Yoga 3 pro installing Windows 8.1 Pro
Hi Everybody,
Currently we are looking for some alternative for heavy H... Elite solutions for our mobile workers. We were interested in Yoga 3 PRO until I noticed that it is NOT distributed with Windows 8.1 PRO. The question is whether anybody did install SUCCESFULLY a Windows 8.1 PRO on Yoga 3 PRO? What are the steps to be taken to install WIndows 8.1 PRO? Will I lose any of functionalities because of lack of drivers for Win 8.1 PRO? I'm still surprised that it is not sold with Win 8.1 PRO since on main lenovo.com you can find 'supported OS Up to Win 8.1 PRO'.
Thank you in advance for any answer.
Petek
Hi patton2, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
The Yoga 3 Pro IS supported and distributed with Windows 8.1 PRO. Not on lenovo.com at the moment, but available through resellers in the US. I don't know what the situation in Poland is - I suggest calling Lenovo direct.
The PSREF shows North America model numbers: http://psref.lenovo.com/Product/97.
Do come and tell us how your thinking for use by mobile workers goes!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Yoga11s
Hi,
is it possible to install or upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro on an Yoga 11s?
actually, I´m using the preinstalled Windows and i cannot upgrade to Win8.1Pro, even if i enter an valid LicenseKey...
I´ve seen an BIOS-Entry wich is like WindowsVersion = STD
Any Ideas?
thx
ChakoeIt is possible to install Windows 8.1 Pro, though I went from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro and then updated to 8.1 (still Pro).
Have you tried doing it from Control Panel > System and Security > System, and clicking "Get more features with a new edition of Windows"?
If that doesn't allow it you could do a clean install. -
HP Omni 10 5600eg: Install Windows 8.1 Pro x86
Hi,
is it possible to install Windows 8.1 Professional (32 bit) on the Omni 10 without problems?
Are there any how-tos available?
Regards
AndreasHi @AndreasN , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are looking for an instructional to install Windows 8.1 Pro x 32 on your Omni tablet.
If you are saying that you want to install a retail copy of Windows on it, I do not have an instructional for you and I have never done it on an Omni tablet. I cannot guarantee you wouldn't have any problems, but I can give you a few things you will need. Here are the drivers you will need:
HP Omni 10 5600eg Tablet Drivers
If you have Windows 8.1 DVD's you would need a computer to make an installation USB drive to get it on your tablet:
Create installation media for Windows 8.1. There are many other instructionals out there as well, if you need more info.
If I am wrong, and you just mean to do a factory reset, these instructions cover that: Recovering Software on Your HP Tablet (Windows 8)
I hope this helps.

Can you install Windows 8.1 Pro using Parallels on a new MacBook Pro without retina display?
I am starting a graduate school program and I would like to purchase a MacBook Pro. The options for the non-retina display fit my needs best, but it sounds like the resolution requirements for Windows 8.1 Pro do not match the MacBook Pro without retina. I need Windows to run a statistics program (SAS) and ArcGIS for mapping. Any thoughts or experience installing Windows 8.1 Pro on MBP without retina?
The native res on my 13-inch non-Retina is 1280x800. You might check with Parallels support or their forums to see if this is a problem.
If you go with the non-Retina 13-inch, I'd recommend getting 8GB RAM (standard is 4GB) because Win emulators need a fair bit of memory. -

Install Windows 8.1 Pro on Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591
Hi forum, I recently bought the Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591 and I noticed that it only comes with the Core Edition of Windows 8.1. As I need some of the features of the Windows 8.1 Pro Edition (joining domains, remote display etc.) I would like to upgrade the System to Windows 8.1 Pro. I still have an unused Pro retail key (no OEM, no Upgrade Pack) here so at the moment I'm downloading the ISO for Windows 8.1 Pro. But prior to installation I would like to make sure that everything works out fine and I don't run intro problems. First of all: is there anything I need to save from the old OS (except from the recovery partition- I already saved that to a USB drive using the recovery program provided by Acer)? Do I have to know my Product Key (using for example a key viewer software) just in case? Do I have to disable secure boot in BIOS? Second: can I just install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website? Drivers should still work, right? Third: if I ever want to switch back to Windows 8.1 Core (the OEM edition) do I just use the USB pen drive created with the acer recovery tool? Will my retail Windows 8.1 Pro Key be usable again if I switch back to the original OS? Sorry for asking that many questions but I just have to make sure that it runs trough right in the first place because I need the Laptop to function. What would be your standard procedure to this kind of "problem"? Thanks in advance and with regards,The_DJ Edit:I might have forgotten to mention that I want to do a clean reinstall without all the bloatware from Acer. That's why I'm using the Windows 8.1 Pro "Vanilla" ISO and if I ever want to switch back to core use the Windows 8.1 Core "Vanilla" ISO. Is that possible or would I have to use the recovery partition saved to my USB drive?
Changing the Operating System may cause driver conflicts. The compatible drivers for Windows 8.1 will not be available in the website for this laptop. Hence, some of the features on the laptop might not work after changing the OS. 1: Since you have already created the USB recovery media from the laptop, you do not have to copy anything else other than this. Make sure you you backup all files before installing the OS, as it will remove all data from the laptop. I see that, you have the unused Pro retail key for the OS, hence, you do not have to have the OEM product key. You need to use the product key for Windows 8.1 Pro to activate it, not the Acer OEM product key. In the BIOS, select BOOT tab. Select BOOT MODE as Legacy Mode instead of UEFI.Disable Secure Boot. Under Boot Priority Order, you need to select 1 as CD/DVD (if you are using disc), or USB FDD or USB HDD (if you are using USB drive) to install Windows 8.1 Pro. Then press the F10 key and select "Yes" to save the changes in BIOS. ->You an install Windows 8.1 Pro using my ISO and installing the drivers from the Acer support website. As said before, there may driver conflicts. -> If you want to switch back to Windows 8.1, you may use the USB reovery drive (which created you have created from the recovery partition). When you do this, the Windows 8.1 Pro and it's product key will be removed from the laptop and the factory shipped OS, drivers, apps (and the OEM product key) will be installed automatically. You do not have to use the Windows 8.1 Pro key with Acer OEM USB reovery media. -> You need to do a clean install using the USB recovery drive to install factory shipped Windows on the laptop.

