that would be the win 10 developers alpha preview

turn MS's "Secure Boot" back on
then it should boot into win

Have you read laptop specifications. Does it say uses UEFI Firmware. Which year it was released?

Can i install win7 in this Lenovo and then install Ubuntu14.04 along side and then upgrade Grub same way i do with win XP and ubuntu,and then update win 7 to Win 10 TP?

i have Win XP and Xubuntu 14.04 on my Dell P4 i used the mode in the partition ''along side"
but when i try to install Ubuntu along side win 10 tP, the Along side option in the auto Partition doesn't show, i have auto partition, erase win 10,KVL, Others which is make partition manually.

If you used the LVM option, it may have overwritten your windows install. I'm seen posts in that regard at the Ubuntu forums but have never used LVM myself.

If you install windows 7 and then install Ubuntu, you may not see the "Alongside" option, not sure why that happens, but you would do best by using the Manual "Something Else" option so you know what is happening and can see and select the partitions or unallocated space to use. If you then upgrade to windows 10, you will need to reinstall Grub.

I don't know if this will help. Try reinstalling grub after you boot up to Ubuntu

Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
then run
Code:
sudo update-grub
If you still can't boot to windows 10.
Code:
 sudo gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
You may need to install gksu
Code:
sudo apt-get install gksu
change the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to a higher amount. Windows 10 is listed as windows recovery on some grub menus.

You also might want to read about Lenovo superfish, just search google. It will tell you how to remove it.
