Installing Windows 10 Tech Preview on Yoga 13 as dual boot

Hi guys,
I'm new here, but have the Yoga 13 for almost 2 years now.
But that's not the case though
I'm having problems installing the Windows 10 Technical Preview on my machine on a new partition. I have lowered the storage on my Windows8_OS drive with around 40GB. Got everything ready for install and got the Bios to boot from the USB. But when i'm about to choose the partition to install the Tech Preview, the button NEXT won't show. All I get is the message: "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style".
As this is the Lenovo Forums, I though you guys might know what causing the problem here.
Hope you guys know what I want and hopefully you have the answer.
Thanks in advance.
Details about my machine:
Processor: Intel i7
RAM: 8GB
Type system: 64-bits
SDD: 256GB
Solved!

Hi Bro,
I had the same problem, I am using lenovo ideapad yoga 13 with 128GB only. So you have more space.
Anyway, you have to follow the procedure by step by step.
1. Check your system properties about windows x86 or x64 and download the proper iso file in to your local directory.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/preview-download?ocid=tp_site_downloadpage
Mine is a 64 bit version. So I downloaded x64.
2. Download rufus at below link
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
3. Then insert a thumb drive (at least 16GB) then choose GPT partition scheme and locate the disc image file.
4. Once you are done, restart the computer, go to bios (pressing F2), just check USB is set 1st boot device.
Then you will be able to install on your secondary partition.
Now I am posting this reply from W10-tech preview only. Wish you good luck. If still need more details, please feel to ask me. Thanks
Friendly

Error code 0x0000000A installing Windows 10 Tech Preview on VirtualBox

Hello
I am trying to install Windows 10 Technical Preview on VirtualBox but I am receiving a message with the error code

I am tring to install with the archive WindowsTechnicalPreview-x86-EN-US.iso on a VirtualBox Configuration for Windows 8.1. (32 bits)
The parameter for hardware acceleration VT-x/AMD-V is enabled.
I have created before other virtual machines with other operating systems without issues.
All those machines have been created with the last updated release of VirtualBox what is 4.3.16. and that is the same one that I am using this time.
Thanks in advance

Do you have hardware support for virtualization on windows 8.1? Ensure that your VT-x/AMD-V acceleration is enabled also enable this feature in the BIOS setting menu.
Follow the given steps:
Reboot your computer and access the BIOS section> Advanced -> CPU Configuration
Click to enable the "No-Execute Memory Protection" option.
Go to Exit section. Choose Save Changes and Exit
Restart your system.

Crypto failure when upgrading Windows 8.1 Pro install to Windows 10 Tech Preview 10041

Has anybody experienced the following error when trying to upgrade a Windows 8.1 Pro install to Windows 10 Tech Preview 10041
crypto_self_test_failed
The system reboots twice both times with the same error and then reverts back to Windows 8.1 Pro. This occurs during the upgrade process. Windows 10 never installs.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks
Eric Sten

Hi Eric,
It seems to be the upgrade self-test fails.
For testing Windows 10, you may consider take use of Hyper-V and install a VM of Windows 10:

Or try a dual boot:

HDMI Audio doesn't work on Windows 10 Tech Preview

I am using a HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j053cl Notebook PC and often plug it directly into my television for streaming video. However, after updating to windows 10 tech preview the HDMI output for audio no longer appears in playback devices, though video is fine. Upon further inspection I found that the device is not starting via device manager, i.e
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful."
I attempted to reinstall the driver from the support site for windows 8.1, but that had no effect. The driver I installed
IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver 2013-09-30 , Version6.10.6491.0, 43.95M
Located http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5390...
Are there any drivers out yet that can bridge the gap from 8.1 to 10?
Any help would be great,

Windows 10 Tech Preview Will Not Run On Oracle VM - Newest Build 2015

Hello Everyone,
I've been quite pumped to install the new Tech Preview for W10 on my VB.
I DL'ed the new ISO and tried to boot it up but it game me this error:
Failed to open the optical disk file.
Could not get the storage format of the medium (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).
Result Code:
VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)

