Mine also has a slot and I am using 128GB drive as boot drive in it (Amazon.com: MyDigitalSSD SC2 Super Cache 2 42mm SATA III 6G M.2 NGFF M2 SSD Solid State Drive (128GB): Computers & Accessories).

Right off the assembly line
I really don't like OKR. You can try Macrium Reflect.
Thats good to hear! Damn! But are you 100% sure that's the one you used? And your Y510p's model no.? And one more : how much did it cost you? Cz there's more good news if that's true.
This is what i am waiting for MyDigitalSSD Announces World’s First 256GB SATA M.2 2242 SSD - Computex 2014 Update.
Another one from Transcend : Transcend Announces MTS Series of M.2 SSDs — Up To 512GB Capacity

I wouldn't trust Transcend for SSDs. They usually have very poor reliability.
Plextor, Intel, Samsung and Crucial are the best brands for SSDs.

wat ?!!!
i didnot know abt it till today ..
so i have to create a recovery disc now ?
follow this:
Disk Partitioning Stock Y510P Setup - Easy Way - Lenovo Community
guess who wrote it
i've been through all this(posts from ppl all over abt crappin out their OKR)...done that..yada yada
oh n the OKR will work from a cold start too; I've restored my hdd using that after paritioning; so works %
hmm..transcend they went from one of the best to worst..
try toshiba/samsung
--
bsy with offc etc
review's later fellas
Y50 machine temps (avg temps across cpu/board/gpu..) for now:
arma 3 (set to very high/high; 4x FSAA; vsync on(for limiting upto 60fps; helps in reducing gpu load..temps; better to force it from nvidia ctrl panel; I did it from within arma 3 settings))
max: ~74 *C (is a temp spike; common for temp sensor to pick up rise in temps? :s)
avg: ~62-65 (this is the real thing..avg temps
)min: ~45-50 (after 10-20 mins of cold machine start?)
FPS:
avg: ~40 & drops to 30 in cases of huge explosion/building areas
avg: (with radeon pro(for sweetFX)+mods: blastcore, JSRS): ~37'ish & drops to 27 in cases of huge explosion/building areas
btw lenovo did a cool thing on their part to use some good materials on the bottom as well top keybd's side of the y50(even on the y510p) that they help in shielding the inside temps...user won't even know if there's something burning inside
..ofc apart from solid build quality

Samsung M.2 drives are not out yet. Plextor is your best bet yet imo.

Yes, that's exactly what I am using since I bought it from this link from Amazon. It was $99 then, plus shiiping/taxes via Borderlinx.
Model is 59390016 bought from Reliance.
I am waiting for the 256GB too.

plextor is good too but I wonder abt their after sales in India
You'll get awesome After sales if you buy from onlyssd.com
For my Plextor M5M 128 gb, onlyssd guys told me that they'll replace my drive if it is physically undamaged and not working within the 3 years warranty time. I just have to send my drive to them if I ever get over my PE cycles(not gonna happen in 10 years) or if I damage it due to high temps or anything else for that matter.

Damn I already tried the button. So it won't work for me now?

you should've followed the instructions but I guess you followed the topic a bit late..erm?
yours can work..but it's a bit tricky+hard(involves changing partition table values etc etc); oogle it up "restoring OKR LAPTOP_MODEL_HERE"
UPDATE: and I can't say exactly(but most likely..) if you've already used the OKR from a shutdown state the OKR app. saves the partition uid so if that sequence changes somehow(while using disk mangement and/or any 3rd party disk utility) then it's all fkd
ah...well give it a shot try running up the OKR app. from within* windows* and do a backup then after doing the partitions(if you need to do more...well in any case OKR is already done with) then try accessing the OKR from a shutdown state...and if then you're able to see the OKR app. firing up then it's all good

Ah, wish I had read it before. Stupid Lenovo and their third-rate recovery program and the lack of documentation.
This is why I hate Microsoft's decision on not letting the Windows 8 isos be available. We should not be bound to manufacturer's solutions. Oh well, just have to take external backups seriously then.Edit: I did not do recovery though. I just fired up OKR with the recovery button from the off state. Curosity killed the cat. :/ I haven't partitioned the drives yet. Maybe I'll just wing it and depend on my external HDD for data backups.

The bluetooth on my Lenovo Y510p laptop running windows 8.1 does not work. It is unable to detect any device. This happened quite all of a sudden. It was fine a few weeks ago but not working anymore. I tried updating my drivers, but all that accomplished was that bluetooth option vanished completely from PC settings. Did a system restore and then tried removing the drivers and reinstalling drivers from the lenovo site. Still no improvement.
Currently the system status is that bluetooth is not an option that is available under PC settings. Device manager shows "Bluetooth USB" with a'BlueSoleil Generic Bluetooth Driver" installed. I have tried everything that I could find online. Reinstalling drivers, uninstalling bluetooth devices, manually starting "bluetooth support service" through services.msc etc. Nothing seems to work though.
Any thoughts on how to resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated

Well, try the drivers from the Y50 page, maybe they will work.
If that doesn't work, try a clean install or try a new wifi card.
I have a Broadcom BCM94352HMB card with me.
It is Wi-Fi AC Dual Band and bluetooth 4.0
It works with the Y510p whitelist, I recently upgraded to the Y50 and the card doesn't fit (mini pcie vs ngff) if anyone is interested please PM me for the price.
You can also read up on the card here.
