– Rescue and Recovery
The Rescue and Recovery program is a one-button recovery and restore solution. It includes a set
of self-recovery tools to help you diagnose computer problems, get help, and recover from system
crashes, even if you cannot start the Windows operating system.
• For Windows 10 only:
– Lenovo ID
The Lenovo ID program enables you to create your Lenovo ID and access all supported Lenovo
programs and web portals with single sign-on.
• For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:
– Lenovo Support
The Lenovo Support program enables you to register your computer with Lenovo, check the computer
health condition and battery status, download and view user manuals for your computer, get the
warranty information of your computer, and explore help and support information.
• For Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1:
– Fingerprint Manager Pro or ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software
The Fingerprint Manager Pro or ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software program enables you to use a
fingerprint reader. The integrated fingerprint reader provided on some keyboards enables you to enroll
your fingerprint and associate it with your power-on password, hard disk password, and Windows
password. As a result, fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure
user access.
– Password Manager
The Password Manager program automatically captures and fills in authentication information for
Windows programs and Web sites.
– System Update
The System Update program provides regular access to the system updates for your computer, such

the Lenovo Help Center about new updates for your computer, then sorts and displays the updates for
download and installation. You have complete control of which updates to download and install.
• For Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10:
– Lenovo Bluetooth Lock
The Lenovo Bluetooth Lock program enables you to use a Bluetooth device (such as your smartphone)
as a proximity-based unit for locking or unlocking your computer automatically. By detecting the
distance between your computer and the predefined Bluetooth device that you are carrying, the Lenovo
Bluetooth Lock program automatically locks your computer when you walk away and unlocks your
computer when you come back. This is a simple way to protect your computer against unauthorized
access in case that you forget to lock your computer.
– PC Cloud Manager
The PC Cloud Manager (PCM) program is a browser-based solution for client-computer management.
The PCM program has two components: PCM Server and PCM Client. PCM Server is installed on
the computer, where the administrator performs management work, such as power management
and security management. PCM Client is installed on the client computers to be managed. The
administrator can log in to PCM Server to manage computers with PCM Client installed, through the
Internet Web browser.
