I "upgraded" to Windows 10 from 7 last week and now have a generic MS driver for the docking station (x200 ultrabase). Not sure if it is related, but now I have lost the "undock" option in the start menu. I don't see an explicit driver for the docking station under the x201 and I can't find software for the x200 base. Anyone found a fix for this issue?

I have a related problem - upgrading a TP X1 to Windows 10, my docking station is no longer able to handle my external monitor.

I realise that lenovo have just released a new version of the driver since the last time i looked:

I just yank the eject lever. I only have a couple of displays, mouse and DVD drive attached though. Seems not too bothered about it. I wouldn't do this with other peripherals though.

I never used the eject button anyway

What are your impressions of Windows 10 on x201? Is everything working (except ultrabase driver)?

I haven't upgraded my x201 to W10. But it works fine now with the X1

Well, I had numerous blue screens just after install. I was able to boot up in safe mode with networking and that, I'm assuming, allowed for win10 to download all the drivers it needed to prevent the crashes.

My battery is draining much quicker, possibly due to the lenovo software not being able to manage the battery as well or at all.

I think I have found the solution for the dock, however. There is an "eject docking station" option in the "safely remove hardware" task app. I only need to eject on Mondays for meetings, so I'll give it a whirl next week.

Regarding Win10, there are some UI quirks that are irritating, but nothing too severe. I'm hard pressed to find a reason for upgrade, honestly. I haven't seen too many changes and none of them are enough to justify the upgrade. However, I don't want to risk rolling back.

Thanks! Very helpful!
