    I'm throwing in the towel after a week of trying to make a good system of Yoga 2 Haswell model with Windows 10. Lenovo simply has not done their homework.

    the good news is, the system will boot and run even with a LOT of errors many of which are hidden from normal users. Bad news is many of the posted "Windows 10 x64" drivers are not.. I'm not sure what they are but certainly not for Windows 10 to run WELL on the laptop.
    There is probably a sequence to installing things that would help but it is not published anywhere that I can find.
    Looking through the performance logs there are a lot of yellows and a few reds calling out the obvious: shutdowns and bootups are awfully tedious [errors in the background]

    Win 8.1 works well assuming everything is installed right and double checked.

    I'm having touchpad issues with my Yoga 2 11 with Win 10. My touchpad will just stop working for like 30 seconds and after it crashes it will come back but gestures don't work. I HAVE to have 2 finger scrolling. The only way to get scrolling back is to reboot. ALSO every time my computer runs windows updates in 10 it doesn't reboot properly. I get the Lenovo logo after the shutdown but no spinning dots at the bottom. It just sits there for HOURS (literally, I have let it sit for hours) and never comes back on. I have to force shut it down. Normal reboots from the start menu works but when updates cause a restart it NEVER restarts correctly. I'm gonna try a fresh install of 10 (I did an upgrade before) and see if it changes. Anyone else having these issues?
