Installing the Windows 8.1 operating system

In some situations, you might need to install a new operating system. This topic provides instructions on
how to install a Windows 8.1 operating system.

Before you start, print these instructions.

Attention:

• The process of installing a new operating system deletes all the data on your hard disk drive, solid-state

drive, or hybrid drive, including the data that were stored in a hidden folder.

• If your computer is equipped with both a hard disk drive and an M.2 solid-state drive, do not use the

M.2 solid-state drive as a bootable device. The M.2 solid-state drive is used for “cache” function and to
support the Intel Rapid Start Technology.

To install the Windows 8.1 operating system, do the following:

1. Start the ThinkPad Setup program. See “Using the ThinkPad Setup program” on page 79.

2. Select Startup Boot to display the Boot Priority Order submenu.

3. Select the drive that contains the Windows 8.1 operating system installation program, for example

USB HDD.

4. Press the F10 key to exit the ThinkPad Setup program.

5. Connect the drive that contains the Windows 8.1 operating system installation program to the computer,

and restart the computer.

6. Install the Windows 8.1 fix modules. Go to the Microsoft Knowledge Base home page at

http://support.microsoft.com/. Type the number of the fix module in the search field, then click Search.

7. Install the registry patches. To download and install the registry patches, go to the Lenovo Support Web

site at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support
