Windows 10: Windows 10 Offline File Sync works on Lenovo workstations but not on Lenovo laptops

Have 4 workstation network all Lenovo 2 workstations & 2 laptops all running Windows 10, with a Windows 2012 R2 server. Planning to upgrade later this year but have been struggling with Offline File Sync. One laptop get ~850 errors on Sync, when offline I still can open all non-Microsoft files but cannot open Word or Excel files not greyed out nor any X indication on file. The other Laptop does not have any errors on Sync but have the same end issue. I have no issue if connected in the office or remotely but if there is no connection then cannot open files. Oddly enough have no is

Lenovo Ready to Launch Windows 10 Devices

Lenovo today announced it will begin shipping a wide selection of products loaded with Windows 10 starting July 29. Lenovo has an extensive list of products eligible for this upgrade including popular models like the YOGA 3 Pro and YOGA 500. Lenovo customers can check here for their product's eligibility.

Lenovo has worked with Microsoft Corp. to make the process of upgrading simple, for people with qualified Lenovo PC running Windows 7 SP1 or 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. Starting on July 29, the updates will roll out. If a user has reserved a copy of Windows 10, he/she will be notified once the compatibility process confirms that the user will have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on their system.





Lenovo Apps Enhance Windows 10 Experience
To give users consistent experiences across devices and operating systems, the preloads include a suite of Lenovo-written applications. The new Lenovo Companion 3.0 optimization tool keeps devices running at peak performance and can be used at any time to run a full-scale checkup and report back with specific actions to free up space and speed up the device. As a "smart" device control hub, the new Lenovo Settings lets users easily adapt and modify the way their device behaves. For example, when in tablet mode, the product will customize its display and other settings based on its orientation versus in traditional laptop mode. Alternatively, the device's usage will also alter its settings, for example when watching a movie versus reading an e-book. With SHAREit, customers can quickly transfer files between devices. For tablet users WRITEit takes the pen to a new level of functionality allowing users to write in any input field with their pen and the handwriting is converted to text.

As announced at Tech World in May, Lenovo and Microsoft have worked to integrate Cortana and REACHit, Lenovo's groundbreaking app that allows users who opt-in to search for and manage their content across multiple devices and cloud storage platforms. With REACHit, Cortana becomes even smarter and more personal, enabling users to find their content such as emails, photos and videos in ways they never thought possible. Cortana and REACHit gives users a seamless, intuitive way to search through natural language and contextual understanding.

"With Windows 10, computing gets more personal, productive and connected," said Tom Shell, senior vice president, PC Business Group, Lenovo. "Across our entire PC product line, from the office to the home, we've optimized our Lenovo devices to give customers a great computing experience while giving them enhanced search tools like Cortana with REACHit."

 

mSATA not work with Lenovo X220???

Looks to be a BIOS issue with that series of Lenovo laptops... a quick search in google showed many people having issues with unrecognised mSATA devices on the X220 lenovo lappies.

One person in a thread on the lenovo forumd has two of the same laptops... the one that works with the new mSATA device is using bios revision: 1.12

Your best bet would be to contact Lenovo's technical support and ask them if they have a new bios or a download link for the 1.12 bios file as that looks likely to work.
