preinstalled software. This information will help you handle your computer with proper care and keep it

Installing a new operating system
In some situations, you might need to install a new operating system. This topic provides instructions on
how to install a new operating system.
Installing the Windows 7 operating system
Before you start, print these instructions.
Attention:
The process of installing a new operating system deletes all the data on your storage devices,
including the data that were stored in a hidden folder.
To install the Windows 7 operating system, do the following:
1. Copy all the subdirectories and files in the
C:\SWTOOLS
directory to a removable storage device.
• The supplement files for the Windows 7 operating system are in the
C:\SWTOOLS\OSFIXES
directory.
• The device drivers are in the
C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS
directory.
• The preinstalled programs are in the
C:\SWTOOLS\APPS
directory.
2. Start the ThinkPad Setup program. See “Using the ThinkPad Setup program” on page 70.
3. Select
Startup
➙
Boot
to display the
Boot Priority Order
submenu.
4. Select the drive that contains the operating system installation program, for example,
USB HDD
.
Then press Esc.
5. Select
Startup
➙
UEFI/Legacy Boot
. Then do one of the following:
• To install the Windows 7 (32-bit) operating system, select
