Y510P with HDD/SSD and Windows 10 installed itself to HDD

We have a Lenovo ideapad Y510P with a 25GB SSD in addition to the HDD (889GB). When we installed Windows 10 it didn't install to the SSD, renamed the SSD "D" and did the install on the HDD. I'm kicking myself for not looking on the lenovo website before installing Windows 10. I'm really hoping that there's a way to fix this. I bought this computer for my husband who gets really frustrated when the computer is slow. He mostly uses it for work stuff and I used to drag him along with me to play WoW. I now see that it's not on Lenovo's list of computers that are supported for Windows 10. I realize that I might have to revert to Windows 8, but is there anything I can do? And how do I revert it if there's no way to fix it?  Thanks in advance...

Please remember that this is a community forum and that Lenovo staff are not necessarily present on it . If you want their direct support you need to actually call customer service. If you don't mind spending $20 to do this, here is an article/software that will migrate your OS without disturbing personal files. You can also just google "move windows from hdd to ssd" for other options. But the gist of pretty much all of them is that you need to tell it to clone only the OS instead of everything, the method just differs.

  • Linux on SSD and Windows XP on HDD

    This is what I am planning to do: Install Linux on SSD and Windows XP on HDD. It is a constant problem that the SSD fills up too fast. And when downloading from the internet it is not always given as an option to install on other drives than C:, for instance Adobe. So I will install Linux on SSD and maybe use some of the 160Gb hardiskspace as a logic partition for Linux. The rest of the harddisk will be C: and have Windows XP on it. The idea is to have a quickstarting Linux-pc with Firefox for internetuse only, and a regular Windows-pc. 
    But before I do this, is it anyone out there who has tried this? Anyone with warnings, cautions or notes? Recommendations? Or is it just not possible?

    why not install xp on the hdd and use lenovo quickstart for fast surfing using firefox? this will save effort and disk space..

  • Installed SSD and Windows 7, now notebook won't boot

    I replaced my Windows 8.1 hard drive with a PNY 240GB SSD and Windows 7 64 bit.  Everything worked great! Installed all drivers, everything worked great!  Rebooted many times, everything worked great!  Shutdown notebook for the night, next morning I turn on notebook and get this error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
    I went through the various repair procedures using Windows 7 repair disk with no change.  I reinstalled Windows 7 with SSD formated as GPT drive, got the same error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
    I reinstalled Windows 7 withs SSD formated as MBR drive, got the same error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
     I removed the SSD from the notebook and placed it in a desktop pc, pc works great, no problems with SSD.  Placed SSD back in notebook, got the same error message:   "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".   I don't know where to go from here.
    Help please.....

    How did you set secure boot and legacy boot in the BIOS? I actually have a very closely related (17t-j029nr) model laptop HP loaned me for my work here and ran a PNY 240 gig SSD in it for a while so it is not a matter of compatibility. Does your laptop have the 32 gig acceleration cache drive in it? Those can be a little complex to configure with an SSD.

  • External hard drive use with both Mac and Windows

    I know that you can't use an iPod (through iTunes) with both Mac and Windows, but can you still use it as an external hard drive with both operating systems?

    Yes, if the iPod is in Windows format. Mac OS X can read and write Windows formatted iPods, but Windows can't access Mac formatted disks unless special software is installed.

  • Problems with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all
    I need help with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7.
    During the installation I'm asked to locate the file AdobePDF.dll on the disk. Selected the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64.
    The installation finishes without any other problem.
    The problem arises when I want to create a pdf from a Word document. I'm using Office 2007. When I select he option to create a pdf from a file, I get message in the attached image.
    If I try to used the Adobe PDF printer from within Word, nothing happes. The small printer icon apprears in the Windows task bar, but that is all. If I double click on the icon, I can see the print job, but that's all. There is no dialog box that asks me to save the file.
    Assistance will be apppreciated.

    Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

    Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards
    Brian

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
    Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
    Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

  • I have an issue with the tabs and windows disappearing....?

    I have a constant problem with Firefox now. I notice that with Firefox 4 and 5 there has been a reoccurring problem with the tabs and windows closing on their own. If I have more than one window open, one of them will suddenly disappear and I wont see the tab at the bottom anymore until I click out of the one I am currently on. It is very annoying and only when I get out of Firefox completely will it sometimes reappear. Even more frightening is the fact that when I move the mouse downward to the bottom of the page the page shuts out as if I clicked out of it.
    I am wondering if this is a security issue meaning some type of malware or virus that is manipulating my browser or is this a common issue that has some unknown cause? I would like to know what the cause is and how it can be fixed because it annoys me all the time. Please help!!

    No Issue with the voltage in general. iPad is being charged via USB.
    1. If you connect it directly to the computer - no problem.
    2. If you want to charge it directly from the power socket you will need this:

  • Using Icloud with Outlook 2007 and windows 7, I cannot get my calendar to list the scheduled appointments as it used to do before I cloud.  The to do bar just shows no upcoming appointments when my calendar is filled with them.  How do I fix this

    Since using ICloud with Office 2007 and Windows 7, the to-do-list will not show any appointments.  If has the notation that no appointments are available?  My calendar is full of appointments.  How do I correct this?

    I don't have a password on my phone. After attaching the phone to the Windows 7 computer, my DCIM folder is always empty. Here's the solution:  While the phone is plugged in to the computer, pick it up and select the Photos application. A dialog box appears and asks if you trust this computer. Obviously, select the "Trust" option. Then the photos will download. If you have a password on your phone, I'm guessing you have to enter it before you open the photo application.

  • Issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8

    any known issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8...version worked fine on windows xp....new computer with windows 8....now cannot seem to operate. Loads, and shows access but will NOT start up. help ! thanx ttp74

    AI 10 is now 10 years or so old and was never tested on nor designed for Win 7 or Win 8. You should simply assume it's not compatible and will never run properly. feel free to spend your time with the compatibility modes and al lsorts of hacking with the security stuff and otehr settings, but to be honest, it will probably be a waste of time.

  • Is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop.  Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

    is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop.  Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

    I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
    This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • No sound with Flash 15 and Windows 8

    No sound with Flashplayer 15 and Windows 8.  I have followed the steps to enable the program and to disable Active X filtering and still no sound.  Sound works on all other applications.
    The Adobe website instructions refer to a way to troubleshoot sound that cannot be followed -- see the inserted text below -- it refers to an application below and there is no application shown on the page.
    Can someone please help?
    How do I test my speakers?
    Click Test Speaker in the application shown below to hear a sample sound. Adjust your speakers or headset so the sound is at a comfortable level.
    How can I display this panel again?
    You may want to display this panel again if, for example, you want Flash Player to use a different microphone. To display the Microphone panel:
    Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is playing. 
    From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Microphone tab. 
    I don't see the Microphone tab, so I can't display this panel.
    If your computer or device doesn't support audio recording using Flash Player, you cannot select a microphone to use, and this panel doesn't appear.

    Hi
    Is the sound card recognized properly in device manager or can you see yellow exclamation marks there?
    I have founded an interesting article on the Toshiba website regarding no sound:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7C021B0001R01.htm
    By the way: You can also mute/unmute the sound if you press FN+Esc. Check this!!!
