If Lenovo or MIcrosoft can provide an update to the driver it may work. This might be ongoing with Microsoft or Lenovo. Why not install the optional windows update KB3035583 so that you will see if your unit will qualify later if the taskbar icon will show up (if you hover over it, it will show "Get Windows 10").

  • Lenovo y50 GPU upgrade

    I have a Lenovo Y50-UHD with NVidia GeForce GTX 860M 4GB Graphics Card. I want to upgrade my current GPU to NVidia GeForce GTX 960M 4GB. Is it possible to do so?

    As far as I am aware, the GPU is soldered onto the motherboard, so removing and replacing it would be impossible. A 960M would have issues playing at 4K anyway though, so if you play at 1080p 2GB VRAM should be plenty anyway .

  • I own photoshop elements 6 and premiere elements 4 (p/n 29180383). Just bought a Lenovo Y50-70 touch, can I purchase an upgrade?

    Can photoshop elements 6 & premiere 4 be upgraded for use on a windows 8 Lenovo Y50-70 touch? The upgrade option on the Adobe site doesn't list my software version? 

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?

  • Drivers issue for Lenovo u400 after upgrading to Windows 8

    I recently upgraded to windows 8 an after that facing driver issue for ATI Radeon graphic card and wifi, and also cypress trackpad  software is not working. All the supported drivers provided by Lenovo for windows 8 are fake and none of them are working. I even tried to search for drivers for graphic card from AMD website but unable to find any suitable drivers.
    And to my surprise when i called lenovo technical support for help, the representative told that no such upgradation is possible for older system, but in Lenovo wesite it is clearly mentioned that upgradion is possible and they are provinding windows 8 drivers for this model which does not works at all :-(
    Kindly some one suggest some workaround for this issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had the same problems with the Cypress driver after upgrading to Windows. Based on I did I downloaded the Windows 8 driver for the Ideapad U300s and it works GREAT. There were no compatibility issues, shows up in Device Manager etc. It also has and icon on the task bar that responds to the F6 key for disabling. Best yet this driver has a Palm Rejection tab. I set it for heavy and no wild pointer movements so I find I now keep the trackpad enabled. NOTE: the file name of the driver I downloaded and installed is: Ogt102w8. Hope this helps you and can't figure out why Lenovo has a driver listed for the U400 that does not work while this driver works great.

  • Windows 8.1 takes 65 seconds to boot on Lenovo y50-70

    Hi , my problem is that this new pc , that i got for 2 days , y50-70 , boots so slowly. It is literally 65 seconds. And i have no idea why..... Cant i enable somewhere some fast boot setting ? please help , this performance is terrible...

    There is only 1 anti virus ( windows defender) . 65 sec from pushing the button to fully starter. It took more than 1 minute for sure , the absolute first start of windows. This lenovo got standard 1T hdd plus 8 gb SSD for windows. I have no external devices connected. I am booting him when he is plugged in.
    Now , i have came across a strange thing. When i uncheck fast boot option in win 8 , and then i try to start windows , the boot time is still the same as when it is checked. I tried this option 6 times. And another thing , i saw on youtube , as people with this particular PC , Lenovo y50-70 do boot time under 14 sec.
    After 3 hours of literally **bleep**ing with this pc , i managed to cut down the boot time to circa 35 sec. Still , thats crazy amout of time. And still , the fast boot option has no effect what so ever on the pc. My pc that is 7 years old , and got win 8 , without ssd ofc , boots in 15 sec. I dont get this.... This laptop cost me 1000 dollars....... why me....