The version I'm trying to run the machine off on is Windows 8.1 x64 / Other Windows x64.
I gave it 4096MB of RAM, with 256MB of VRAM allocated to it. 3D Acceleration is also enabled. I'm not too sure if this is an Oracle VM problem, or an ISO problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I am trying to install Windows 10 in Virtual Box on my HP Pavilion DV6 running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I set up the Win10 virtual machine following these instructions: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/how-to-install-windows-10-developers-preview-in/e98dd450-02d2-4519-b6a3-6743bedcf777
However, I am receiving the following error: 'VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.' When I click continue, the VM provides the following
message: 'Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button. Error Code: 0x0000000A Parameters: 0xFFD00000 0x000000FF 0x0000000A 0x8192F5E3'
After some further research, I found that I need to enable virtualization and hyperthreading. I downloaded Speccy and determined that my PC is capable of virtualization, and it was already enabled; however, hyperthreading is not supported. I have been hearing
good things about Windows 10, and I should really like to give it a test run. Is the error with Virtual Box or Windows 10 or Windows 10 running in Virtual Box? Is there anything I can do to make it work? Thanks for any help.
Any reason why you would not consider dual boot Win 7 and Win 10 TP ?
I had an Acer Aspire laptop running Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. I dual booted with Win 10 TP. That's starting from build 9841 to 9926. I dual booted twice and I had no problem doing it.

Windows 10 tech preview Help

I installed the new tech preview of windows on 2 different laptops.
1 has an NVidia video card and the other has an ATI card.
I installed 12.1.1.4 on both. on the NVidia machine there is no problem.
On the ATI system it worked until the video driver updated.
Hasn't worked since. Has anyone ever had a similar experience and found a workaround without rolling back the driver???
Can any one help???
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
So the current situation is we are running Windows 10 9841 on the machine which used to run Windows XP, and the install process is very slow?
Have you checked the system requirements before the installation?
Before you install Windows Technical Preview
Could you please have a share with the machine specifications?
Besides, if you are willing to upgrade to the newer version (Build 9879, also Windows 10 9879 ISO is available for download), you might encounter the disk missing error. Build 9879 introduced functionality that used the
PUIS (Power-Up in Standby) function of hard disks. This causes the hard disk to not spin up when power is applied, it instead waits for a separate spin-up command.
Some system firmware does not send this command and thus the hard disks are either not seen in BIOS or appear incorrectly. This has been fixed by update
KB3021937.
For more details, please check this thread:

Install Windows 8 Release Preview on imac

any body install Windows 8 Release Preview on imac?

Q: Do you have the CP installed now?
If yes, then the Setup program will walk you through and download, move Windows to Windows.old (so you need about 40GB free space at least to accomplish, an 80GB partition) and no need to burn ISO (handy to have).
When all is said and done, be sure to clean up disk and remove windows.old and install.esd package and installer package which take up 20GB + 6GB + 2GB.
Not on iMac. I'd say it went smoothly though.

I can't install Windows 10 Technical Preview in Dell Inspiron M5030

Hello everyone.
I have a big problem when installing the Windows 10 Technical Preview, everything goes well until the moment that says "getting devices ready XX%" after this the screen turns black, which I had already happened when installing Windows 8.1 . I have
Windows 8 Pro and gave me problems to install, but with these two versions of Windows I always throws this error. Right now what interests me is to have installed Windows 10 Technical Preview to be developing some applications we have had in mind
a few colleagues and I, but I have not managed to install it. I have to turn the laptop to use it again, and when you start telling me "restoring your previous version of windows" And once again normally on, send me a message saying "We Could
not install Windows 10 Technical Preview" and send me the error code 0xC1900101 - 0x30018.
HELP!
I urgently need to have installed this version of windows.

Hi Domeck98,
This kind of issue is mostly caused by the driver compatibility issue during upgrade.
And it’s hard to find the culprit from installation log. The error code is sent by the setupact.log.
For a better method to test the 9879 build, it is recommended to perform a clean install in your case:
Here is the link to download the 9879 build ISO.

We can burn it to DVD media or use it create bootable USB drive.

Cannot install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on MacBook Air 11" (Late 2010)

Hi, I'm trying to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview on my MacBook Air 11" (Late 2010 model) via Boot Camp assistant. I've hacked the Info.plist of the Boot Camp Assistant to allow it to create a bootable USB installer drive. After successfully creating the USB, the laptop proceeds to reboot itself but it never loads up the Windows installer. However, if I restart it while holding Option, and selecting EFI boot, the installer loads up. However, once it loads, I cannot install Windows 8 Consumer Preview to the Boot Camp partition because of this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. WIndows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
Can anyone guide me through steps that would hopefully resolve this problem? Thank you in advance

@minxinglee
even i am getting same errors I hope you found out solution by now ! plz... can u share it ! i need it urgently

Installing Windows 10 Technical Preview on Probook 4430s

I am interested in installing Windows 10 Technical Preview version on my HP Probook 4430s. Kindly share your experience or advise precautions to look out for.
Thank you

Hi
Firstly you need the ISO file for Windows 10 build 10061 Download link below
http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/windows-10-build-10061-iso-3264-bit-free-download/
Secondly DO NOT overwrite your operating system that you are running now Win 7 - 8 - 8.1 , Purchase a secondary hard drive to test Windows 10 on . Most drivers are covered by Microsoft for Windows 10 so you (may) not have any problems there .
Also be sure to download the correct BIT version for your machine whether it be 32bit or 64bit ( Check your already installed windows version for this information in "System" .

