Lenovo Helix - Clean Install of Windows 8.1 - Best way to load Software and Drivers

I am considering doing a clean install of the Windows 8.1 operating system on my Lenovo Helix. What I am wondering is if (After I install the operating system) there is an easy way to get all teh lenovo drivers and software loaded without having to download/install each of them one at a time?
If not, is there a specific set or order from which they should be installed?
Is there anything I would lose by doing a clean install of 8.1?
Thanks....

Sarbin,
I only have one device issue that has popped up. My keyboard has begun to work somewhat wonky. Sometimes if I am in tablet mode then switch to keyboard mode the keyboard doesn't respond. It will only respond after several reboots/shutdowns. Is there a good way to make Lenovo System Update reinstall the keyboard drivers? If you have any advice on fixing this issue that would be great.
I also thought I was going to lose all teh Lenovo specific apps when I did a clean install. I didn't. The only one I don't see is one which was called "Lenovo Experience". It was nice but if that is all I lost then I am ok with it.
I love this computer. Now it feels like new again....
You're welcome.
Some things I prefer to install manually, outside of TVSU. BIOS and firmware are good examples. Have a look through the driver listing for the keyboard/dock update and scan the readme. The behavior you're seeing may be part of that fix.
Looking at one of my Win8 OEM-preload machines, the Lenovo Experience shortcut points at "dxpserver.exe". Maybe that info will help pinpoint if there's an installer for the complete package.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

[Helix gen2] Clean Install of Windows 8.1 - one unknown device left

Hi,
I did a clean install of win 8.1 with the suggested procedure (System Updater, Solution Center)
Unfortunately, there is one unknown device left in the device manager:
Intel(R) Serial IO SPI Host Controller - 9CE5
ACPI\VFSI6101\1
which I thought could be solved by this driver:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-helix-series-laptops/thinkpad...
But without success. So could anyone help? Which is the right driver? Or what should I do?
Thx Ralf

Good day and welcome to the community.
I found a few vague references of VFSI6101 being related to a Validity Fingerprint Sensor.
Looking at the Helix Gen2 driver pages: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-helix-series-laptops/thinkpad...
and specifically at the FPR software package page:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-helix-series-laptops/thinkpad...
there's a reference to: "Synaptics FP Sensors(WBF) VFS6101". Pretty close!
So you might try that to see if it clears up the orphaned device.
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards.

Lenovo v470 - clean install of Windows 7 with Anytime Upgrade

hi
i just purchased a Lenovo Ideapad V470, and I would like to reinstall the operating system before setting it up. I hate bloatware, and I would much prefer to start with a new, simple machine. I purchased the Windows 7 Professional Anytime upgrade, and I'm not sure how to go about this since I am used to having disks, not cards with codes and all that.
I have an OEM copy of a Windows 7 Professional (that I am using for a different computer), but since the Lenovo came loaded with Windows 7 Home, will I be able to use the disk to install Windows 7? Does the anytime upgrade function as a product key, so I can just type in the product key when i get to that screen? Is it okay to use any disk that has Windows 7 Professional, since I purchased a unique product key?
Thanks!

Yes you can complete this task.
First you will insert the OEM disk you have for Windows 7 Pro and go through the regular install process. When it comes time for the product key, now this is the important step, click the "Skip" button. Complete the install like regular.
Once you are in windows, right-click on Computer and select Properties. Scroll to the bottom of the System Properites window and click the Change Product Key link. Here you will enter the key you purchased and can complete the setup process. Enjoy

Can I clean install a Windows 7 Pro System Builder on a Lenovo PC with Windows 8 preinstalled?

