Drivers for a clean windows install

[dproldan]

You can install a clean copy of windows in your Yoga Book using the ISO from Microsoft and these drivers.

You will need a USB OTG cable and a USB hub to connect a keyboard, a mouse and a USB drive to your Yoga Book.
You will need three USB drives. One for creating a rcovery drive (16GB), one for windows Installation (8GB), and one to hold the drivers.

- Make a recovery pen drive before you modify anything. This will allow you to restore the device to its factory state, in case you need to return it or are not happy with the results of your modifications:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/3a747883-b706-43a5-a286-9e98f886d490/create-a-recovery-drive

Keep this drive safe and use it if you want to restore your Yoga Book to a Factory state.

- Download a copy of windows and make a USB bootable drive:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/software-download/windows10ISO

- Download the drivers and put all the files in a pen Drive. These drivers are from september 2016, posted by UweThelen63 at the Lenovo Forums, looks they deleted the post, here is a copy I made:

To install windows, put in the USB with the ISO, boot the Yoga with VOLUME UP + POWER button, choose boot manager and select USB UEFI.
Follow the windows 10 installation to the end, you'll get a couple of black screens, just wait. The display will be rotated, use the USB mouse to navigate.

When windows is installed, use the Drivers USB, extract everything and start an Administrator command line ("windows key" + "X", "m"). Go to the folder where you extracted the drivers and run "startmodule" for each driver. Start with the Intel Cherry trail drivers.

I haven't installed the LenovoShutDownHelper yet. I don't know what it does.

You'll have to go into the display settings and rotate it to 270º when the Intel graphics drivers are installed.

For me, everything works except the haptic feedback for the keyboard. If you find ahow to make it work, please, let me know.

I don't know how to install the Dolby programs. Any idea?

thats all great but how do we install it if we have the android version of the yoga book?

Need unlocked bootloader.

We need unlocked bootloader, however, I think its not developed yet.
Anyway,when bootloader unlocked, android users can install windows because of dproldan's contribution!
I'm going mad because of android's humble multitasking interface! I really really hope Nougat releases ASAP!

hahaha lol same here! really need nougat so that at the very least i can multitask with 2 apps. Any instructions on how to create our own bootloader? Or does that require root?

Sorry. I don't know... I tried to unlock but, at that time, I recognized there is no custom rom or bios and I can't build that. So I gave up to trying...
I believe some hero will lead us...T^T

First, let me thank you for those drivers... I can't believe Lenovo is removing the drivers from their support site and forums. Mind-boggling.

For me, everything works except the haptic feedback for the keyboard. If you find ahow to make it work, please, let me know.

I'd like to know how to install the Dolby programs as well.

That said, to enable the haptic feedback you have to either fix the startmodule.cmd in the immersion vibrator driver folder or manually install it. The .cmd file doesn't set the paths right for the files it needs to copy.

To manually install it:

copy to %windir%\system32 :

touchsense.dll
touchsensed.exe
(maybe vcruntime140.dll... on my windows 10 it already existed)

then make the folder touchsensed (still in system32, so after it will be %windir%\system32\touchsensed)
copy to this new folder %windir%\system32\touchsensed :

license.param
tuning.param

then open an admin command prompt and do:

sc create TSSvc binpath= %windir%\system32\touchsensed.exe start= auto DisplayName= "TouchSense Service"
sc start TSSvc
sc failure TSSvc reset= 0 actions= restart/1000/restart/1000/restart/1000

After that, reboot... and on next boot you should have haptic feedback.

 

[dproldan]

thank you. I reinstalled everything again and did that. Haptic is working now.
Dolby also installed by itself. Probably has something to do with the order of installation. i did the cherry trail drivers first and then the rest, with a few reboots between them.

How did you get the product key or did you have to get a new one?

 

[dproldan]

In my case, Windows activated itself if I connected to WiFi just after the language selection display. I guess the key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI/Mother board.
I don't have a Microsoft account.

I heard win 10's activation is related to M/B.(Maybe from win 8's tablet edition?)

Just loaded a fresh install of Win 10 and it activated on its own. Thanks for the info.

Has anyone got the Automatic System update to work? On Lenovo's website I click 'Start Scan' -> Install the Lenovo Support Bridge -> Then it starts to scan but never gets past 0%

 

[bisharat]

[AndyVerne]

hello all...
i have a trouble to clean install my windows yoga book (YB1-91F). Basically i have done all the preparation, driver, windows on usb. Even i make sure i've created bootable usb flashdrive. But everytime i go to boot menu there are no UEFI usb option, there are only greyed boot EFI and boot windows option. i have try to load from advance startup option inside the windows, but in the end it only show "the system doesn't have boot to EFI". so it kind of stuck for me. Even if i choose reset my pc, it always says there are trouble reseting my pc, no change were made.
i want to reset my yoga book, because i've been infected by some malware, and i think my internal storage and windows registry is somewhat junked.

 

[urayandro]

Ups, sorry... i've solved the problem. Eventually I use MBR for the bootable flashdisk where it shoud GPT format... now, i'm clean installing my yoga book. Crossing finger, hope all goin well.

you should start command prompt as an administrator.
- click start
- type cmd
- right click cmd, select run as administrator
- continue to each driver folder
- run startmodule.cmd

you should type command completely with the extension... it's should be "startmodule.cmd" inside each folder of the driver

When I installed Windows 10 again, Windows Update did most of the hard work with installing drivers. So as long as you can get an internet connection by installing the wireless drivers (try using the Device Manager > Search for drivers on this PC) you should be good.
