Bit of research showed that you could install a SSD pretty easily in the Yoga book, cloning the 32gb boot drive onto the SSD & you are all set....or so I thought!
I used Macrium Reflect, but got a random ''Error 8 - unable to clone'' when I tried. Despite a few attempts & struggling to find an effective solution I gave up.
I figured I would try a USB stick, install windows 10 onto it & boot off it and install off that - something I failed at beforehand when I was trying to update windows 10 on the 32gb SSD it came with.
Once again, despite two different memory sticks ( a 64gb USB3 and a 32gb USB2) I get an error message saying unable to create boot disc on this machine.
So I am really fed up of technology now & how bloody difficult it seems to be to just do as its told!
Can anyone suggest another route I might try? I have a USB -> Sata/Power (first one failed, second one works...)