I cannot install Windows 8.1 PRO: I boot with the authentic Microsoft Windows 8.1 PRO DVD, the operating system installs without asking the activation code and when system reboots I check that Windows version is Windows 8.1.
If I try to update windows 8.1 to the PRO version, the result is the same.If you have Windows 8.1 installed in your system and have purchased to Windows 8.1 Pro Pack and have the pro key you would use the the Add Features.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/feature-packs
The Pro is already in 8.1 but you need the key to activate it.

Installing windows on MacBook Pro
I am looking into installing Windows on my Pro because I need Visual Studio for programming and just need some questions answered.
1. Is there a Mac native alternative to Visual Studio? I am using it for a Visual basic class I am taking and we are creating windows applications.
2. Can I buy an external hard drive to run Windows OS from? I opted for the ~256gb SSD MacBook Pro and am not wanting to waste storage space on Windows OS, especially since I do not foresee using it after this class.
3. If I cannot run Windows from an external hard drive: How easy is Windows installation, as well as how easy is it to remove Windows OS when I am finished using Visual Studio? Are there risks to my MacBook accompanied with Windows installation?1, No
2, No, Microsoft doesn't allow that
3, Read http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1583/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.7.pdf -

Satellite Pro C50-A-1E6: Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro Upgrade
Hello,
My laptop came with Windows 7 Pro pre-installed and also came with the disks to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro, when I reboot the laptop to the optical drive with the Windows 8.1 Pro disk in there doesn't seem to be any options for upgrading Windows rather it is just the generic tools for recovering/backing up the laptop and installing Windows 8.1 Pro isn't mentioned anywhere.
Am I missing something? Do I need to format the laptop in order for it to pick up the Windows 8.1 set-up process?
The laptop seems to be picking up the Windows 8.1 Pro disk as the interface is similar to that of Windows 8 (when choosing region/keyboard) but as I mentioned it just defaults to repairing the existing installation with no options to upgrade.
Cheers,
Paul>Am I missing something? Do I need to format the laptop in order for it to pick up the Windows 8.1 set-up process?
Youve got the WIN 8.1 64BIT PRO DVD disk.
I think this is NOT a upgrade disk but using this installation disk, the system (Win 8.1) will be installed on the HDD and this procedure would get rid of Win 7
So before trying to install Win 8.1 I would recommend you to create the Toshiba Recovery medium as described in user manual. Read it!
After the Recovery medium (Disk or UBS flash stick) has been created, you could boot from the WIN 8.1 64BIT PRO DVD in order to start the installation! -
Upgrad from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center!
Hello,
I did upgrade from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. Now the problem is when I press on any file with the right mouse button is normally open curtain menu, but when I press on any folder, right-click, the system crashes after a few seconds
and back up.
Best regards!Hi,
Go Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer and scroll through the logs for System and Applications to see if anything shows up in red as Error or Warning.
Meanwhile, going to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers
in regedit.exe, backing up the whole ConxtentMenuHandlers folder, and then start deleting all of them one by one and continuously testing the right click. Of course import the Context folder after you find it, test once again by right clicking
to make sure you found the problem, and delete the file that caused the problem.

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Installing Windows OS via PXE SCCM
Hello everyone,
I have 2 Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro here in our company environment, because our CEO really like using touchpads with pens =).
Since the Yoga 2 does not have a LAN connector i have been unable to install windows via our SCCM Server.
I contacted telephone support and basically got told, this is a consumer device and pxe is not prossible. Which seems weird since there are pxe drivers and a management driver pack for the yoga 2 available.
What I tried this far.
Use the One Dock -> Doesnt recognize lancard
Use USB Networdcard Startech USB21000S2 (7500 chipset) -> Not recognised by BIOS
Use pptical boot media -> boots to pxe environment but cant connect to the server and aborts
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4
OS to install: Windows 7 Ent
All standard and pxe drivers are incorporated into the install image.
Does anybody know, if or how it is possible to get this Notebook integrated in my SCCM environment?
Thanks in advanceHi Jerry133, welcome to the forums,
the following thread may be of interest to you; it would appear the USB ethernet dongle for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon works with the Yoga 2 Pro for PXE boot.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-Pro-PXE-boot/m-p/1516628#M20051
The part number for the dongle is 4X90E51405 and should be the first article on the following page;

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
