Hi jbobst,
if you go to the support site, http://support.lenovo.com/us/en, or click on support at the top of the forum you will be able to search on the model type of your system after selecting Search by Machine Type Model.
If your system is a CTO, Configured To Order, this wont unfortunately tell you which OS was preinstalled in which case you can use Parts Lookup; this will usually state which OS was installed. For Parts Lookup only the first 4 characters of the MTM are required.

  • Trying to understand Lenovo support - I just need a basic question answered

    I have a few Thinkstation S20 desktops that are now out of warranty and I am trying to re-purpose them for lab machines.  These desktops do not have any Windows 7 product key stickers on them and I would like to put Windows 7 Pro on them.  I assume they probably were shipped with Windows 7, but these came from another office in our company and they might have been ordered as CAD workstations.  However, if they are allowed legally to have Windows 7, I would like to install it.  With our older Dell's systems, we can go into Dell's website, put in a service tag and see the original configuration.  There doesn't appear to be this simple way of doing this on Lenovo's website...is there?
    What is the deal with Lenovo support?  I've had some awful experiences and this one is no exception.  Read on if you are interested in the absurd support details...
    So I call the main Lenovo 800 support number.  After I give the lady all my information, she says "oh, this is a thinkstation, and you are in the wrong department...let me transfer you".  So, after a long hold, I get another person on the phone...I go through all the information on the system in question, explain that I am trying to find out if this machine came with an OEM Windows 7 license.  After a few more minutes, she now tells me "Oh, this is a Thinkstation...I cannot support those...you have to call a different phone number".  She give me the phone number (which is the ORIGINAL phone number I called!!!) and tells me to push option 2, then option 1, and put in a machine type of 4155, even though the machine type is really 4157.  I confirm with her that she is giving me the wrong machine type, but she insists I use that one.  So, I call back the other 800 number, go through ALL the information a third time, and she tells me these machines are out of warranty.  I know they are out of warranty, I just want find out if they came with Windows 7 Professional!  She says she needs to transfer me to the software department.  I get put on hold again, and then have to give ALL my information to the NEW person for the 4th time!  After a long hold, she finally gets back to me and tells me this is a CTO model and customizable by the customer.  She then says her records show it came with Vista.  This machine was built well after the release of Windows 7...I have no idea how it came with Vista, and she says I need to call the vendor and find out why there is no sticker on it.

    well forget what i said then. I see what you are trying to do and it can be done this way but I don't really like it. My opinion however is not important yet!
    I suggest you start by calling the init() method in the constructor. I don't see where you called this method and since you didn't then none of the text fields are created.
    DetailsPopup(Frame f)
       super(f);
       Button b3;  //submit
       b3 = new Button ("Submit"); //add the button "Submit"
       b3.addActionListener(this);

  • HT201342 How do I get my security question answers if I forgot them? My mail is my normal hotmail address, but my rescue address is my iCloud. I just need the security questions so I can download music.

    I just got an iPod 5th generation for Christmas. Before, I had a 4th generation. I made my apple account over a year ago and I can't remember my security question answers. I've looked how to fix this, but it says send a rescue email. My rescue email is my iCloud account. I have no idea how to check my email on there because my mail is already just my hotmail account. I would make a new apple ID, but I've already downloaded a $10 card onto my iTunes not knowing it was going to do this. Please help!

    Apple ID security issues -
    Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.

  • Need a quick simple answer to this question please

    Hi all,
    Well. Today I'm going be signing a new contract with AT&T because I'm done with T-Mobile. Never have service when I need it!
    I really want to get the iPhone.
    My question is...Do I need to buy an extra package with AT&T to activate the internet and e-mail on the iPhone or can I use it right out of them box???
    I'm asking because I know with all companies you need to add that internet and e-mail package to get access.
    Thanks for the help

    When purchasing an iPhone 3G new, activation with AT&T is required at the store when the iPhone 3G is purchased, and the unlimited data plan for the iPhone 3G is required as part of the activation process.
    The cost is an additional $30/mo over your chosen calling and SMS plan, and is unlimited.
    This is AT&T'a standard unlimited data plan rate for all phones in the smart phone category regardless if such a phone is a 3G phone.

  • Newbie question? Probably. I just need a quick bit of help!

    Hi folks
    I don't use iMovie too much, but can usually figure out the program enough to suit my needs... except today, I can't for the life of me figure out how to lop off the end of the video which is dead space!
    I have 5min22 of content, with a 5min13 song. However, there is over a minute of dead space hanging out at the end of the timeline viewer. I tried to hover the mouse over the right side of the clip viewer to find some kind of editing ability that would let me squeeze in on the content and get rid of that extra minute of dead space. Can't seem to find it, though...
    I'm TOTALLY missing something, right?!
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!

    Ah ha! Found what I was looking for by switching to the clip viewer-- an uninvited clip of 1min of BLACK.
    Clip deleted, user pleased.

  • Ipod Audio Error. Just need a quick answer...

    My ipod will not put sound out to the right channel on my headphones. I have tried different sets of headphones, so i know it is the ipod. Any idea what the issue is? I tried cleaning out the 3.5mm jack on the ipod with a q-tip and alcohol. Any other ideas?

    Hi,
    It is likely a hardware issue if doing the Restore does not solve the problem.
    Cleaning by inserting a q-tip is a bad idea, as it could damage the headphone jack further.
    Purly guessing, the metal part contact of the headphone jack, may some how widen the gap and the headphone's right channel jack losses tha contact with it.

  • HT5312 how do i just reset my security question answers if i dont have a back up  email can i just have it sent to the email i use for the account and why is the support showing me what to do but not leting me do im geting ****** off.

    how do i reset my security questions the support shows me how but wont let me why is this so difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on it - if you hadn't put one on your account (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I just need a quick poll here

    I'm debating to upgrading to 4.1.171 but 4.0.206 is so stable. Cisco asked me not to I guess due to bugs but to do some cool things like RFID (Aeroscout exciters, etc..)I will need to upgrade.
    What do you think?

    I would go with Cisco on this one :) Have a look at some recent threads (the word nightmare pops up a few times);

  • I don't know where else to ask this: Quick Question about Logic Platinum 6

    Hi everyone,
    This question actually pertains to a copy of Logic Platinum 6 I own but I don't know where else to ask it, so here I am in the Logic 8 forum.
    I haven't touched Logic in a year or maybe two, and I just installed it on my computer and after attempting to start it up with two different XS keys (I thought I lost one so I have a replacement and I forget which one is the active one) it says "no XS key found" to both of them.
    I want to upgrade to Logic 8 but in the mean time I can't even get Logic 6 to recognize my XS key.
    Please help me out if you have any information that would be beneficial or know where I could seek help!
    Thank you!
    Colin C.

    When you plugin them in, are they recognised in System Profiler? Try differnt ports, connecting them directly and not on a hub. Try on a different computer if necessary.
