WINDOWS 10 : ON Thinkpad Tablet 2

Hi all, Rather than end up with a bunch of random stickies and posts, I propose we put all our Windows 10 experiences here. Starting off, I installed Windows 10 from ISO, and was not told I could not install by the installer. Graphics performance is back to Windows 8 speed (meaning the big speed increase with Windows 8.1 is gone. I'm hoping this is just a matter of reinstalling the old graphics driver from 2014 that fixed a bunch of issues). I installed "offline" and for whatever reason, the system completely de-populated my start screen, and all of my Win 8 app's are now gone, and can't be found. Unclear what happened there. Hoping issue will go away with connection to Windows Store. That's all I've got for now...

Hi,
My installation process for Windows 10 (over Windows 8.1) was :
a. created a System Image Backup in Windows 8.1
b. Downloaded the ISO for Windows 10
c. Mounted the ISO
d. Did an "upgrade" while offline, and without updates available
e. After install was complete, and frustrated by Win 10 ISO installing a 'basic' video driver (without any accelleration), I sought options.
f. On support.lenovo.com, downloaded "Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8.1
g. Installed the Platform Driver completely, and disregarded the messages that said newer versions of some of the drivers already exist on the system
h. Since install, GPU is accellerated.
Currently, only genuinely major problems are:
a. speed in Windows 10 feels much more like Windows 8 than 8.1. I'm unclear as to why.
b. Boot to desktop speed is much slower in Win 10 than Win 8.1. The Action Center takes a minute or so to populate. as does the Start screen.
c. If I run at 100% scaling (which I find painfully small on the TPT2), then Cortana's buttons fail to appear properly. Same is true in some other of the Universal Apps. If I run at 125% scaling, everything works fine (albeit slower than in Win 8.1).
BIOS is 2.16, by the way, and I have not pursued performance in my art apps. Also, I'm not particularly loving the new version of OneNote (having finally acclimated to the frustrating radial menu of the prior app).
I hope this helps your install attempts.

  • Thinkpad Tablet 2 issues with installing Windows 8.1 Pro

    I have a Thinkpad Tablet 2 and haveput the 32 bit version of Windows 8.1 Pro onto a USB drive. In BIOS, my tablet identifies the drive correctly and I have successfully put given it the highest boot priority. When I start up with the USB drive in, the install for Windows 8.1 shows up. However, at this install I am unable to interact with what is displayed on the screen at all. I have tried using the physical buttons on the tablet, tapping the screen, and even a bluetooth keyboard (which I get the feeling won't work without drivers). Do I maybe have the wrong kind of install? I used the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and also followed some instructions I saw on this forum that involved use of the command prompt to create a partition on the USB Drive (I can't seem to find them again).
    I'm sorry if this question has been addressed before; I am new to this forum and my attempts to search for this problem have yielded no results.

    You'll need a USB keyboard to navigate the BIOS. See

  • ThinkPad Tablet 2 Windows 8.1 reinstall no leveno usb key?

    ThinkPad Tablet 2
    So I have a tablet 2 64g and my son wipped the drive and left the tablet unbootable. So I called leveno and the key is 45.00 and if they do the reinstall it is 170.00... Money is a issue right now, so we are doing this on our own with hope of this foum and then a how-to-do we will make for others.
    We are as far as a clean windows 8.1 pro install and every time we load the update from the leveno site for tablet 2 the IO drivers listed as Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 and alos tried Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit), 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 and both install and then my screen goes blank like the back light gets shut off? If I shine a light on it I can see that windows is working just no light for the screen. Right now windows does not see BT, WIFI, and a lot of other stuff. We know for a fact this is a software issue with leveno and windows8 but with out a warrenty we are lost and calling them is non-productive with out a warrenty. Any idea's would be loved....
    1. Fresh install of windows 8.1 pro (working)
    2. No touch screen, no WIFI, no BT and a lot other ????? in device mgr
    3. 1st updat was IO driver from leveno web site here and they both FAIL   http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-tablet-2 
    This is as far as we have gotten so far

  • Thinkpad Tablet 2 can't run Windows 10

    Don't be fooled by the link to the drivers posted above! The first download link on that page (Description: Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor Z2760 IPC with SCU Driver Installer)will not install the drivers you want, but will instead put a utility called "Driver Toolkit" on your computer that claims to find the necessary drivers and, for a price of at least $30, automate the driver installation process for you. Don't trust that program!  Instead, use the second download link, which has the legitimate driver installation process and does not cost a penny - just the way it's supposed to be. (Just to be sure, make sure the description above the button reads as followsDriver Version: 6.2.9200.28847Release Date: 2013-01-06File Size: 24.86MSupported OS: Windows XP 32bit, Windows Vista 32bit, Windows 7 32bit, Windows 8 32bit  UPDATE! Installing the drivers and a reboot later, the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator compatiblity problem remains. So, the problem has yet to be solved!

