Windows 7 upgrade/reinstall and Lenovo EE on W510

#1 Post by Mayas » Fri Jul 16, 2010 3:22 pm

Hey guys,

I have just gotten my new W510 and it's an absolutely fantastic machine.

Now I want to well upgrade to Win7 Ultimate I already have it on a DVD so no need to purchase it. What I need to know is if I reinstall it over my factory installed Win7 Professional with all the Lenovo EE (Enhanced Experience) tweaks done for Win 7 will I lose all of those or is there some way to retain them?

Second any advice at all on things I should watch out for while upgrading to Ultimate?

Thanx alot u'all

I believe that a upgrade key can be used in anytime upgrade, allowing you to keep the EE, and get a "better" version of windows 7. Anytime upgrade will allow you to keep all your setting and software intact, and I believe that it takes about 20minutes to upgrade using anytime upgrade.
