Chapter 6. Advanced configuration

This chapter provides information to help you further configure the computer:

Installing the Windows 10 operating system

In some situations, you might need to install a new operating system. This topic provides instructions on how
to install a Windows 10 operating system.

Before you start, print these instructions.

Attention:

The process of installing a new operating system deletes all the data on your internal storage

drive, including the data that were stored in a hidden folder.

To install the Windows 10 operating system, do the following:

1. Ensure that you set the security chip to TPM 2.0. For more information, see “Setting the security chip”

2. Connect the drive that contains the operating system installation program to the computer.

3. Start the ThinkPad Setup program. See “Using the ThinkPad Setup program” on page 50.

4. Select

Startup

➙

Boot

to display the

Boot Priority Order

submenu.

5. Select the drive that contains the operating system installation program, for example,

USB HDD

. Then

press Esc.

6. Select

Restart

and ensure that

OS Optimized Defaults

is enabled. Then press F10 to save the settings

and exit the ThinkPad Setup program.

7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the device drivers and necessary programs. See “Installing

device drivers” on page 50.

8. After installing the device drivers, apply Windows Update to get the latest modules, for example the

security patches.

9. Depending on your preference, install Lenovo programs. For information about Lenovo programs, see

“Lenovo programs” on page 10.

Note:

After installing the operating system, do not change the initial

UEFI/Legacy Boot

setting in the

ThinkPad Setup program. Otherwise, the operating system will not start correctly.

When you install the Windows 10 operating system, you might need one of the following country or region
