When I purchased my computer, it included a copy of Windows. How can I determine whether the copy of Windows is preinstalled by Lenovo?
On the outside of the sales package of your computer, you should find a label containing configuration information for your computer. Check the printed string next to OS. If it contains Windows or WIN, the copy of Windows was preinstalled by Lenovo.

I uninstalled a preinstalled software, but there is no significant increase in the free drive space.
The copy of Windows running on your computer may be Compact technology enabled. For computers with Compact technology enabled Windows, the majority of files needed for preinstalled software are installed on the Recovery Partition and won’t be deleted through normal uninstallation.
How can I determine whether the Windows running on my computer is Compact technology enabled?
Compact technology is normally enabled on copies of Windows 10 Update running on SSD (or eMMC) ‐only computer models. To check your computer,

Right‐click the Start button in the lower‐left corner and select Disk Management.
The Disk Management program starts.

If Wim Boot is labeled on the Windows partition (as illustrated), Compact technology is enabled on your copy of Windows. Where can I find drivers for the various hardware devices of my computer?
If your computer is preinstalled with a Windows operating system, first check the installation program on the D partition of your hard disk (for select models, on the C partition). If you cannot find the drivers for all the hardware devices that you need there, download the drivers from the Lenovo consumer support website.
