Lenovo Y700-17ISK - Intel Turbo Boost

[alexch]

Recently, I bought the Y700-17ISK by Lenovo with FreeDOS. I deleted FreeDOS, and installed Windows 10 Pro (with legal license of course). Right now, the processor (i5 6300HQ) is running at 2,3Ghz. However, I cant enable intel turbo boost because there is not such service in Windows services (even when I open them with administration rights), and I cant find something in the BIOS. Moreover, Lenovo support prompted me to install Windows 10 home, as this may be the cause, but I see it quite unlikely, and whatsmore I dont have a license for 10 home but for 10 pro..
Not to forget, I have installed the Intel CPU drivers, but still no Intel Turbo boost..

Is there anything else I can do?

Try this go Control panel -- then power options - choose high performance -- then do a stress test CPU if it helps then good to go

When I use HeavyLoad to load CPU to 100%, windows taskamananger says 2,8ghz. Is that logical? Is taskmanager measurments reliable? Whatsmore, according to Intel, this CPU should reach 3,2 ghz or so.

Turbo boost is automatic, there's no Windows service that controls it. 2.8GHz is what your CPU can turbo to on 4 cores when power limitations and temperature allow for it. You'll only see up to 3.2GHz on one core.
