Yes, it's not the quickest thing, however it can be very fast with some small tweaks.
1) Opted out of S mode - pretty painless.
2) debloated - just manually uninstalled the preinstalled apps. Im sure there's a quicker way to do it with a script.
3) quick adjustments to turning off privacy, notifications, things that send data to Microsoft.
4) 4GB of memory is soldered and added a 8GB DDR stick on the open RAM Slot. System recognizes 12GB now.
5) Open m2 SSD slot - Popped in a old 250 GB Samsung 970 Plus. Boots perfectly and much faster plus have the built in 128GB eMMC for storage. The SSD operates at 3500Mbps where as the eMMC storage is at around 300Mbps.
6) There is also a SD card slot for more storage.
Includes 1 year of office 365 which is solid value if you were already paying $70 a year for it.
The only con I find is the screen. It is VERY lackluster and leaves alot to be desired. It is usable, but thinking of plugging in a monitor if I was going to do any lengthy work on it.
USB C only does data, no charging or display port, however I knew that going in.
It is light and plasticky in a good way and the blue makes it seem more expensive than it is.
Step 1. Type "UEFI" in the start menu.
Step 2. Click "Change Advanced Startup Option
Step 3. Click "Restart Now" in the Advanced Startup" section
Step 4. After the computer reboots it will come up to a blue screen with "Continue", "Turn off your PC", "Use a device" and "Troubleshoot". Go ahead and click "Troubleshoot"
Step 5. Click "Advanced Options" and click "UEFI Firmware Settings" and click "Restart"
Step 6. This will open the BIOS screen. Go to the "Boot" menu and make sure that option "eMMC" is on the bottom and your SSD is above it.

You can also reset windows after this, which will remove all bloatware installed by Lenovo.

Much much faster CPU. CPU cannot be upgraded. And much much better screen. Screen cannot be upgraded.

So I ended up cloning all the partitions in the eMMC drive to the SSD using Macrium Reflect. The EFI (260MB) and Recovery (2000MB) partitions (and a small Reserved (16MB) partition) were copied over, and the main Windows partition was cloned into a bigger partition.
After this, even after I changed the boot order in the BIOS, Windows gave me a blue screen with error. It seems to be confused with 2 EFI partitions (in eMMC and SSD). So I boot to USB and use the media creation tool again to delete all the partitions in the original eMMC, and then do a fresh W11 install on the SSD main windows partition. That seems to solve the problem.
Now I have the system booting to SSD, and the eMMC is just an extra storage.

Macrium effect is no more free, 30days trail version works for this?
