Actually I did bring a usb stick but there wasn't anyone there who knew the keys to get into the BIOS with and I didn't insist. Since I tend to keep machines for 5-6 years I thought I might spring a few extra $$$ to get something with really good processors and memory etc. But I didn't understand about kernel-driver issues and having never had serious installation problems, I didn't give it much thought. The one I have now has only 8 GB Ram (vs 16 on the Yoga), no SSD drive, and a standard screen from a few years back, non-glare, which is fine, but definitely not the same Apple-like level of clarity. But it runs better than my old HP from the same year and is not nearly so much of a memory hog, don't know why, nor is it running hot at all. So it is $200 well spent. And if it keeps running this well, then I really won't need the extra performance from the much more expensive models and chips.
Anyway, thanks again.