Hi. I would like to clean install windows 7 on a Lenovo PC that came with Windows 8 core preinstalled. I want to format the entire drive and remove windows 8 and clean install windows 7. I already tried the clean install of Windows 7 Pro to get all of my drivers in line, and now I would like to buy a Product Key.
Would a Windows 7 Pro System Builder work in my case? Would it work just as smoothly as a retail version? I understand that the System Builder is an OEM version that includes the Product Key, COA, and DVD) Just want to make sure before I buy the System Builder version of Windows 7 Pro. Thanks.
Grazzie
Solved!
Go to Solution.

that should be retail since it seemed to be used for pc upgrades either way your new system builder key should work. those are called refresh because they re-released them sincea bug was found in thier installers. Do you have any key in the computer atm? or is windows just waiting to be activated?
EDIT: its a good copy look here> http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/14-windows-7-direct-download-links
Should you want to use the DVD images permanently, and don't own a product key yet, you can order a Windows 7 OEM or retail version from Amazon. The OEM reinstallation versions contain a DVD with a product key just like the retail versions. They are significantly cheaper, but lack a proper box packaging, and don't include technical support by Microsoft. The OEM key will work with the Digital River downloads, so you can just pick the cheapest one. Sometimes better editions are the cheaper ones, so all of the following links to Amazon offers might be worth checking. I've already tried to find good deals for all editions and linked to them here:

How backup/save software installed on T400 before doing clean install of Windows 7?

Hi
I have a Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

"In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?"
As Maliha said (or implied) that doesn't work. Just copying installed programs doesn't set up the registry entries or any data folders and files they may use in your user files.
You might consider copying your entire user directory to large flash or DVD or external hard drive as a way to preserve your personal data and program data files. Things like Thunderbird mail or Firefox bookmarks are in C:\users\kathleenklein\appdata\... (which may not be visible unless you make them so) and can be plugged back into your Windows 7 install.
"I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated."
First, have you made your factory recovery media? That ensures that you can revert to factory Lenovo setup if you ever want to. To give the machine to your little brother, for instance. It will burn a pair of CDs and one or more DVDs.
You can/should also use R&R to save a current whole-disk image to external media. That lets you fall back to your current setup if necessary. This is likely to be fairly large. An external hard drive is usually required. Use advanced R&R to set up the target and start things off. Once you are sure that Win 7 is going to work for you, you can get rid of the saved Vista image and use the drive for your Windows 7 backups. You do make backups...
R&R can't (AFAIK) save your Vista user stuff and restore it to WIn 7.
Is this a clean install using Lenovo media or is it Microsoft vanilla? I just did a MS Vanilla 7 install. Since the service and recovery partitions in the Lenovo Visa drive configuration will be useless in a WIn 7 install (if MS vanilla) I used the advanced option and had the Win 7 install delete all partitions and just do its thing. It created a small boot partition and used the rest of the drive for C:
After installing '7, install the latest TVSU and let it pull down the basic/necessary Lenovo drivers and apps. After that you may choose to install the latest R&R. Surprisingly, it can be used to make backups even without the Lenovo partitions present. I've verified that by making a full image and restoring to a bare drive.
It's handy to Install '7, do a MS update, install TVSU, do a Lenovo update, install R&R and then burn a recovery set of CDs and DVDs so you can rewind to a sort of base-usefull-initially-updated condition should that be necessary.
As you probably already know, start here for your Lenovo Win 7 downloads: ThinkVantage Technologies Updates
Likely more or less than you wanted - but you asked

Fingerprint Driver Install after clean install of Windows 7

I've performed a clean install of Windows 7 on my X300 (6476CTO). I downloaded and installed the Fingerprint Driver 5.9.2 for Windows 7 32-bit (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73583). However, everytime I reboot I get a message that the Fingerprint Reader cannot access dll file vtapip.dll and the fingerprint registration fails. What can I do to remedy this problem?
I did notice on the readme that machines running less than the 5.6 version of the fingerprint software should upgrade to 5.6.2 before installing newer versions. Does this include clean installs? If so, where can I get the 5.6.2 driver? I cannot currently locate it.
Thanks,
Mindy

I have searched for A200 and A210 in the Toshiba sections of Equium, Satego, Satellite and Satellite Pro but their are no Flash card support utility. In the details of the "Value added package" are the words:
"TOSHIBA Flash Cards provides the Hotkey function and the launcher function that starts the Hotkey function and launches the other TOSHIBA utilities"
So I think it's useless to search for this utility. It's more important for me to know which files (like name of the launcher program) must be started to use the FN keys.

