Boost M2 slot to 256G and install OS there. Any issues u530 Touch

I want to install a 256 SSD in the M2 slot and move the OS and most of my programs there leaving the HD for large files (video and images) I am making the following assumptions. Please let me know if I left something out.
Pre install - Moved many fies to onedrive including outlook .pst files, favorites for IE and so on. Only move files here i want reinstalled on the c: drive. Once done, set onedrive to "make available online only."
Backed up to a portable hard drive.
1. Install and format the SSD as the new systems drive (c:\)
2. Change the BIOS to reflect this as the boot drive. (BIOS is upgraded to the latest version)
3. Fresh install of windows on the new c drive.
4. Do not install express cache.
5. Update drivers - Are there any specific Lenovo drivers I will need to reinstall or can i just install the latest from Intel and others.
6. Reinstall other software and move other files as necessary.
7. Set one drive to make available offline and wait several hours for the files to be re-populated on the laptop.
So what did I miss?
Thanks in advance for your help.

hi duworm,
Welcome to Lenovo Community,
If you're using WIndows 8 or 8.1, You might have a problem using a retail or a non Lenovo OS Installer.
It will not accept the Product key in the Mothebroard and will give you an activation error. But If you have your own Product key that came with the installer that you are going to use then it's not a problem.
About One Drive, Im not sure if it will look for the Same path(location) where the documents are from, or it will ask you where to put them.
About the Lenovo Software, Aside from the Drivers for the hardware, One thing that may cause a Notification in your device Manager is the Software called Lenovo Energy Management, You'll need to install this if you want the device manager to be free of notification, all other Software can be left out.
You might also want to check this if you have any problem booting into the M2 slot
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Lenovo-y510p-wont-reconize-NGFF-M-2-SSD-in-Disk...
Aside from those, all should push through with your Steps.
Regards
Solid Cruver

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

Hello, I've tried Lion from the day they released to last week I got my computer formated and with leopard again, on my iMac 24" from early 2009 2.9 Ghz core 2 duo, and I have installed 8 Gb of memory, and i have some complains about it, there are some cosmetic issues but mostly I'm concerned about issues bellow the hood, as I'm a stock trader and I depend completly from my computer's performance, let me explain:
Superficial issues:
1. They took off "spaces" and I liked it.
2. I dont use the magic mouse, I need a more accurate mouse for my charts, and it seems they built the entire OS assuming you would use the magic mouse for gestures, scroll, etc to try to mimic in some way the Ipad and Iphone functions, but what if you arent using it like me?
3. I never used that little rocket icon that makes all your apps appear and that could be one of the "improvements on Lion", at first sight it looks nice and slick, but if you try to use it and make it part of your daily use, you would find it is useless, it is a pain to try to arrange it the way you like it, so I rather use the spotlight to search for my apps, its faster.
Now the MOST important, 'performance':
1. It completly suffocate my computers hardware Leopard much more lighter, beggining from the start up that taked almost 1/3 or twice the time, and I think Lion has some bugs bellow the hood, i was doing my normal stuff, some apps running and everything, and suddenly I started to feel the computer a little slow, safari taking forever to open the pages for example, and I opened the activity monitor to see what was going on, and it was there, I was using 4 or 5 gb from my memory, and CPU making insane peaks, and Im using 2.46 gb as im writing it doing exactly the same stuff, (but Im happily using Leopard now), and it wasnt once, as i told before, I used lion since the day they released it and happened several times until it drove me nutts. But leopard not problem in that regard at all, Never.
hope this helps, and hope some apple guys read that because lion resulted in a big disappointment for me.

I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 1.5TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
      loads select your language and click on the Continue
      button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
      Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
      of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
      the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
      info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
      the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
      from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
      Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
      the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

I have an iMAC/OsX from 2005 and now cannot anymore download and exicute programs (both net and installing CD). Any settings/preferentials which I should look at?

Unfortunately what you need is something that is designed for PowerPC Macs. Stuff that is designed for Intel Macs will not work. The PowerPC (PPC) Mac software is getting scarcer. Macs in 2006 shifted to Intel CPUs. Stuff that is designated Universal will work, and you can buy the retail 10.5 if you have no Mac OS 9 related software that needs to load. If you partition your hard disk, or use an external Firewire hard drive partition just for booting into 10.4.11 or earlier, you can still use Classic for Mac OS 9. My user tip here discusses your options:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275
Don't dump your PowerPC Mac yet, Appleworks has no equivalent in the Intel Mac world once upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7 or later, and this tip covers Appleworks:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2522
So you are unfortunately stuck in the transition period, but if carefully reviewed can be done right if you ready all your documents for the transition when you can afford it.

