This is a bit technical for me Greg....
I don't understand for a few reasons:
1. On the link to the pdf file on lenovo's site that I sent you it states Windows 8.1 Pro
OR Windows 10 Pro.
2. The link that you sent on Lenovo's site says:
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro to:
- Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro
- Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
3. When I first got it, I actually updated to Win 10, but shortly after, downgraded back to win 7.
A while after that I did a clean install via the partition.....( win 7)....freshen up.
Anyway, in the box, there is a paper that says: Your computer is preinstalled with the Windows 7 pro os through the downgrade rights of the win 8 pro license. With no menion of windows 10. But when I bought, I pretty sure I recall reading about win 10
upgrade as well.
But like I said, I already updated to Win 10, and how can Lenovo say explicitly on the link I sent??? I'm confused, and I don't
understand what you meant when you said, "I see Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64 which implies it came with Windows 8.1 embedded Product Key."
On Lenvo's site that you sent me, it says:
Eligible for Microsoft Windows 10 Downgrade
Below that, it lists Win 10 Pro, to: Win 8.1 Pro, and Win 7 Pro.
Just like what PDF or excel file on lenovo's site said (explicitly with PRO versions): i.e.
Window® 7 Professional 64 preinstalled
through downgrade rights in Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit or Windows 10 Pro 64
I really lost here...
Kindly clarify...
Thanks again for your help!
2. When I first got the pc, I actually upgraded to win 10, but shortly after, downgraded back to win 7.
The issue may be that after that , I did reinstall to factory defaults (just to give a fresh install of the win 7) from the
partition.
