Yeah, I've read quite a few posts about how backgrading to W7 didn't work well at all. I did a backgrade to W8.1 which went well. But then tried to do another on the Yoga 2 Pro and it just screwed everything up. Fortunately Lenovo's 'recovery partition' doesn't get screwed with by W10 installs so I took it back to 'out of box' and worked up from there. > The lack of transparency in W10 is shameful -- the straw that broke the > camel's back was discovering the p2p update mechanism.
