[edit: I forgot to mention, the autoinstall in question sets up the built-in Administrator account; it's intended the end user will use this to create their main account.]

I've also made a stock Win10 Yoga Book .ISO, version 20H2v2. Note that this is the autoinstall version that will wipe all partitions on your Yoga Book. It's about 4.2GB in size, but install.esd is less than 4GB in size, so you can have Rufus format the boot USB/microSD as either FAT32 or NTFS.

Remember, despite Sandman45654's instructions saying to use FAT32, this is not actually necessary (see here for more information). Rufus seems to default to FAT32 if all files are less than 4GB in size, though, probably because NTFS booting requires secure boot to be disabled, and many people balk at that (they shouldn't).

Remember also that booting with this media will delete all partitions on your Yoga Book's built-in storage. Back up all your stuff before beginning. At the least, this means copy your vacation pictures and cat videos onto USB/microSD before starting the process.

I should point out (I mentioned this in the guide as well) that booting an auto-partitioning unattended setup on another device will likewise nuke your drive. Do not boot this on your main desktop machine, or you'll be crying yourself to sleep.

As a final note, user _JK1_ points out (read the past few posts) that connecting a display via HDMI before booting fixes the screen corruption issue. If you would like to try this instead, but would still like to use my pre-made .ISO, then you can use Rufus to burn it as normal, and then simply delete autounattend.xml from the root of the USB/microSD before booting your Yoga Book from it. Doing so will allow you to go through Windows Setup as normal, answering all the tedious questions along the way.

Anyways, with all that out of the way, here is the link for the pre-built .ISO.

On another note, I was thinking of starting a new thread for this. I could get new suggestions for the guide without feeling like I'm hijacking Sandman45654's thread, plus it might be more visible to newcomers searching Google for this sort of thing (XDA members watching this thread will likewise be apprised of the new thread). What do you guys think?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Tobehonest:
I have successfully installed the custom windows on the yoga book, it works like a charm. I've also worked around the screen flicker by connecting an external monitor.

Idk if this is the correct thread to ask but, after all the updates the machine takes, the camera seems rotated 90 degrees in any orientation. Is anyone else struggling with this and if so, is there a way to fix this?

Many thanks
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Tobehonest:
sure, it sounds like a good idea
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] metzebs:
awesome..everything fine now, but only one thing annoying me while install, first time while boot and enter install window its need to press button where inform thats need enter Key / windows serial number, but after that anything looks good, and running well..

Thanks .

im using OTG - usb hub conected with USB Mouse, USB Keyboard and UFD-with WinSetup.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
At first, I read this as 'display', instead of 'screen'.

Anyways, I just tested. The autoinstall version I posted doesn't exhibit this. I boot from it, wait a while, and does its thing, rebooting along the way. Setup runs with a corrupted display, after the first reboot, it is in portrait mode, and when it's all done, it's in landscape. It takes a little under 25 minutes.

Front-facing camera (ie, the one built into the display) has the correct orientation, but it flips left-to-right like a lot of 'selfie' cameras do. The camera in the keyboard works as normal, and does not flip the image.

One thing you might want to try is to test it both with and without the external display. I'm guessing that the Yoga Book is getting confused between the rotation of the built-in display and the external display. Remember that the Yoga Book's 'native' mode is portrait; if you are in regular laptop mode, right-click and select Graphic Options > Rotation, and you will see what I mean. Standard laptop mode isn't 0 degrees rotation, it's 270, whereas the external display is 0. Windows then tries to match the camera to the display, but ends up getting it wrong. If it doesn't resolve when you disconnect the external display, you could try my autoinstall .ISO, and run that using only the built-in display until Windows is fully installed.

It's just a guess on my part, because I haven't actually tried hooking it up to our TV. The only HDMI-capable TV we have (what can I say- we don't watch TV in the old-school way) is in the bedroom, and the cable's too short unless I want to sit perched on the end of the bed.

If you give it a try, please let me know if it works.

[edit: Forgot to finish the last sentence. Oops.]
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Tobehonest:
My bad i didn't add to much context. I only used the external monitor to install windows, after that i disconected it so i can use the laptop as intended.

Now whenever i need to use the camera for school to log in to online classes, my camera is flipped in the native orientation as you described and i'm ending up flipped 90 degrees in class.

