Hi,
Linux user here trying to get a Win7 lenovo going for my wife's mother.
It came with Win 10, so I immediately erased it and installed Win7. (My Windows using friends tell me this is the best course of action.) But oops, no drivers.
I downloaded the ethernet driver from here: https://download.lenovo.com/eol/index.html
But do I need to install anything else?
Is there one app that will suss all this out and install what needs installing?
With Win7, should I install some kind of antivirus?
thanks,
joejoe

Re: T410 w/ Win 7 fresh install, driver and other questions
Lenovo System Update is probably what you're thinking.
I don't personally use it though.
Drivers I usually install:
- chipset
- graphics
- LAN
- wifi
- Trackpoint/Ultranav
- Active Protection System (not needed if you only have SSDs and not HDDs)
- Hotkey
- card reader
Software
- Lenovo Power Manager
- Antivirus