    Hi GaBI13,
    You can switch on - off the wireless by pressing (airplane mode) F7 or Fn-F7. If this doesn't help you check that wireless device is present in Device Manager, is enabled and working properly (no arrows or yellow triangle present on device). If everything OK go to Control Panel-Network and Internet-Network Connections, identify the Wireless Network Connection. If this is Disabled, double click to enable it, right click and choose Connect. The driver for WiFi you can find here in case that you need.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Help Lenovo Y50-70 Win 8.1 clean install

    I'm new to Lenovo, Win 8 and to this forum. I'm considering buying Lenovo Y50-70 Notebook model 59441814 - Intel Core i7 4270HQ, 8GB DDR3L, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA GTX 860M 4GB, 15.6" Touchscreen, 4K UHD, USB 3.0, no DVD drive and Win 8.1 pre-installed. I also have retail MS Win 8.1 Pro "Full Version" 64 bit DVD and key. Would like to upon receipt of latptop to: (1) replace 256GB SSD with a Crucial MX200 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" SSD, and (2) do a complete clean install using my retail 8.1. Reasons are: increased capacity and get rid of all the unnecessary stuff that Lenovo pre-installs. Since I don't have a DVD drive and I have read there are some issues with boot secure, can someone provide recommendation on sequence of steps to follow. and /or how to.
    Solved!

    hi Forest1,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    When you receive the Y50-70, can you try these steps:
    1. Follow this video disassembly guide on how to replace the HDD with an SSD. Alternatively, you can also watch this youtube video on how to replace the drive.
    2. If you're planning to install Windows 8.1 Pro in UEFI mode, follow this guide on how to convert the DVD installer into a USB installer. When finished, boot into the BIOS and set the following settings then hit F10 to save and exit.
        - Link to picture
    Secure Boot = Disabled
    USB Boot = Enabled
    OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS
    When finished, boot from the USB flashdrive that you created (by tapping F12 and selecting the flashdrive on the boot manager) and you should be able to install Windows 8.1 Pro on the SSD.

  • [Solved] Lenovo y50 clickpad gestures

    Greetings all,
    I recently bought a lenovo y50 and went through hell trying to get arch to work on this. Well, after I have everything running nicely, I noticed that the touchpad/clickpad will not respond to multitouch (e.g. no two-finger scroll). I have tried all the drivers on the touchpad and synaptics archwiki pages as well as the settings in both cinnamon and gnome. Nothing seems to change the behavior. Does anyone have any ideas? My hardware shows as Elantech hardware.
    SOLUTION:
    Find comment #137 from HERE and follow the instructions
    This fixed worked for me! Everything works perfect!

    Do any of you have the touchscreen variant? I ordered the touchscreen one and it should arrive in the first week of August.
    I have the touchscreen variant. It works pretty well, but doesn't detect multitouch. When pressing on the screen it registers as a mouse click+mouse movement, which is how windows 8.1 works.
    Well, detecting one touch is better than it not working at all.
    Mine got delayed twice, now it's scheduled to ship on August 15 and arrive on the 22nd (2 days after I start school, which is what I bought it for...) (I ordered on June 29). I'm pretty sure Lenovo will delay it again
    Dang. Well hopefully it doesn't get caught it customs like mine did (assuming you are in USA). Customs held mine for two weeks! it took a month and a half after I placed the order to get it. Good luck! And by the way, I edited the OP with the solution.

  • Lenovo U410 Windows 10 möglich?

    Hallo zusammen, ich wollte euch mal fragen, ob es möglich ist auf dem Lenovo U410 das Upgrade auf Windows 10 durchzuführen? Laut dem Windows 10 Setup-Programm funktioniert es. Aber im Lenovo Dokument zu Windows 10, also diesem hier: https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/documents/ht103611 Steht drin, dass  "mit Windows 10 nicht vollständig kompatibel sind". Darin wird auch das Lenovo U410 erwähnt. Allerdings steht nicht drin was denn nicht Funktioniert.Schön wäre gewesen, wenn man es Testet und feststellt es Funktioniert nicht, das man auch schreibt warum oder wo es zu Einschränkungen kommt. Hat jemand von euch schon das Upgrade gemacht und kann dazu mal Informationen geben?Was nicht funktioniert? Viele Grüße Magg0

    Hallo Magg0,
    unter dem folgenden Link findest du die Liste für Lenovo supported systems (launched prior to July 2015) for Windows 10 Upgrade.