    I got same issue. I have clean installed Win10 on my TPT2. I used USB Installation media that was made by MS Win10 media creation tool. And drivers from Lenovo site. TPT2 has only one USB port, thus I used USB HUB Inland Wired 4 Port USB 2.0 HUB UPC Code: 012405088187. It worked fine very much.  The installation was OK, but I got a problem.The problem is that Pop up menu items that is from right clicked on icons that are on task bar disappeared. It was uncomfotable too much.Then I disabled Intel graphic media acceralator 9.14.3.1177 as the device driver at device manager display section.The driver is included in Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit), 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-tablet-2/downloads/DS039909 And then it switched MS basic video driver automatically.It looked like OK. The problem was fixed. However, I found further 2 issues.1. Screen brightness is not changable. It may affect battery life time.2. Movie performace is not good. Another things were looked like OK. Finally, I abandoned Win10 on TPT2 by the video problem, even though I spent 3 days for this issue.

  • Windows 10 planned for Thinkpad Tablet 8 products?

    Can somebody close to Lenovo tell us, if Lenovo is planning to extend drivers and support for Windows 10 to our Thinkpad Tablet 8 products?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Obviously. Microsoft is responsible for delivering us the Win 10 update, and they said they would do it for free within the first year of availability to any and all Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 devices. Hence it would only be appropriate that Lenovo would eventually bring Win 10 support to its existing products as well, in addition to their new lines of products preloaded with Win 10. We still have several months to go, so be patient...

  • Thinkpad Tablet 2 : stylus stops workings after 30 seconds on Windows 8.1 ant Windows 10 TP

    I've read other threads about that on this Forum nut never seen an official Lenovo support answer. So I re-ask the question :
    On the Lenovo thinkpad Tablet 2 with built-in stylus (and also digitizer), this one is unuseable after  Windows 8.1 upragde.
    I tried windows 10 TP with same results.
    I installed Wacom drivers from Lenovo support website.
    Is there a liable solution to get it working ? Or the TPT2 is only made for Windows 8.0 ?

    Windows upgrades have never been nice; I've always recommended a clean install to the newer version. Maybe try that with 8.1?

  • 3/11/15 Windows Update killed bluetooth on Thinkpad Tablet 2

    So I just finished installing Windows updates from March 11 and my Bluetooth on my Thinkpad Tablet 2 is suddenly disabled.  Anyone else having this problem?  
    I can't access Bluetooth settings.  On the devices Control Panel, there is no Bluetooth Device under networking, but a Serial Bus device is displaying an error message.  Disabling/Enabling the device and restarting does not help.  It cannot be uninstalled, and when I try to update the driver it says there are no new drivers available.  
    I manually downloaded the latest BT driver from Lenovo support (it is several months old) and after it completes the re-installation/repair, there is still no BT.  It seems like the driver is simply incompatible with the newly updated Windows OS.  Let me know if you have any other ideas.  Otherwise, Lenovo should be alerted to this problem so they can fix it.
    I rely on my tablet daily for work and it's a major inconvenience when it becomes disabled by a routine update.  The TPT2 is designed for use with the BT Keyboard.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Something's definitely gone wrong. I can enable Bluetooth, and can pair with my Windows Phone, but I can no longer share files from my phoine to the Tablet. That alone is a big pain in the butt.
    I rarely use my bluetooth keyboard. It always had the same problem that at some random point, it woudl disconnect from the Tablet, and the only way to get it to reconnect was to cycle the Bluetooth on and off. Easier said than done when the tablet is docked. I gave up after a while, and use either a Logitech wireless keyboard or usb keyboards.
    The March Rollup ironically included a fix that specifcially addressed the keyboard lock out. Apparenttly, if the PC had BT 4.0 (which ours does), and it could see other devices other than just the keyboard, then it would disconnect the keyboard, and cycling power on the keyboard would not fix the problem. The MS patch was designed to fix this specific issue. I don't recall the KB #.
    That said, hopefully Lenovo will see these issues being reported, and update the drivers.

  • Yoga 2 Pro vs Thinkpad Tablet 2

    Hi Lenovos, 
    I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro tablet which I got as a gift and I'm rarely using it coz of the size and Android. I'm Web a Developer so to do some on-the-go coding, I thought to exchange this with a portable windows tablet and I got some offers from Thinkpad Tablet owners. Neither Thinkpad Tablet nor Yoga Tablet 2 pro are selling in my region so I dont have the proper idea about the actual region based price. 
    Is it worth to exchange my Yoga Tablet 2 pro with a 64GB Thinkpad tablet? I know my one has a good display and additional features such as Projector, Subwoofer, stand etc.. but what is the point if I'm not using them. If you were me, would you consider exchange this?
    Regards

    How about the Yoga 2 10 with Windows?  Same size , boasts the same processor and RAM as the Yoga Tablet Pro 2.  It has 32 Gb of internal storage, but you can add a MicroSD card for an additional 64 Gb. 
    The Thinkpad 2 if I'm not mistaken has a 2 year older processor (Z2760) than the Yoga Tablet's Z3745.  The Z3745 processor supports 64 bit OS's and features the SSE 4.1/ SSE4.2 instruction set.

