Registering your computer

When you register your computer with Lenovo, you enter required information into a Lenovo database. The
information enables Lenovo to contact you when there is a recall or other severe problem and provide
quicker service when you call Lenovo for help. In addition, some locations offer extended privileges and
services to registered users.
To register your computer with Lenovo, ensure that your computer is connected to the Internet and then
do one of the following:
• Go to http://www.lenovo.com/register and follow the instructions on the screen to register your computer.
• Register your computer through a preinstalled registration program on your computer:
- For Windows 7: The preinstalled Lenovo Product Registration program launches automatically after you
have used your computer for a time. Follow the instructions on the screen to register your computer.
- For Windows 8.1: Open the Companion program and follow the instructions on the screen to register
your computer.
Note: For information about how to open the Companion program on Windows 8.1, see "Accessing
Lenovo programs on the Windows 8.1 operating system" on page 9.

Using keyboard shortcuts

A keyboard shortcut is one key or combination of multiple keys. Through keyboard shortcuts, you can
perform tasks that would typically require a mouse or other pointing devices. Keyboard shortcuts provide
an easier alternative to interact with your computer as you work with the Windows operating system and
most applications.
For more information about the keyboard shortcuts, go to http://windows.microsoft.com, and then type any
of the following keywords for searching: keyboard shortcuts, key combinations, shortcut keys.