  • Lenovo Y50-70 UHD WLAN grotten schlecht

    Hallo, ich habe bereits das Forum nach Lösungen durchsucht, aber irgendwie komm ich hier auf keinen grünen Zweig. Ich habe den Lenovo Y50-70 UHD, SSHD 1 TB, 16 GB RAM. Wie man im Betreff lesen kann, habe ich Probleme mit dem WLAN Empfang. Standardmäßig ist in dieser Variante die Atheros Wireless kombination mit Bluetooth verbaut. Nach vielem rumlesen habe ich dann herausgefunden, dass da ungefähr jeder damit Probleme hat (ausser die, die 1m neben dem Router sitzen und sich nicht beschweren) und man Abhilfe schaffen kann, wenn man sich das Lenovo zertifizierte Intel AC 7260 o.Ä. stattdessen verbaut. Pustekuchen! Nichts hilft, diese habe ich verbaut und es bringt genauso die aller selbe schlechte Leistung, zudem kostet diese Karte natürlich auch noch.Ich muss vielleicht noch Beschreiben wie ich zu dieser Bewertung komme, dass die WLAN Funktion absolut "grotten schlecht" ist. In meinem Haus befinden sich 4 Laptops, 5 Smartphones (verschiedene Geräte, verschiedene Hersteller). Diese Geräte verwenden eben WLAN und arbeiten einwandfrei mit unserem Speedport LTE 2. Einwandfrei heißt, es sind 2 Stockwerke im Haus, es hat ein Ausmaß von 10 x 10 Meter und jedes dieser genannten Geräte (egal, ob gleichzeitig oder nicht) Funktioniert in jedem Winkel des Hauses (auch wenn z.b. 3 Wände und/oder eine Decke dazwischen sind) - abzüglich eines Laptops, dem neuen Y50-70. Das macht schon schlapp, wenn nur eine Dünne Wand innerhalb 5 Metern zwischen Router und Laptop ist.Schlapp im Sinne von Übertragungsratenmalus von ca 80% und Verbindungsabbrüche im ca. 10 min Takt. Laut Diagnose Tool ist eine Signalstärke von -50dBm an dieser Stelle:5m Entfernung mit ca 20 cm Dicker Ziegelsteinwand, angezeigter Empfang am Laptop, 4 von 5 Empfangsbalken (nicht besser oder schlechter als bei meinen anderen Geräten). Trotzdem Abbrüche und Übertragungsprobleme.Ich sollte noch erwähnen, dass es im Umkreis keine anderen Störenden WLAN Signale von Nachbarn o.Ä. gibt. Nicht nur, dass es Zuhause nicht funktioniert. Den Laptop habe ich gekauft um damit auch an der Hochschule arbeiten zu können, da ist aber schon allein das Problem, dass ich nicht mal Anmeldedaten eingeben kann. Es fragt mich nichtmal danach. Um diese Probleme zu Lösen, habe ich natürlich nicht nur probiert die selbstverständlich richtigen Treiber zu installieren(auch in bestimmten Reihenfolgen - Quelle Internet), sondern ich habe auch das vorinstallierte Windows 8.1 neu installiert, das funktionierte immer nocht nicht. Dann habe ich meine private win 8.1 pro version ebenso erfolgslos installiert und bin mittlerweile bei der neuen Win 10 Version angelangt, die mir immer noch keine Besserung bietet. Zu meiner Frage, da ich immer nur halbfertige Antworten in diesem Forum finde...Gibt es denn irgend eine Lösung, die den WLAN Empfang des Y50-70 verbessern könnte, oder nicht? Möglicherweise könnten Sie mir auch sagen, woran das liegen könnte, dass man scheinbar nur direkt auf einen Router verbinden kann und nicht auf Benutzerverwaltete Netzwerke. Ich danke im voraus und hoffe, Sie nehmen sich hierfür Zeit und können mir eine deutliche Antwort geben.  Mit freundlichen Grüßen  Edit: zur eindeutigen Identifizierung des Modells, die Herstellernummer: 59424196

    Hey, ich habe genau das gleiche Problem und auch in meinem Thread konnte keiner helfen.Dass ich 900€ bezahle und der WLAN-Empfang bei scheinbar vielen Lappis dieser Reihe solche Probleme macht ist ein ganz großer Scherz. Von Lenovo-Seite bekommt man auch keine vernünftige Lösung bzw. Antwort und wird mit Reperaturen vertröstet die ebenfalls nichts bringen.Meiner geht definitiv zurück, das ist in der Preisklasse einfach nicht tragbar! Hoffe du findest noch eine Lösung, Beste Grüße

