Updating Yoga 2 Pro from Win 8.1 to 10 - dialog window problem!

Hi.
I have downloaded the image (https://www.microsoft.com/da-dk/software-download/windows10) and created a bootable USB stick with that image. And when I boot from the USB stick, it starts out fine. BUT when the window with the Install dialog appears, it's så tiny (7cm x 6cm) that it's completely impossible to see the text - let alone hitting the radio-button with the mouse! I cannot change the display in any way during the install, so I have no option than to cancel the installation. I do NOT want to install win 10 from the net, as I did that yesterday on my Lenovo t400s, and that s*cks big time. It installs on the old Win 7 and keeps the old config, and I presume that this is the reason it performing really, really bad. So in other words, I want a clean install on a clean partition.
This is not new to me and this Yoga 2 PRO! As I am writing this - on my desktop PC - and is logged on to the net on the Yoga, "Intel Update Manager" appears on the desktop and the dialog window is 7 cm wide and 6 cm in hight, at the text 1 (ONE!) mm in hight!  And it does not help to change the displays settings to 800x600, the dialog box stays the same size :-(
I have the same problem when installing Office 2007, the dialog box is 7 x 6 cm, but here the text is size 10/11 and there is no scrolling possibilities - so it is not possible to make a custom installation because I have no other way to install, than to hit Enter! And when I come to the dialog where I have to enter the key, do a copy/paste of the key from a text document and hit Enter once again!
So in other words .... HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP :-)
I have tried the search option before starting this message, but cannot find anything :-(
Have a nice day :-)

have you tried WindowsKey + the "plus" key to make the window look bigger (WindowsKey + esc to escape out of the zoomed view) ?

  • Can't update Boot Camp from 3.1 to 3.2 in Windows 7 (32-bit)

    The update starts to install, then I have to restart to finish updating, but when I do just that and fire up Windows 7 Boot Camp still tells me it's version 3.1. THis happens when I update via Apple Software Update. When I download the installer package it tells me the following: "The function you want to use, is on a network source which is not available." But I downloaded the package! Where else would it be? So until now I am not able to use my Magic Mouse in Windows 7. Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks in advance.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • Downgrade to Win 7 Pro from Win 8.1 Pro

    I will be downgrading my T440s to Win 7 64 bit. I was reading the instructions that came with the Win 7 CDs from Lenovo and on page 4 it states on item #6 "select GPT partition style or MBR partition style". From what I understand I would use GPT partition style because the t440s uses a UEFI bios. Is this correct? or do I use the standard mbr.

  • Updating MacBook Pro from 10.7.5?

    Wondering if it is worth the potential loss of currently functioning programs on my computer to do another update.  Last time I updated, I lost the use of several programs which did not support the Apple update.  BUT... I would really like to sync via iCloud.  Problems?  What have you lost?  Thanks in advance.

  • Message From Win Event Viewer - do I have a problem?

    I have just got myself a new PC and it keeps crashing.  Mooching about in Windows Event Viewer (not that I know what I am doing) I noticed this error:

    I have CS4

    I have the same problem and so do at least a few others from the looks of a few similar posts dotted around the forums. It seems to be caused by an error on 64bit Windows trying to address 32bit DLLs, causing a conflict.
    I have found a workaround on one of the Microsoft forums:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/thread/a4c36078-6419-4424- 8a43-ff3832786b59
    however, installing 3rd party software to hack the code of the Form Designer exe is the kind of thing that makes me nervous. And besides, this is something that Adobe should fix in an update...
    For reference: I'm running an Intel Core i7 3GB RAM Vista Ultimate 64Bit OS. Microsoft SQL 2008 is not installed.

  • Yoga 2 Pro Downgrade Win 8 to Win 7 ??

    I'm done with Win 8.1. It's unstable with some of my primary apps (Thunderbird, etc..)
    Is it possible to downgrade my Yoga 2 Pro from Win 8.1 to Win 7?
    I don't see Win 7 drivers listed on the Lenovo download site.
    Guess I'm outta luck?

