Win7 on W700 is "not officially supported by Lenovo" UK !?!

#1 Post by rjay » Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:31 pm

I have a 2752-3au W700 machine which, shortly after purchasing, I loaded Win7 64bit onto. I noticed some minor issues, one of which was audio glitching intermittently but quite frequently.

I eventually discovered that if I disabled the FX3700M driver, the problem went away. I told Lenovo tech support this and they replaced the FX3700M board. The problem was not fixed so the machine was returned to their support center.

After a week they then phoned me and said that Lenovo did not support WIndows7 on the W700 - in other words, "it is not guaranteed to work".

I found this hard to believe as there is upgrade info on Lenovo's site and there are Windows 7 drivers made available.

So, is Lenovo UK tech support right or wrong ?

Mine was purchased in June and after official launch of win7 I requested and got official lenovo win 7 disks.

Up to that point I'd been running win7 RC and it's been very good since day one,
