Reinstall Windows On Lenovo Ideapad 10
If you do not have a Windows 10 setup drive or DVD, you cannot attempt a repair install or in-place upgrade (note: you can copy a downloaded version of Windows 10 onto a drive or DVD should you not have the original). To reinstall Windows 10, you must first be able to boot into the operating system. Jun 19, 2019 Cannot Update Lenovo Ideapad to Windows 1809 or 1903. I would prefer not to reinstall the operating system from scratch and reinstall my apps, etc. Thanks for any help. This thread is locked.

I just bought a IdeaPad 710s (i5-6200u, 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD) and I am quite happy with it.
Lenovo didn't install as much crapware as expected, but I prefer a clean install. Sony manuals.
When I boot my W10 usb, the installer doesn't show the partitions on my SSD - like i'm missing a driver. I'm guessing it has something to do with UEFI. I tried making my bootable USB using both MS Media Creation Tool and RUFUS (GPT). Neither has worked.
Is the problem related to my W10 install media, or does it have something to do with secure boot?

Install Windows On Lenovo Ideapad
I bought a brand new Lenovo Ideapad 100s for my younger cousin finishing middle school and it came faulty out the box.
Issues:
When I first turned it on I got the 'Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.' error.
I tried https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/windows-could-not-complete-the-installation-to/bf09c3c5-298b-459f-aed5-4f431b8398f5 but that did not work.
I clicked the Lenovo button to get to the recovery but it had defaultuser0 and required a password to do anything. I deleted that user and created a new user after using cmd. I was able to click on restore my pc but it would say there was a problem.
I got tired and plugged in my old Windows 8.1 USB and tried to just install Windows 8 on it. Deleted all partions (Like I normally do without any issues) but then got the message you are not allowed to install an operating system here. Because it is locked.
Now I am just getting if I turn on legacy support 'The Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system.'
File: bootBCD
Error code: 0xc0000098
If I leave UEFI on I get to to the boot menu and options are.
Windows Boot Manager
eMMC Disk: SanDisk iNAND 32GB
USB HDD: <---- my usb stick
Click on any of the above basically refreshes the page with nothing happening.
This is driving me nuts. It came preinstalled with Windows 10 Home Edition. I think.
BIOS
It has a preinstalled OS license. xxxxxx win
OA3 KEY ID - xxxxxxxx NOTsure what this is
OA2 - NO
It has 2 options that I have not touched since this is the first lenovo tech I have used.
Reset to Setup Mode
Restore Factory Keys
Boot Made Has UEFI or Legacy Support
I am not sure what to do to fix this. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
