T420 Running Slow & need 64bit Recovery
T420 Running Slow & need 64bit Recovery
Folks - I have a T420 running W7 32 bit. Running slow for first 5 mins then fine. Checked out all ususal suspects indexing / startup programs etc but no joy. Clean install of W7 32 bit ok for a few days until it happened again probably after a W7 update was installed. I suspect it is something to do with updates!!
Does anyone have a set of original Lenovo W7 64bit recovey and driver DVD’s that I could obtain to fully rebuild my T420 ? The lappy was originally supplied with W7 64bit but the original recovery partition is not present.
Any help appreciated. Thanks, David.

Burn CDs/DVDs of those ISOs and you'll be grand.
No need for originals.

In fact, the original set I got from Lenovo are merely DVD R discs that were burned, then had an ink label stamped on them...

Re: T420 Running Slow & need 64bit Recovery
I recently received another T420 off ebay--would it be possible to get the isos? I can provide Serial number of T420 if needed.
While I do have a Windows 7 iso lying around I'd like to install the original Lenovo environment
Thanks,
Jonathan

The Lenovo System Update will reload all of your drivers after it examines your machine. Easy peasy.
The only one you definitely need is your wi-fi driver to get to the internet.
