Yoga 2 11 Need to reinstall Windows, can't find how

Hi folks.  I bought a Yoga 2 11 for my son at Christmas and of course he managed to download a really nasty bug in a Minecraft map file he loaded when I wasn't around.  I can't get this thing cleaned so I thought I should just reinstall Windows since he hasn't had it long and we don't have much to backup/reload.  I can't find a darn thing in Support for a Yoga 2 11 and didn't see my Windows license code anywhere.  Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?
Thanks,
Samantha

Hello and welcome,
I moved your post from the Windows Tablets board to this forum.  First, let's verify:  you're talking about a Yoga 2 11 laptop, not a tablet?
You should be able to power on using the Novo button and run a OneKey reset to factory state.  The User Guide (Windows 8.1) – Lenovo Yoga 2 11   will help.  Check page 25.

    I opened Firefox accidentally so pressed cancel thinking it wouldn't open Firefox if I did that but it opened it up anyway but didn't restore my last session (which I needed) and now I can't find how to restore it - help!!!

    Just once or twice

    You will find that bookmarking a page (clicking the star next to the address, or going into ''Bookmarks > Bookmark this page'' is precisely what you need to remember pages. It is a very widespread function in web browsers, and it is very ''very'' helpful in many situations, including remembering the location of pages you want to see later, providing easy access to pages you use frequently and other stuff too.
    If you want to know about session restore, there's an helpful support article [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session+Restore here] which I believe also has information on version 3.0. However, I do urge you, once again, to update, because older versions (including 3.0) are no longer maintained and have known security vulnerabilities. Besides, you will not loose any functionality at all (unless you are using add-ons that are no longer usable by newer versions, in which case you need to contact the add-ons' authors for support and ask them to update their software), it's free, and very easy to do.
    If you need any further help at all, whatever it is, tips, troubleshooting, walkthroughs, feel free to ask here.

  • Need to reinstall Windows 7

    I need to reinstall Windows 7 on Satellite C655. The laptop came with 5 discs, 3 of which I don't know what are for.There are three named Toshiba 1, Toshiba 2, Toshiba 3. Then another named Windows Recovery + (then weirdscribbling) Environment, and the other Toshiba apps and drivers. Is the Windows 7 on one of these?  or do I have tobuy that with my own money?

    I don't need to do a complete factory reset, just need to reinstall Windows.
    Can't be done.

  • Need to reinstall windows 8.1, need my product key

    I need to reinstall Windows 8.1
    I don't have my purchase confirmation emal anymore, i tried to redownload windows 8 or 8.1 to create a bootable Flash Drive to install from, but my current product key didn't let me!
    So i figured that i need the Windows 8 product key from which i upgraded to 8.1 and got a new key, to redownload Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1!
    The problem is i have no clue of where to find my genuine Windows 8 key that I have purchased and downloaded from the web..

    Please see:
    Downloads, product keys, and subscription
    Carey Frisch
    That is the problem, i do not have anything there but red text saying "You haven‘t purchased any downloads yet."
    Yet, i can find and see my purchase of Windows 8 with my Bank in the transaction section.
    I have even requested a physical CD/DVD which i have gotten, a blue paper flip-case with 32bit in on side and a 64bit in the other.
    What am i to do now ???

  • Need to reinstall Windows

    I have a computer for a customer, and I need to reinstall Windows. They had a failing hard drive so I put a new hard drive in. They don't have any recovery disks and the recovery partition is corrupted. How do I go about getting Windows reinstalled.

    if he/she has valid warranty, ask lenovo to change the hdd for free. they'll also install operation system, too.
    even if you have recovery disks, the hard disk has the same volume size to use recovery disks via one key recover.
    so, either or you need to contact lenovo support, ship it back.

  • I reinstalled Windows and iTunes. How can I transfer what is on my iPad to my PC?

    I reinstalled Windows and iTunes. How can I transfer what is on my iPad, which is authorized, to my PC?

    The ipad is not a backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.  Certainly you did not reinstall your os without making sure your backup copy was up to date.

  • I am experiacning problems,with yahoo messenger,everytime i try to go into e-mail or go to a site thru yahoo,i get a windows saying windows can't find due to cookis ,not set or something,but will still let me go to the site i wanted,how do i fix it?

    1. You cannot make changes in iTunes: it only reads the feed. You have to make any changes in the feed itself - in your case in Podomatic. When for example you add a new episode you simply add it to the feed. There is no need to do anything else; subscribers will see it almost immediately and the Store will update in 1-2 days.
    2a. I can't adviseon the specifics of Podomatic. The 'itunes:new-feed-url' must be added to the RSS feed, not to the web page which is where it looks as if you are trying to add it. iTunes does not read the web page, only the feed. I have a feeling that Podomatic will not allow you access to the feed to add this tag, but I don't know for sure. If you can't add it you will have to contact Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move the Store to using a different feed.
    You can see a sample feed on my page at
    http://wilmut.uk/pc
    2B. I'm afraid I can't advise on WordPress either. You will need to make sure you have set it to produce an iTunes compliant feed.
    If you want me to check whether a feed is correct you can post the URL here.

  • I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

    i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
    okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
    i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

    can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

  • Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

    Using WindowsXP, and e-mail via Yahoo,browser is Firefox 4.0.I get the following error message when accessing yahoo mail site:"http://us.f831.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?action=welcome&yy=1782408664&.rand=0qrsdp1o...Windows can not find(the above address is inserted here).make sure you typed the name correctly,and try again". After this message is displayed on my desktop it begins to fade,and the inbox of my yahoo mail is then displayed..I am able to work all functions of the mail without problems.( I might add at this point that i access the mail program via a desktop icon).When I close out of the program the error message box with the error described above is displayed again on my desktop.I must click on the "X" to remove it.I can access my yahoo mail via Internet Explorer with no problem,as well as accessing via my yahoo home page.

    Here's an image of the ERROR Message. I'm not sure how this forum works -- if this image is an attachment or if it shows up in the body of this reply.

  • Have a serial number for Acrobat 9 Standard but need a download and can only find download for Pro version.

    I did a factory reset on my old laptop and lost my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I have the serial number but need a download and can only find download for Pro version. When I enter my serial number (standard) into the Pro Installation it says the number is invalid. Any idea where I can download Standard version of 9? Thanks.

    Kimg68365882 did you purchase Acrobat 9 Standard from Adobe directly?  If so and you choose to download the software instead of receive a CD then please see Find a download link on Adobe.com.
    If you originally received the software on CD then please use a computer with an optical drive to copy the contents of the CD to a USB drive.

    There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup
