These instructions are to make a gpt uefi bootable usb disk. It worked.
I used rufus:
Device: select your USB flash drive Partition scheme and target system type: select GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer File system: select FAT32 Cluster size: select Default Format Options: Quick format: checked Create a bootable disk using: select ISO Image then click on icon and select your ISO file. Create extended label and icon files: checked took over 50 min to make it.
- This worked. it boots and allows me to install windows.
- I had to let lenovo startup routine happen.
- It wants to repair the computer.
- Then select advanced options.
- Boot from efi usb device.
- Install windows.
Problem
I discovered that the computer will not shut down properly. the screen goes black the keyboard light is on, and the fans are running. it just sits there like that.
I installed most of the drivers on the lenovo site. Still won't shutdown.
updated bluetooth driver from device manager. 2015-07-06 7am.
unchecked a bunch of items in device manager like bluetooth intel properties / power management / allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
mouse/ allow this device to wake the computer.

turned on windows update, later set to automatic updates.
got message about power management conflict with windows. see screen shots. no idea to to deal with it.

I think it still didn't shutdown after all this.
