Windows® 8 Systems With Downgrade Facilitation Rights (preinstalled Windows 7 downgrade)
Downgrade Facilitation: Systems that are preinstalled with Windows 7 Professional software and also come with a license and media for Windows 8 Pro software may only use one version of the Windows software at a time. Switching between versions requires you to uninstall one version and install the other version.
Downgrade Facilitation: To enable downgrade to Windows 7 on this system, the BIOS settings were changed to boot into legacy BIOS mode. If the BIOS setting is not changed to native UEFI mode boot prior to installing, Windows 8 Pro will install; however, the following Windows 8 Pro functionalities will not work as they rely on a native UEFI mode boot:
- Secure Boot
- Seamless Boot experience
- Network unlock for Bitlocker for systems with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
- eDrive support
Please refer to the system packaging or the support website (www.lenovo.com/support) for instructions on how to switch the BIOS mode. Reverting to UEFI mode will require a hard drive reformat and all data and personal settings will be lost. It is highly recommended that you back up your data before you modify any BIOS settings.
