That will usually "restore" the crap as well.
You might be better off installing a Free Software operating system from scratch. (e.g. OpenBSD for the security fanatics, or any other *BSD, or Solaris, or some Linux distro.)
Even better: Buy a laptop without any operating system. However, in some cases this may make the laptop more expensive. (e.g. what if Lenovo gets paid by crap providers for pre-installing?)
- kbenson 12y agoI think "from scratch" is meant to imply a virginal source of windows, not the Lenovo supplied version.

For those who don't know how, buy only "Signature Edition" PCs. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/categoryID.69916600 http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/cat/category...
