Hi there,
Lenovo yoga 2 pros have wifi and graphics driver incompatibilities with Windows 10, and Lenovo has not released drivers that fix the issue. I was given a referbished yoga 2 pro with Windows 10 preinstalled, and had the incompatibility issues well documented all over the net. So I decided to do a clean install of windows 8.1 on the laptop. I made the USB with windows media creation tool for windows 8.1 and valid product key. My laptop did not directly give me the option to boot from it, so I used F12, and selected boot from USB. Then my computer crashed. It will turn off and on, but doesn't get to past the splash page. I can use the NOVO button for startup and the menu options pop up, but once I select an option, any option (start normally, boot menu, recovery) it just goes away to a black lit screen indefinitely. I can't do onekey recovery because the computer doesn't register I choose that option. What do I do to salvage this mess?
