![]() Update: called them back and they are dragging their feet. Supposed to email me by the end of the day. I have been asking for the Win 7 Pro disks and a valid key. Last edited by BinkyBill; 09-27-2012 at 10:56 AM.. |

I bought this computer in the Staples deal a while back, and there is a lot of info on updating it in this older thread:
http://slickdeals.net/f/4076536-L...MMV-199-50 VERY helpful info! When you reinstall the downloaded ISO file of Windows 7 Premium, it turns the computer into a 64-bit system, allowing you to add more RAM. I think I have 8 GB of RAM in mine now. I'll put the info in the Wiki. |

Also got Windows 7 Home Premium. Will call tomorrow...
Original product link doesn't seem to work so I found this: http://shoplenovo.i2.com/SEUILibr...u_area=yes Last edited by wyo_vr4; 09-27-2012 at 09:24 PM.. |

Those who received Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Professional may get a 10% discount if you call and complain. They also offered me a free return and refund. |

Wasted over an hour talking to Lenovo trying get the OS issue resolved. They won't budge.
My only option is to return the unit for a full refund. At least they'll waive the 15% restocking fee. They won't give me the disks and they won't give me a discount.

Is this still available? The links seem to take me nowhere and I need an inexpensive Win7 machine for my garage. This will do just fine.
If my post has helped you in any way or made you smile please take a moment to click the number next to my reputation and add to it. Thanks!

Wasted lots of time this weekend w/Lenovo. Sending this POS back. 1st & last Lenovo branded item I will be buying. I normally buy manu. refurbs with no issues at all. Not only was this not the advertised machine, wrong OS, different case than specified, etc etc, it plain does not function properly. Getting a full refund with no bs restock fee.
