1) Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 wi-fi driver v 17.13.2.2 dated 11/17/2014 works
2) (updated) driver v 17.13.12.1 dated 12/16/2014 gives 'cannot detect hardware' error message so no wi-fi.
3)Reason?
Ad) Lenovo Ultrabook Yoga ThinkPad win v8.1 (I won't upgrade to win 10 until this is fixed)

NOT for win10 - need for win v8.1 - win10 crashed my pc, seems sucky so sticking with win8 - maybe win10 driver not backwards compatible - it all works with rollback so I'm good otherwise
