Upgrading to Windows 7 with Lenovo original recovery disks

[elvair]

Hi all,

Here is the question. I got my x301 recently with Vista Ultimate on it. From the looks of it Windows 7 will be released soon and it appears to be much smoother system, hence I would like to migrate. Here is the question - would you reckon it will be possible to obtain from Lenovo a set of recovery disk which would return your machine into original factory condition, same as on Vista, but with Windows 7, whenever the new OS is out. Even if official free upgrade will not be available, I'm happy to pay for the licence upgrade or for the new license. The key concern is to burn original recovery setup on my disk, as if it would've been shipped with Windows 7.

Anyone got here similar experiences ? For example moving from pre-installed XP on machine to Vista in such a way ? And what are the opinions ?

Thanks !

Regards !

Nope. They only give you the OS that came with the machine.

I depends on what you regard as soon... I wouldn't recommend holding you breath.

This has been my experience as well. They hold a hard line and will only sell you the media which contains the OS that is listed on the COA on the bottom of your ThinkPad.

Any other OS that you wish to use, is up to you to obtain from another source.

Cheers...