    Dear Drizzy
    Welcome to Lenovo forums
    Windows 7 has limited support now as it is not 100 % certain you will find all the drivers and also downgrading will lead to the loss of the recovery option in your machine.
    if ypu installed windows 7 you will need a new liscence key and you will not be able to get to the factory settings using the recovery
    Please let us know what problems you are facing with windows 8.1 and we will try to help you with them
    you can read the info about windows 8.1 refresh from the below link if that might help

  • Yoga Pro 3 Touch Pad Not Working With Win10

    This has been hinted around in several other YOGA Pro 3 WIN 10 upgrades but we probably need to start splitting out each particular issue. My upgraded to Win10 with no issues on the upgrade itself. I performed the upgrade with a mouse attached and now I no longer an switch back to using the touch pad. Another way to say it is that my Fn + Delete button no longer works. I checked Synaptics for a driver but they don't list one for Win10. Any one know a work around to get the touch pad working again or a suggestion to fix? Thanks

    I'm in the same boat - no touchpad after upgrade. I am sure we are the first of thousands to experience this issue.

  • 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.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    seems you're already ready.

  • Reinstalling Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro to Win 8 Pro on a metered isp

    I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro SP3 to Win 8 Pro. I used the CD to install the original Acrobat 9, then began the process of applying all the updates that have been issued since. The update from 9.0 to 9.2.0 was 300.1 MB, but my satellite ISP only allows for 250 MB per day. How can I update to the current version 9.5.3 without having to download and install all the intermediate versions?

  • Dismal performance of new Yoga 3 pro (with Win 8.1): will Win 10 improve it?

    Dear all,  As I said in another topic, coming from years of Macbooks, I just bought a new Yoga pro 3 (the version with the latest processor, 8Go am, 512 G SSD) and I find it very slow in daily usage. I usually have Chrome, Outlook open all the time as well as Evernote and when I try to play Hearthstone in the mean time, it gets very slow: the game (which i not very demanding) lags (and not because of internet issues), and if I want to switch to Chrome and browse, it is agonizingly slow. Sometimes, I even have the impression that loading pages is slower than on my Maacbook (tried both at work where the Wifi is quite fast and at home). I have run onekey optimizer, removed some unecessary programs  like MacAfee (truthfully, I have added stuff in the background like Avast, Listary, launchy but nothing big...) I wonder what else I can do to improve the performan. Maybe remove Aero? Also, how can I checck the performance ? I looked at system monitor while the system was slow and it was telling me that the processor was used at something like 80% but nothing more, and memory about 50%. I am wondering wether installing Windows 10 might improve the performance. Any feedback?  Thanks for your help!I have to admit that I am a bit dispirited and I am considering  sending it back (and maybe try a Dell XPS, because I really would like to try Windows 10). I don't have huge computing needs anymore (apart from some excel of Rstudio from times to times, but I haven't even tried that on the Yoga...) but if even those needs cannot be satisfied...

    Specifically Chrome, Windows 10 is a huge improvement. This may be due to the improvements with DPI scaling and GPU optimizations.
    I've done a couple of custom, highly not recommended changes to see if I can get around the thermal limitations of the system, but it looks like it can only be tweaked through a UEFI update. In the end, disabling the thermal system in the BIOS aided the throttling impact.
    The performance sits solely on the Core M chip. Used in other machines (noteably, the Macbook 2015), this architecture has been criticized for sacrificing performance for its low power profile. However, this is also its greatest benefit. I can watch Netflix on my Y3P for at least 5 hours on battery, where other machines would maybe give me 2 hours. When a program uses the hardware acceleration on the HD 5300 built into the CPU, it works great. It's no performance GPU, however, it handles format decoding amazingly. However, if there's an app not optimized for GPUs, the CPU has to render a display with a resolution of 3200x1800, 4 times the size of a 1600x900 display. This is why Chrome is honestly a disaster in Windows 8.1. It's not optimized for Intel GPUs.
    If you want to stick with Windows 8.1, try using IE. You'll lose add-on support, but it runs great. If you move to Windows 10, Microsoft Edge will be getting add-on support in the future.

  • New user of Yoga pro 3 : trackpad gestures and win 10

    Dear all,  I just got my Yoga pro 3 and coming from a Mac, I am a bit lost (I use Win 7 at work). One thing that I miss the most is the track pad, although the Yoga's seems to be quite good. However, I thought there would be 2-3 finger gestures, and apart from 2-fingers scroll, which is fine, I haven't found anything. Do I need to install something? The thing I really need is a 2-finger Right click, as in a Mac (I am so used to it!)...the rest I can live without.
    FInally, I was thinking about upgrading to Win 10: do you recommend it? Is it worth it? Also, how to do it? I thought I would get a "Get Windows 10" icon (my wife does in her 4 years old laptop) but I do not.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks !  Indeed it works but I must press really hard! I was more thinking of something like the 1-finger press but I guess I wil make do with it...