Could anyone of you please who has a clean install of Windows 8.1 on the SSD drive look at some settings of certain services (below)?

Hi everyone,
could anyone of you please
who has a clean install of Windows
8.1 on the SSD drive look at some settings
of certain services (below)?
Thank you.
Prefetch and Superfetch. In registry located on way
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\ Control\ SessionManager \MemoryManagement \PrefetchParameters.
I am interested in EnablePrefetcher and
EnableSuperfetch REG_DWORD value.
Just a number in parentheses.
ReadyBoot. In registry located on way HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control \WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot.
I am interested REG_DWORD value of
Start. Just a number in parentheses.
Run dfrgui command. Go to Change settings and have a look if SSD on which is the system installed is included in regular optimalization schedule.
Registry can be accessed running regedit command.

Hi,
Prefetch and Superfetch means that most commonly used files are stored to disk to be more quickly accessed later.
For Prefetch:
Disable Caching: 0
Cache Applications Only: 1
Cache Boot Files Only: 2
Cache Everything (default): 3
For SuperFetch:Disable Caching: 0
Cache Boot Processed Only: 1
Cache Applications Only: 2
Cache Everything (default): 3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot\Start value means:
disable: 0
enable: 1

How to do a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 OEM Key

I have recently purchased a new C540 that has Windows 8 already installed on it. I would like to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1 on this computer.
This is what I have done so far:
I disabled 3 things in the BIOS: IIRC, they were secure boot, quick boot, and something about "optimized" startup
I have changed my boot priority to put the CD/DVD drive first and any flashdrive 2nd
I have figured out my OEM Windows Product Key (this is for a Windows 8 Core/64 bit OS)
I have setup a flashdrive with Windows 8.1 on it
I tried to boot from the flashdrive...when I get the option to install windows 8.1, I click on it and very quickly get the following error -- "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key."
I added a PID.txt file with my OEM product key in the Source folder of the Windows 8.1 install....I don't get the above error message immediately, but a screen comes up that asks me to enter a Product Code...my OEM product code (being for W8, not W8.1) does not work while using a generic key (for Windows 8.1 Core) yields the same error message as above and exits the installer.
I then added an EI.CFG file that sets the edition to core, the version to OEM, and the Volume to 0...unfortunately, when trying to install Windows 8.1 it still asks me for a product key before installing...I cannot get past this screen even though (to my understanding) the EI.CFG file should cause the installer to skip asking for a product key...
It is important to me that I get to perform a CLEAN install of Windows 8.1...I do not want to upgrade through windows store...the only keys I have are a W8 Pro Retail key (for my laptop) and a W8 Core OEM key (that came with the new C540)...I am using a flashdrive to perform this since I knew I may have to add/change files like the PID and EI.CFG....
I would appreciate any help I can get in solving this problem...I am also willing to try burning an .iso with the PID and/or EI.CFG, but I'm trying to avoid trial and error with that since it is time consuming, requires an ADK, and may waste DVDs...I'd only make an .iso if (for whatever reason) that would work where a flashdrive woud not...

I have a new SSD drive and need to either migrate my old HD data, including the Windows 8.1 OS or do a a clean install. I have obtained the ISO, prepared the boot for the flashdrive and downloaded the install software. It asks for the product key. I used the suggested BIOS reader and obtained "a" product key off the BIOS and used that it but (as above) it does not recognize the image.
How id I get my single Windows license onto my new SSD HD? Reload, clean install, ???
How do I get the proper product key or confirm it is correct?
It is a new system with little data that I need to copy. I just want the operating system. I have the driver disc that came with it.