(i hope i made some sense, english is not my native language)

Thanks
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
You shouldn't need to use a keyboard and mouse. The autoinstall should 'just work', and the only reason you'll need an OTG adapter is for the flash drive. If you use a microSD, you can just plug the Yoga Book in, boot it up, and leave it for 25 minutes. The autoinstall should work without any intervention (yes, I've tested it, booting from microSD).

Once it's done, you will have access to the touchscreen and Halo Keyboard, and then you can hook up a Bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard, if you like.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
Hmm. If it's not too much trouble, could you run the autoinstall without connecting an external monitor, and see if the problem remains?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Tobehonest:
I'll give it a try later after classes.

I first found the issue with the camera (and later with the microphone not working) after i reinstalled windows witouth the driver injection, so i had to manually search for the drivers which was a pain.

With the help of lenovo library and windws update i had most of the working, but the camera was always flipped and the microphone was not working.

After i installed windows with your help (i can't thank you enough for this) i imediately tested the microphone and camera which were working as intended: i had microphone input and the camera was on the same level as i was. Then the windows updates followed and i'm now stuck 90 degrees in class, the mic has no isses.

So i'm thinking the windows update screwed me over because like i said, just after using your instructions, everything was fine.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Tobehonest:
It works as intended :D

Thank you very much for your help!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] binh71:
I have successfully reinstalled Win10 Home on my 64GB YB1-X91F device using the ISO file. Thanks a lot @lectricpharaoh for the great help and kind contribution. I connected to an external display while installing from my SD card (without the external screen I did not realize the prompt for W10 key so the progress stopped there forever so I had to buy a micro HDMI adapter to connect to the external display).

I've been having a problem even before re-installing the latest Windows though. When the tablet is idle, most of the time it never wakes up and I have to press the power button for almost a minute to reset the tablet. It only seems to wake-up when I disable the wireless network adapter in Device Manager.

I tried to update the driver for the wireless adapter (to the latest one dated back in 2017 as found in Lenovo support page for YB1 X91F) but the issue still persists.

Could anyone please share your experiences and solutions ? Thank you in advance.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] binh71:
@lectricpharaoh thank you so much for your detail response. I really appreciate your time and your kindness to help.

I used the autoinstall ISO file from your post. I think the issue with the key is because my device was on W10 Home Single Language. After installing from that ISO file I could activate W10 using the Troubleshooter in the Activation screen and the digital license in the BIOS did the job.

I still have the Sleep issue with my YB. Maybe the only way to safely use it is to disable Sleep mode per your suggestion. I'm not sure if it's a hardware related issue. After flashing the BIOS to the latest version ( I did it before installing the ISO) the device got stuck and never turned on after flashing was completed so I had to press the power button for a minute to reset it. Does anyone have the same issue ? Btw mine is a YB1-X91F.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] binh71:
@lectricpharaoh thank you in advance for the upcoming new ISO. I will certainly try it.

Btw, I found from a Japanese Lenovo site a way to get my device updated the Intel Graphical driver to the 2020 version by installing Intel's genuine Intel Driver and Support Assistant. I'm not sure if the latest graphical driver makes any difference but I hope this is somewhat helpful.

It work. Thank you very much for your help! @lectricpharaoh

But can you make a vdeo tutorial, I want to try it for windows 7 and linux
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
It's not going to work for Windows 7 or Linux on the Yoga Book, as neither is going to have the driver support necessary for the very specific hardware used in the machine.

I think some people have made some progress towards getting Linux working on the Yoga Book, but last I heard, there were a whole bunch of things that didn't work properly. I wish you luck with that, but it's beyond the scope of this guide, not to mention my expertise. I've had very limited experience with Linux, so I'm not the guy for this.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] c19932:
thanks everyone regarding a fresh windows 10 install. Are there any stripped down windows 10 out there somewhere with imbedded yoga book drivers? The Yoga book is obviously too slow for a normal windows 10 comparing to other devices
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] l.gun:
I would like to thank Sandman45654 because two years ago I was able to revive my YogaBook with Windows 1909 with the help of his instructions.

I also thank lectricpharaoh for the new guidance. And _JK1_ for the note with the external monitor.

I installed 20H2 with no problems, and now, a week later, Windows Update offers me 21H1.

.

The only thing missing from my installation was the Mobile Broad Manager Driver.

Isn't it included in lectricpharaoh's setup files?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Deneviel:
Well, first i would like to thanks all the guys that worked on the guide and provided the files.

