anyway, in resizing the partition, Win 8.1 of course modified the MBR partition table. However, it did not modify the corresponding partition information in the GPT partition table.
    I was able to fix this using gdisk to delete the GPT BOOTCAMP partion info and recreate it using the correct first and last sector numbers from the MBR partition table. This procedure is described in detail in this forum and other places on the internet. So, I'm good to go. But, I'm posting this here because I haven't seen any report of this issue anywhere else. If you have upgraded a previously installed BOOTCAMP partition to Windows 8.1, I strongly urge you to get gdisk (download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk) and run the verify (v) command to verify whether you have this issue. You can also verify by running
    sudo gpt -r -vv show disk0.
    Mark Ulmer

    Yes. First, download gdisk (URL in the OP) and run the installer package. Then run gdisk from a terminal window and run the v (verify command). If verify indicates no problems, then you're good to go and can just type "q" to quit. However, if it shows something like this, then you have the problem:
    sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    Command (? for help): v
    Warning! Mismatched GPT and MBR partition! MBR partition 4, of type 0x07, has no corresponding GPT partition! You may continue, but this condition might cause data loss in the future!
    Identified 1 problems!
    Next, display the MBR partition table and make note of the start and end sectors for your BOOTCAMP partition. This should be partition 4 unless you've added additional partition(s), which is not officially supported by Boot Camp. It should show something like this:
    Command (? for help): r
    Recovery/transformation command (? for help): o
    Disk size is 1953525168 sectors (931.5 GiB)

    Next, display the GPT partition table information. Compare the start and end sectors for partition 4 to the MBR partition 4 start and end sectors. Most likely the start sectors will match, but the end sectors will be different.

    Next, delete the GPT partition 4. (Note: this does not delete the actual partition from disk. It only deletes gdisk's in-memory representation of the GPT).
    Command (? for help): d
    Partition number (1-4): 4
    Now, create a new partition 4 using the start and end sector values from the MBR partition 4.

    Current type is 'Apple HFS/HFS+'
    Hex code or GUID (L to show codes, Enter = AF00): 0700
    Changed type of partition to 'Microsoft basic data'
    Now, change the name of the new partition 4 to BOOTCAMP:
    Command (? for help): c
    Partition number (1-4): 4
    Enter name: BOOTCAMP
    Run the verify command. It should report no problems. If it still reports a problem, quit (q command) and start over.
    Command (? for help): v
    If everything checks out, write new partition table to disk and exit.
    Command (? for help): w
    Reboot and test your dual boot setup to verify all is working correctly.

    "We can't create a reccovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing.To trouble shoot problems when your PC starts,use your window installation disk or media"
    Can some give me a hint as to how to solve this?Thx.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I contacted Lenovo who sent me out a set of 4 Recovery disks. These disks fixed the problem but it meant wiping out the hard drive and reinstalling very thing from scratch. A new recovery partition is created and the discs reinstalled Win 8 which had to be updated. Then Win 8.1 could be installed. Everything is now working as it should.
