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. Ensure that you set the security chip to TPM 2.0. For more information, see “Setting the security chip”
on page 55.
2. For computer models that support the Intel Optane technology, start the ThinkPad Setup program and
select Config ➙ Storage ➙ Controller Mode. Ensure that RST mode is selected.
3. Connect the drive that contains the operating system installation program to the computer.
4. Start the ThinkPad Setup program. See “Using the ThinkPad Setup program” on page 63.
5. Select Startup ➙ Boot to display the Boot Priority Order submenu.
6. Select the drive that contains the operating system installation program, for example, USB HDD. Then
press Esc.
7. Select Restart and ensure that OS Optimized Defaults is enabled. Then press F10 to save the settings
and exit the ThinkPad Setup program.
8. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the device drivers and necessary programs. See “Installing
device drivers” on page 62.
9. After installing the device drivers, apply Windows Update to get the latest modules, for example the
security patches.
10. Depending on your preference, install Lenovo programs. For information about Lenovo programs, see
“Lenovo programs” on page 14.
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.
For computer models that support the Intel Optane technology, continue to enable the Intel Optane memory
by doing the following:
1. Go to
http://www.lenovo.com/support. Download and install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel
RST) Console with device driver on your computer.
2. Run the Intel RST Console with device driver.
3. Click Intel® Optane™ Memory and then follow the instructions on the screen to enable it.