Error 0x80070015 on clean install of windows 8.1 enterprise

Hi, I am receiving and error 0x80070015 when trying to do a clean install of windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation on to a newly built PC. I am installing from a USB stick to a brand new SSD running in ACHI mode. Each time the installation reaches
12% on the 'getting files ready for installation' I receive this error message. The first time I tried the installation I also got an error message 0x800703ee but this has now stopped.
Please go easy on me, I'm not an IT pro, I want to check out windows 8.1 on this new build to decide if I want to go with it or stick with Windows 7 on this and my other work PC.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks, Simon

Hi,
Error code 0x80070015 usually means "device not ready" and is often seen when the USB drive or disc is having issues.
Please re-create a bootable USB or DVD to check the results.
Another thing is that there might be some SATA clash on your system with the new SSD connected. Please try to enter the WinRE from your USB drive and try following commands to create new partition:
1. Use Diskpart command line to show the partition on your disk:
Run CMD as Administrator, type following command line one by one:
DISKPART
List Disk
Select Disk 0
2. Delete the system partition (if there is, it can be about 100~200MB) and C partition, delete these 2:
List Partition
Select Partition 0 (I suspect that there is the system partition on this disk and it’s the partition 0)
Delete Partition
Select Partition 1 (I suspect that this is the C drive)
Delete Partition
3. Create new one.
Create Partition Primary
4. Try to restart system via installation disk and reinstall Windows 8 on it.
For detailed information about this command, you can refer to this article:
DISKPART:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770877(v=ws.10).aspx
If the issue persists, please run Check disk tool in WinRE:
CHKDSK /R /F
Any error message, please post back.
Hope these could be helpful.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Clean install of windows 8 crashing with BSoD: "attempted execute of noexecute memory"

I recently bought this computer (sorry for hyperlink, but it is much easier than trying to list all the components):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227593
I added a Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD to it, and then I attempted to do a clean install of windows 8.1 onto the SSD from
the reinstall DVD that came with the system. Windows 8.1 appears to install correctly, but when the computer restarts to load windows for the first time, I get a BSoD with the error "attempted execute of noexecute memory". I tried reinstalling, but
got the same error.
Note that for testing purposes, I installed windows 7 on the SSD, and it works great. Unfortunately, I do not have a windows
7 key, so this is only a temporary solution. I would like to figure out how to get windows 8.1 on the SSD and running on the my computer.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice that you can give me.

How save factory software on T400 and reinstall after clean install of Windows 7

Hi
I have a Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

Please review the HP software and driver download page for drivers/software that are compatible with Windows 7. Also note that there is a BIOS update for Windows Vista that improves the system's ability to function with WIndows 7. Also read "Alerts" and other information regarding this product and Windows 7.

Touch doesn't work after clean install of Windows 7 Professional

I have an IQ526t. I did a clean install (remove drive/repartition/format drive) of Windows 7 Professional, and now the touchscreen feature doesn't work. I've been on forums here and at Mirosoft, downloaded various drivers, rebooted multiple times, etc....no luck. I get the sound, but no response. Thoughts???

Hello bmarkj,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you have removed the recovery drive and installed Windows 7 by not using the OEM version that came with your computer. You have a couple options here, first you can download and install the HP Support Assistant and let it download and install the software and drivers that came with your computer. You can alter the settings so that the updates are manually done giving you control over what gets updated and what does not. Or you can download and install the drivers and what software you want from HP TouchSmart IQ526t CTO Desktop PC Drivers page. The choice is yours.
***NOTE: Be warned that there is software that come with some of the computers that is ONLY available from the recovery drive so you may not see everything you are used to seeing. The only way of recoverying this software is through the HP Recovery Discs.
I hope I have addressed your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Clean install of Windows 8

I am about to perform a clean install of Windows 8, however I don't want to lose my copies of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 and Premiere Elements 7.0. These programs were both pre-installed on my Sony-Vaio so I don't have a media disc for them. How can I retain these programs and activate them on my updated PC?

A clean install of Windows 8 will wipe out your other files by definition as will the recovery disks. Fortunately, Windows 8 has some new Maintenance options not seen in prior versions. You can try an OS "refresh" which will install new Windows 8 system files without disturbing your data or settings.

You will want to back up your important files before you do this as there is a small chance it can go awry.