No I didn't even read through your post, to long.
You said that "No matter what program I try to install, as soon as the installer opens it crashes". Were you talking about the install for this/these 3D programs or ANY program? As it is worded it sounded like ANY program. That tells me there is a problem with your Mac, software or hardware.
Now you say others install programs, which is it. Programs other then the 3D ones install or no programs install?
Could simply be your Mac is to old to run these programs and the installer knows that. You never said what model or year Mac it is.

call them, tell them you NEED a new battery installed, and they need to tell you when they can do it. That is their job to help you! Give pushback if necessary.

I have updated my iphone and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution? I am about to syncope!

I have updated my iphone4 and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution?

All data that was on your iPhone should be on your computer.
All photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer should remain on your computer and can be retransferred. Photos/videos captured by the iPhone can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before installing an iOS update. Re-transfer these photos from your computer as with any other photos available on your computer.
Contacts and notes are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and there are some free email accounts that support syncing contacts and notes over the air.

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and I have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad to the iTunes account

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and i have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad with kindle app?

You can sync as many iDevices as you own to a single iTunes library if you want to do so. If you manage the content manually, you can pick and choose the apps, music, videos and so on that you want on each device. One iTunes account means using the same Apple ID to purchase and update all of your apps. You can share apps on both devices because once you buy an app, you can download it to all of your iDevices - as many times as you want - using the same Apple ID and iTunes account. If you decide to do this, you have to sync to the same computer each time in order to keep all of your shared apps in the one iTunes library.
The Kindle App content is not synced to the iTunes library. It is controlled by your Kindle account. I believe that you can go into your Kindle account and transfer your purchase to your other devices - iPad, computer, etc. You can both have the Kindle app on your iPads and share the content as far as I know, so I see no conflict there. However, while I do have the Kindle app and an account, I do not use it very often.
If you want to share the one iTunes account, there should be no problems with a second iPad. I sync my iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's iPod Touch to my MacBook using the same iTunes library and we have different content on all three devices. My daughter uses my iTunes account for her iPod Touch and syncs to her own MacBook and her own iTunes library.
Four devices using one iTunes account syncing to two different iTunes libraries.

Downloading and installing 3.0+ to 2nd ipod touch

For the next two months, I am away from home (and my "base" computer) but my 2nd ipod touch badly needs updating to the new software 3.0 or higher. How can this be accomplished on a public computer?
Also will I have to pay again after I paid for it on my first ipod touch? I don't want to sync anything and I don't needt to do a back up yet... I simply need to install the update.

Yeah, since it is a public computer there would be no need for them to have a backup file from my ipod. Plus it will take forever to wait on it.
Well, keep in mind that the backup does not consist of your media files, only your iPod preferences, contacts, calender, web links, game data, etc. This normally only take a few seconds, and you can always delete the backup from within iTunes (as long as your Touch is still connected).
Kam D'Bret wrote:
I think I will try downloading the update to itunes while my ipod is still disconnected and see if there is any trouble and then connect to install if everything goes well.
OK, just beware that its not always the downloading part where problems happen, usually the problems (if there will be any) occur during the OS installation, and that is where a firewall and AV software can get in the way (among other potential issues). I'm not trying to scare you off, just warn you that there can be problelms and you might think twice before insalling a new OS while away from home. If you really wanted to play it safe, you could use a 3rd party software to extract your media files to a local computer before udpating the OS, but you probably don't want to do that on a public one.

I downloaded the Complete Adobe Elements and installed but ther eare No Program icons

OK, I download the Complete Elements 10 via the singe download option. The installer ran to completion. There isn't a program start icon on teh desktop or anywhere in the start menus.
Thre is a Folder on the desktop with all 6 contents ( 1-3 and 1-3hd) If I click setup.exe in any of those folders it asks if I want to Uninstall. Windows Control Panel shows it installed as well. Just no darnm way to start the program.
This is Windows7 64Bit 3GHZ Quad-Core AMD with 8GB memory with the C: drive being a SSD. Speed and space is not an issue.
I really hate a company that basically has tech support except during basically M-F 8x5. I guess people are supposed to take off from work to install software they privately purchased.