  • HELP! Imaging thinkpad tablet 2 with WDS

    I am on a strict timeline and need to image over 100 tablets (thinkpad tablet 2) and I'm running into issues with my  WDS setup. I've imaged many laptops etc before but this has the UEFI BIOS. I'm using a WDS server on Server 2012.
    I've setup a boot image using Windows 8 32bit.
    -Attempted to use the Lenovo 3.0 USB/Network Dongle. (I've since heard that you can only use the 2.0 ver?)
    -Turned off the secure boot in the BIOS
    -set the USB device as the first boot item
    -turned off F12 in the BIOS and in WDS
    -set my DHCP opt 67 to: boot\x86\wdsmgfw.efi
    When I boot the tablet it won't even see the USB/PXE boot. It boots to the hdd. Is it truly due to the USB 2.0 dongle vs. the 3.0? Anyone? Bueller? HELP!
    Do I need to do anything else on my WDS server?

    Sounds to me like it could be a driver issue. What's the error message that appears on the "frowny face" screen?
    Also, have you checked out this thread? It may have some useful information for you:

  • Thinkpad Tablet 10 verliert Wacom Treiber

    Hallo Lenovo Community,
    Kurz die Daten zu meinem Tablet:
    Thinkpad Tablet 10 / Win8.1 Prof. / 64Bit - Typ: 20C10024GE
    BIOS Version 1.29
    Bei mir gibt es folgendes Problem...
    Jedesmal nachdem Anstecken / Entfernen eines USB-Sticks in/von dem Tablet löscht sich der Wacom Stylus Treiber.
    Gefühlt passiert dies erst nach dem BIOS Update auf die Version 1.28.
    Schaue ich in der Windows "Hardware und Sound" - Kategorie nach "Pen Tablet-Eigenschaften" und wähle diese an
    Erscheint ein Dialog:
    Title: "Fehler!"
    Message: DER TABLETT-TREIBER WURDE NICHT GEFUNDEN.
    Jetzt hilft nur noch die "Neu" Installation des Treibers.
    Die Version des "WinTAB utility for Windows 7/8.1 64 bit" ist 7.1.2-8
    Gibt es eine seitens Lenovo eine neuere Version?
    Lediglich dieser ist in den lenovo downloads zu finden:
    WinTab Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - ThinkPad 10 7.1.3-7 / 3.0.2.1
    Danke für Antworten!

    Eine eigene Antwort zu meiner eigenen Frage vorab:
    Scheinbar ist der genannte Win 32 Bit WinTab-Treiber ebenfalls auf Win 64 Bit installierbar.
    Nach ein paar mal an- und abstecken ging nun der Treiber nicht mehr "verloren".
    Schauen wir mal ob das auch so bleibt...

  • "Purchase couldn't be completed" on Windows RT 8.1 tablet. Error 0x80240017

    I'm trying to get Revel installed on a Nokia Lumia 2520 (Windows RT 8.1 tablet), and it keeps throwing the error message "Your purchase couldn't be completed: Something happened and your purchase can't be completed. Error code 0x80240017."
    The tablet is fully updated as of 11/28. I checked UAC and that's turned on, as well as automatic updates, and I even wiped the device out and reloaded everything. No dice.
    Also checked, and KB2887595 is installed, so it's not that...
    Any ideas?

    Revel is supported on windows 8 tablets and compuers, but is not currently supported on Windows RT.

  • FOR SALE - Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, Docking Station and Keyboard Folio Case

    As my daughter is insisting on a laptop, her Thinkpad Tablet and Accessories will have to go....
    The tablet is the 16GB WiFi Version (1838-5SG). The Docking Station is the standard one (0A33965), as is the Keyboard Folio Case (which is a Western European keyboard type - ASM P/N 0B33512 FRU P/N 03X6354).
    The Tablet has one very tiny scratch on the screen, hardly noticeable, other than that is in perfect condition (the Styuls Pen is only 4 months old). The Docking Station has a slot cut out to enable a mini HDMI Cable to be connected through the facia (to the tablet), and other than that, is in perfect condition. The Folio Keyboard Case is in perfect condition. All cables, etc are included, and the Docking Station power cable has an EU plug (note that if you live in a Country which doesn't have EU Plug sockets, a standard plug can be purchased separately from the adaptor, they normally cost pennies....)
    All boxes, packaging, instructions, etc are included, including the receipts for warranty purposes. The tablet and docking station are less than 1 year old, as verified by the receipts.
    I can send full info, including photos, etc, if needed.
    If anyone is interested, please make me an offer.

    I was thinking i could use this Motorola Wireless Keyboard, it only needs an HID bluetooth connection, the ThinkPad Tab supports HID?
