Thinkpads Forum

Hi!

I'm thinking of installing Windows 10 on my Helix 2. It doesn't have an operating system and when I take the USB stick I've installed Win10 on other Thinkpads, it doesn't find it. I've been thinking about 32/64-bit issues and then in connection with Uefi, which was new here?
Anyone who can help me understand, please?

I could also consider putting in Windows XP out of nostalgia, but then the touchscreen wouldn't work, right?

Regards!

1. Check the BIOS settings (UEFI mode VS CSM/legacy mode)

2. What software did you use to create the Windows 10 installer disk? If it's Rufus, confirm that it's set to format the USB flash drive to UEFI or BIOS/CSM (depending on the setting in the Helix 2).

Personally, I prefer BIOS/legacy/CSM mode whenever possible.

Thanks for answer! I can't find anywhere to switch between uefi/legacy. That ThinkPad tablet setup is not familiar. I have been trying to find it for days..

Do you have a Helix 2 with 4GB or 8GB RAM?
4GB most likely will not work with W10, maybe try Linux on it instead?
Does it have a working main battery and CMOS battery?