I managed to make my YogaBOOK work again but whenever I install the official battery and power management driver:

tablets :: yoga series :: yoga book - Lenovo Support IT

pcsupport.lenovo.com

i end up in a loop boot with a BSOD popping up after few sec from the start up with the error:

Stop Code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

What Failed: intelbatterymanager.sys

I can't even access the safe mode and the only option it's to format using a modded image i created without that driver included.

Any idea why this happen?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] frostwood:
did you mean that we can install windows using latest Win10 ISO and get most driver working (halo keyboard) without installing any additional driver?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] jamespmi:
It actually does most of it... in the next paragraph I mentioned entering the Yogabook manual driver page at Lenovo
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] LightC:

[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Eternalup:
It is indeed a struggle to get a fresh windows on this yogabook. I got just a bit too late to notice this great thread. It would be great if Sandman45654 could reupload the ISO and his great work again.

The link provided by @lectricpharaoh in page 14 still works
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
Sorry, guys, for not being active in the thread lately. Been busy with stuff in real life.

I am assuming you mean the Broadcom chipset drivers; yes, they should be included. My testing shows that both Bluetooth and wifi work after installation.

I'm planning on making a stripped-down version. Unfortunately, I've been busy lately so haven't had as much time as I'd like, plus such a version needs more testing to ensure it works. Another issue is removing components is largely a matter of personal preference; it's hard for me to make a trimmed-down version that is to everyone's satisfaction.

When I get time, I'll post one, but keep in mind the best way to get a trimmed version is to actually buy NTLite, and trim it to your own liking.

At the risk of sounding flippant, the solution here would seem to be not installing it, and seeing if that helps. If you try this, let us know if it works.

Not a clue. Was power management working with the stock installation?

Yup. Not just 'most drivers' either; as far as I know, everything should work (at least as well as the machine did right out of the box). Halo keyboard, touch screen, Bluetooth, wifi, the works.

Here is the relevant post, in case you missed it. Be sure to read the instructions thoroughly before starting.

I believe the drivers in the files I included (from Sandman45654's originals) are as up-to-date as the ones on the Lenovo site. If you use them, you don't need to do the work of either determining the appropriate drivers to integrate into the .ISO with NTLite, or manually installing drivers after installing Windows.

Not yet. I was working on a trimmed-down 20H2 .ISO, and then 21H1 was released, so I started working on that. However, as pointed out earlier in this post, I really haven't had a lot of time to work on it, so hopefully I can get it together soon. Of course, then those bastards at Microsoft will release 21H2.

The files are linked in this post here.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] l.gun:
No, I didn't mean Bluetooth and WiFi, but 4G!

But I was able to find and install the appropriate driver at Lenovo. 'Mobile Broad Manager Driver' is the name.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
Ahh, gotcha. I only have the wifi version, so I can't really test that.

I believe everything else should work, and then yeah, you can just install the cell drivers after Windows is installed as you did.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Eternalup:
Thanks so much, creating my own ISO, I had a lot of drivers still not working. Your ISO works like a charm and all drivers are recognized. Can you please share the admin password? I have removed the autounttend script, but it might be helpfull for the next time to fully utilize your ISO.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] lectricpharaoh:
I believe I set it as 'password', and included a note (in the .PDF instructions) that you'd want to change it. If you remove the autounattend.xml file, then the admin password will be whatever you set it as.

If you still have the autounattend.xml file, you can just look through it to check the password. It's just plain-text XML, so it is human-readable.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion] Eternalup:
Thanks again for the help. Will check for sure the next time I need to do a 'full install' again.

Thanks lectricpharaoh for posting the PDF and other support files. I corrupted my Win10 Pro Yoga Book a few days ago and didn't know how I would recover it. Luckily I found this forum. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My tablet came with Win10Pro so I used your guide to build an ISO using that instead.

Also, when I booted from the original ISO you created I saw a corrupted screen. Before testing with my new ISO I added a step by adding the "Install.WIM Drivers" to BOOT.WIM thinking that would allow me to view and interact with the setup. There are 2 sections in BOOT.WIM and, following advise from another forum on injecting drivers into BOOT.WIM, I added the drivers to both sections.

Anyway, I am now installing from the USB I created. I can see my screen and interact with it using the Yoga Book touch screen, albeit in portrait mode only. I am at the point where it is about to start Win10 Pro for the first time, this time in landscape mode. I am so excited!

I love this device. I also have the Android version.

I am 62 years old and still learning!

Oh, Cortana just started talking to me, time to complete the setup. That was QUICK!

Keyboard, mousepad, touchscreen, audio all working as expected.

Thanks again!
