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. Connect the drive that contains the operating system installation program to the computer.
2. Start the ThinkPad Setup program.
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 Restart and ensure that OS Optimized Defaults is enabled. Then press F10 to save the settings
and exit the ThinkPad Setup program.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the device drivers and necessary programs. See "Installing
device drivers" on page 54.
7. After installing the device drivers, apply Windows Update to get the latest modules, for example the
security patches.
8. Depending on your preference, install Lenovo programs.
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.
