80 - Lenovo Z50 Windows 7 downgrade possible?

I considered buying a Lenovo Z50-80, but I wanted to know if it was covered by the decommissioning process. I would rather it downgrade to Windows 7, & I know it's only possible with Windows Pro 8.1; but I didn't know whether or not the Windows 8.1 version that comes on this laptop is the Pro version?

Where is the 2nd part of my question? Wouldn't it be prudent to say that this device has at least 8.1 Windows Pro installed, so that he would fall in this agreement "helped downgrade" if they get drivers out there for it? I've never seen a PC labeled as having Windows Pro 8.1, 8.1 Windows only; so, I wasn't sure whether or not all versions of Windows 8.1 are considered to be 'Pro' version.

Three links you provided give their card or product detail 8.1 Win. It does'nt State Win 8.1 PRO. So I would guess like most units sold it is only version 64 bits not PRO Win 8.1. Why not give these sellers call and lay it on customizing the plug particularly operating system to win 8.1PRO?

  • Alienware 17 R3 factory shipped Windows 10 Downgrade Possible?

    Since yesterday, I have the latest Alienware 17 R3. It comes with Windows 10 and I hate it. My RAM is plagued by the latter and so much slower than my old Alienware that were running 8.1

    It is even if it comes with Windows 10 I could make a USB bootable running 8.1 and reinstall?

  • Clean install of windows on a SSD for Lenovo Z50-75

    I bought a Lenovo Z50-75 with AMD processor and AMD graphics card and a 1 TB of HARD drive, but have found him seems extremely slow and have decided to put in a new SSD and install Windows costs. I'm very disappointed with the speed of this thing.

    (1) since then, the machine did not come with any recovery disk, how can I reinstall windows on an empty SSD 10 put in?

    (2) I wish that I don't have to deal with Bloatware and crapware to obtain best results, how can I make sure I don't end up with him again?

    (3) this machine certainly has the windows 10 product key stored inside the material that needs to be picked up by the installer. However, if I decide that I don't want this Windows 10 rather I want Windows 7 or less likely Windows 8, which should be on the inside then?

    I'm including Windows 7 and 8 here too since I can decide to change for them on this laptop additional mine and if sure that makes me never upgrade to Windows 10.

    (1) since then, the machine did not come with any recovery disk, how can I reinstall windows on an empty SSD 10 put in?

    Comment: Use the Novo button to access the recovery menu to restore the unit to the factory State or if you have your own backup image you can use. Read the manual.

    (2) I wish that I don't have to deal with Bloatware and crapware to get best results, how can I make sure that I don't end up with him again?

    Comment: You can install clean. However, you will remove the Lenovo recovery forever feature.

    Comment: This will be the same procedure. Just ensure that you have the necessary drivers for which version you decide. Expect a few surprises since the device is supposed to be built and tested to win 10.

    Suggestion: Try using a raid configuration in a single enclusure similar to this if possible.

    How upgrading? Is it through the store? Windows Update? Or through a downloaded Setup program?

    Before going to see him that there is no file corruption in the existing operating system running with high the sfc/scannow command. Search for viruses, spam, malware, etc. Then copy the files to install in a temporary folder, and then run the installation program. You should be able to upgrade smoothly.

  • Lenovo Z50; questions

    Hello

    I recently purchased the Lenovo Z50 - 70 (i7, GT 840 M 4 GB, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB + 8 SSD cache)

    I use it as stationary with the battery removed. I have no intention to use it with the battery in the future. Should I have the Manager of energy for anything? Four power settings ready to use it seem to only change the volume of my fan. Only with the saver of energy-mode the volume is OK. Even in the 45 degrees Celsius, the fan accelerates quite much and varies up and down annoyingly. Can't even imagine how it would sound if I used the laptop to the games... I noticed one thing though, is that the Module Windows Installer Worker Aspire sometimes closer to 30% of the processor. Then the fan accelerates really, and starts to whistle loudly. And once I tried to transfer and convert video files to my phone and windows of copyright - thing almost killed my laptop. The fan continuously at full speed, I had to cancel the transfer.

    The Lenovo so-called system update does not work with the laptop? It basically says that my phone is not taken in charge.

    I have not seen all messages from clients on the z50 anywhere. Makes me wonder someone even at - it still? Or have watched him in all the wrong places?

    Thank you!

He wasn't an inside my pc installation disk, I have only a recovery partition inside the hard drive, I want to change. Thank you

    A large number of SSD ship with data transfer software. I've personally used Samsung, and it worked fine. The operating system is transferred as well as all of your files, and because the key is embedded in the BIOS it will be authentic.

  • Turning off Caps Lock OSD on Lenovo Z50

    Hello

    I'm trying to disable the Caps Lock OSD (indicator) on my Lenovo Z50 - 75. I already looked in the display options, but I do not see the tab "on-screen Display". I managed to stop it from coming in putting an end to the "LenovoUtility" task in Task Manager, but I would like to know if there are better solutions because LenovoUtility can be used for other things that my PC may need.

    Thank you

    -Troy

    The passenger ON the icon as well as when it is turned off is a default response time caps & Num lock keys. There is no customization for public services. Uninstall the utiliity would be the only way, but can affect other materials as well.

  • Lenovo Z50 - 70 gel random error

    Hello!

    I just bought a Lenovo Z50-70 (840 M, i5, 1 to SSHD), and I have a very annoying problem.

    Installed Win 8.1 Pro with drivers from the DVD. All right, it is not all errors in the Manager devices, but random computer crashes (the cursor does not move, it is not for nothing), so I have to restart it by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.

    How can I fix? I hope this isn't a hardware problem.

    Thank you for the answers.

    I write my solution for this problem.

    Freezing at random was caused by electrostatic discharge. I used the laptop in a glass surface, and when I touched the metal parts, the discharge made and caused the gel.

    I put my laptop to a wooden table, the problem abandoned.
