“I am very disappointed. I have just bought this laptop, but when I looked at the size of the hard drive in Windows, the size appears to be 237 GB and it should be 256GB as published. Any ideas? Thanks. p.d. Yes the fan is really annoying. :(”

It is normal for a 256gb drive to appear lower after formatting. See this article for further explanation: https://www.howtogeek.com/123268/windows-hard-drive-wrong-capacity/ As for the fan, you can minimize this by adjusting a few of the background processes. I had to do this myself and it now runs whisper-quiet unless it is under load.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The space used on the 256GB hard drive is for the Windows 10 operating system and other essential executable software. This is standard for all computers with pre-installed operating systems. Here is the latest driver update from Lenovo addressing the fan noise issue: http://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/LAPTOPS-AND-NETBOOKS/YOGA-SERIES/YOGA-710-15IKB/80V5/80V50009US/downloads/DS118587
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All hard drives that you buy never come with the full available space useable. Like a cellphone for example. The S7 galaxy advertises 32 GB internal storage. But when u look at the storage available it says 24 GB free. Why? Because the operating system and stock apps took up that space. Same as your laptop. That's what Windows OS uses.
