Regarding UEFI vs Legacy mode. If I understand it correctly it happened in UEFI and not Legacy mode. I am not sure but I think my Lenovo Yoga 2 doesn't have Legacy "old school" BIOS and it only has UEFI. It has "BIOS backport" feature but I don't know if that's what you mean. In either case BIOS b

@tobia; contact Lenovo support. If USB does not show up, it's not an Ubuntu issue. Your USB system may be failing, or the USB key is not recognized (which would make it not show up as a boot option).