Driver Issues After Installing Windows 8.1 Preview

Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 Pro Preview, which I now regret because my wireless connection no longer works on my Lenovo IdeaPad N580. I check the status of the driver for the Realtek RTL 8192DE wireless LAN, and I get a message that I have the latest driver. However, when I check the status the the Realtek device, the system says it is disabled. I tried to enable it within BIOS as I read somewhere that that is the way to fix the problem, but I cannot find any reference to the wireless LAN device in BIOS. This problem has apparently happened a number of times on a number of brands of computers. Nothing I've read that I've tried works. Does anyone have any ideas?

The only way I can think of is to erase your hdd and fresh install Windows 8 or 7.

"The computer started using Windows installation media." Installing windows 10 technical preview on virtual machine

The computer started using Windows installation media. Remove the installation media and restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. The, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. (Do not
select |custom[advanced]| to perform an upgrade. |custom[advanced]| installs a new copy of Windows and deletes your programs and settings.)
That is the Compatibility report that I'm getting when trying to install onto parallels 10 Version 10.2.0 (28956) on my mid 2009 Macbook 13. This happens just after I click 'Install now' and accept the T&Cs.
I am selecting 'Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files, setting and applications'.
I am upgrading from the Windows Technical Preview Evaluation Copy. Build 9879.
I have updated my EFI and tried a few restarts and am booting from a CD. No luck yet.
Any help would be muchos appreciated.

Hi bitofagiggle,
I am not familiar with mac machines, based on what I know, there should be more settigns that need to be configured before the installation of Windows, I suggest you contact the manufacturer for further help regarding how to make Windows to upgrade smoothly.
The below is some articles for reference:

I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview and after that I cannot run OS Lion. How can I recover options to boot back in OS Lion?

I tried to reboot from CD or USB and the Mac Mini simply bypasses it to Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
How can I avoid to Windows 8 boot and have the options to select OS Lion?
I used Boot Camp as shown in many videos. I did not select any additional OSX drivers for install.
Thanks,
Marcio

Installing windows 8 consumer preview in an existing bootcamp partition

anyone done this?
thanks

To add D/E drive for another OS in existing Bootcamp Windows space if you have sufficient GBs,
a) Press Start button on Windows Desktop and key "computer management" into search box, or
b) Right-click you Desktop "computer" icon selecting Manage. If you don't have Desktop computer icon, it can be added via Desktop right-click->Personalize->Change Desktop Icons.
In resulting Computer Management menu (see my Pic which gets bigger if you click on it) right-click on the C: space provides dropdown allowing you to Shrink the C: space by perhaps 60 GB, probably not less than 40 which will result in addition of D/E partition. Windows will format it Ntfs at this point.
Be sure that you have copy of product key provided you. So now when you have your Windows 8 ISO Dvd/Flash? created, assuming install to D/E you select ISO via Mac's boot option menu. When install is done, you run Bootcamp updates as you did for existing Windows version. In my case, I only did first and last (Boot camp 3.1 and Bootcamp 4.0).
Note: you can change the default Windows OS boot and menu time in (key to start menu question) "Advanced System Settings"->Startup and Recovery Settings Tab. So you can got into W 7 or W 8 as you wish.
After Bcamp updates there will be Windows updates and you should be safe with Windows Defender for security, which has been beefed up. You can get Windows Live including Mail, as you wish. Your Pics, Vids, Music, contacts, Faves can be accessd from the C: drive.
To remove the 8 space, when you no longer want it, right click allows "Delete Volume". When done, you can then "Extend Volume" in Windows 7 area to get it back to what it was.

Accessing USB device in Windows 10 Tech Preview under Hyper-v

I am using Windows 10 Technical Preview in a VM created with Hyper-V on a Windows 8.1 machine, and accessing the VM with Remote Desktop Connection. In RDC, I have set the local resources to include ports and "other PnP devices," but I still
cannot see my USB Microsoft LifeCam. The camera works fine on the host, but in Windows 10 I get a message that says, "To get started, connect a camera."
What setting do I need to change in order to access this device in the VM?
Thanks!
MW

Hi,
Since USB drive could be work properly, VM and RDP settings should be ok. For this problem, it is probably a driver compatibility problem, it would be better to contact LifeCam support to confirm the problem:
