The solution is to download the excellent free utility Rufus, and use it to create the correctly configured USB disk. You’ll get yourself in a bigger mess, and screw up Secure Boot and lower performance. No other combination will work, and your shiny new Lenovo will happily and continuously ignore your USB drive at boot. Even Microsoft’s provided utilities to create a bootable USB to install from scratch failed on Lenovos. With friends like these, hey? It was no surprise then when we went to install Windows 10 on multiple Lenovo systems that, of course, the normal utilities didn’t work. Much of Microsoft’s excellent work with Windows is undone by this consistently ignorant vendor, who is allegedly one of their biggest and best partners. Better yet, make them hold down the FN key, instead of just hitting the F keys at startup. Who would think to make users hit a tiny pinhead button you can barely see to enter the System Settings. Time and time again they prove this with crappy driver support, the unforgivable “Superfish” debacle, a dizzying array of pre-loaded bloatware even on their corporate systems, confusing and slow websites and obscure design decisions.
