When I purchased my computer, it included a copy of Windows. How can I determine whether the
copy of Windows is preinstalled by Lenovo?
On the outside of the sales package of your computer, you should find a label containing configuration
information for your computer. Check the printed string next to OS. If it contains Windows or WIN, the copy
of Windows was preinstalled by Lenovo.
What is the Recovery Partition?
If your computer is preinstalled with any version of Windows 10, the storage device of your computer
contains a Recovery Partition. This partition contains the image file of the preinstalled Windows operating
system. In cases of system failure, you can use the Lenovo OneKey Recovery system or the Windows Reset
feature to restore the operating system to its factory status.
Note: The Recovery Partition is not assigned a drive letter and cannot be accessed through Windows File
Explorer.
