I'd been having fps droops with my favourite online game and went reading for solutions. I realised it was overriding and using my crappy onboard card not my gaming card. Apparent solution: switch the onboard card off and it will default to the GTX card no problems.
Turns out Lenovo don't like you doing this despite others saying it works on their Ideapads.... Black screen, can't even get to BIOS or safe mode.
Booted up the One key recovery. It says wipe system partition and reset. However no manual backup point so its back to the basic setup. But it seems to suggest its system files only not full drive...
Me thinking that this doesn't touch personal files does this..... Nope it wiped the entire machine, new user the lot.
Luckily I haven't got much that I haven't emailed or sent online in some form. A few things but manageable to deal with.
Note to self: do backup point before playing with settings!
Although one thing: after reinstall the game does see the gaming card and I have decent fps.... now just reinstalling everything and watch the issue doesn't reoccur!