  • Lenovo Y50 WiGig

    I have a stock Lenovo Y50 touch, 1080p screen, GTX 860m, 8gb RAMI have the stock WiFi card in it now but have been doing some research on intel's new WiGig and wireless docking.These Dell DW1601 WiGig cards are pretty cheap and easy to come by so my question is this:1) Can I switch out the cards and will they fit? They both look like half mini PCI-e2) Are there any WiGig Lenovo drivers yet?3) If not, will it work with the Dell drivers? Thanks for your time 

    Hi Krito007,
    Does this issue persist only in battery mode or both in adapter and battery mode? Also update the graphic driver and check for the issue.
    Click here for the graphic driver for windows 7(32 bit).

  • Lenovo Y50 Microphone Issue

    I started using my Lenovo Y50 about a month ago and have been having an ongoing problem with external microphones/headsets.The issue is that when I plug in a headset, the sound defaults to the headset's speakers, but the default microphone remains the one in my laptop. I have not been using a USB or the S/PDIF plug; just the normal audio jack. So far I have tried three pairs of headphones: A TekNmotion Yapster Blaster headset, a pair of apple earbuds with the mic attached, and finally a Razer Kraken Pro headset. Based on that, I don't think it is the fault of the headsets.Additionally, my brother got the same exact laptop at the same time, and he is experiencing this issue as well.We figured out a temporary fix:Open the sound menu, go to the "Recording" tab. For us, there are three items present: "Line In" for the Razer pro headset, "Microphone," which I assume refers to the laptop's mic, and "Stereo Mix." By setting the default device to "Microphone," then unplugging and plugging the headset back in. It will now work, but only when the "Sound" window is open. As soon as the window closes it stops working. I have tried splitting the speakers and mic, plugging in just the mic by itself, but it will only work with a combined jack. I have limited knowledge of the S/PDIF input, but from my troubleshooting experience I found that it does not work with the split mic or speakers, or combined audio jack. (I have no idea if this is relevant) Here's everything:ProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHzManufacturerIntelSpeed2.6 GHzNumber of Cores8CPU ID Family06Model3CStepping3Revision Video Card 1Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600ManufacturerIntelChipsetIntel(R) HD Graphics 4600Dedicated Memory0 BTotal Memory1.8 GBPixel Shader Version5.0Vertex Shader Version5.0Hardware T & LYesVendor ID Device ID Plug and Play ID Driver Version10.18.14.4029Video Card 2NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860MManufacturerNVIDIAChipsetGeForce GTX 860MDedicated Memory4.1 GBTotal Memory4.0 GBPixel Shader Version5.0Vertex Shader Version5.0Hardware T & LYesVendor ID Device ID Plug and Play ID Driver Version9.18.13.3250Memory16 GBOperating SystemMicrosoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bitService Pack0Size64 BitEditionBasicVersion6.2.9200Locale0409BIOS9ECN37WW(V2.01)VersionLENOVO 9ECN37WW(V2.01)ManufacturerLENOVODate Sound Device 1Realtek High Definition AudioDriver Version6.0.1.7195Sound Device 2NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)Driver Version  Sound Device 3Razer Surround Audio ControllerDriver Version Thanks for any help provided.

  • Lenovo Y50 screen flickering?

    I just received my Y50 (not ultra HD)last week on Friday and it has been running great with one small exception... I have been playing Far Cry 3 and sometimes the screen flickers? It happens very rarely but I'm not sure if this is something I should be worrying about & if it could get worse in the future. The game is on Ultra settings and runs perfect aside from these odd screen flickers.

    Hi Katiealicef,
    Welcome to the Forums
    As per the query we understood that you facing issue with display flickering in your Lenovo Y50 laptop.
    As you have mentioned the display flickers while playing games, does it happens even while working on other applications?
    If yes try to updaqte the graphic driver and check for the issue, also try to move the LCD back n for the nad check for the issue, try to connect the external monitor and check for the issue.
