no

normal hare
#

Ok, so its a gen 1

proud hare
#

it was working fine but i installed win 11 and it slowed to a halt

#

its okay ish now with a factory reset but i'd like to have more stuff on the laptop and have it work okay

normal hare
#

Wait, I read the lenovo site wrong. The gen 1 has a touchscreen, gen 2 doesnt

proud hare
#

I probably have a gen 2 then

#

i can try and get the specs for you if u want

normal hare
#

Yeah, that would help. Gen 2 has 48 gigs of ram and a core i7-1185G7

#

Should have both of those if its a gen 2

proud hare
#

way off LOL

#

this thing is far from a workstation

normal hare
#

You sure it doesnt have a touch screen?

#

Know what, nvm that

proud hare
#

im touching it right now and no lucj

#

its got a face scanner and a fingerprint scanner

normal hare
#

Lets get to what you made this post for

proud hare
#

yes

normal hare
#

So you upgraded it to windows 11 and it slowed down?

proud hare
#

yes, by a noticeable amount

#

im on holiday right now so i cant downgrade it with installation media

#

but i plan to do that when i return

normal hare
#

Yeah, thats what I was gonna suggest first, is get windows 10 back on it

#

Wait, you have the laptop on you rn, right?

proud hare
#

yes im typing on it currently

normal hare
#

You dont need a usb drive if its just going to be going onto this laptop

proud hare
#

do you not?

normal hare
#

Nope

proud hare
#

i thought you needed to boot into a usb to install windows

normal hare
#

The media creation tool will also install windows onto the computer its installed on if you tell it to

proud hare
#

really?

normal hare
#

yeah

proud hare
#

how can i do that?

normal hare
#

Install the media creation tool

#

then when it comes up, there should be a option to "install windows 10 on this computer" or something like that

proud hare
#

this one?

normal hare
#

yes

#

it should carry the license back over to 10

proud hare
#

do i lose all my data if i do this

normal hare
proud hare
#

thats fine i literally factory resetted this yesterday

#

i've got no data to lose

normal hare
#

Pretty sure you lose all your data either way anyway

proud hare
#

just trying now

normal hare
#

k

proud hare
#

if/when i get it back to windows 10 what further steps cna i take to debloat/optimise?

normal hare
proud hare
#

so i can just do this?

normal hare
#

Yeah

proud hare
#

awesome, thanks br i didnt know i could do that

normal hare
#

You're welcome!

proud hare
#

so

#

how can i remove the lenovo stuff?

#

its not that much honestly, its just a driver for the fingerprint sensor which is pretty importnat

#

and is ethere anything else i can do? like a s cript or something that changes settings

normal hare
#

Really? My friend has a legion laptop and it had a crapton of lenovo preinstalled stuff

normal hare
#

Then again, I mainly deal with desktop PCs

#

If I had to guess, your laptop probably is barely scraping the bare minimum specs to run 11

proud hare
#

most likely

#

i kinda just wanted to try it without messing up my main computer lmao

normal hare
#

I tried it and hated it, so I had went back to 10

#

Will probably use 10 even after they discontinue support for it

proud hare
#

yeah

#

what about that chris titus thing i keep hearing about

normal hare
proud hare
#

okay thats fine

#

well thank you for your help

normal hare
#

You're welcome! I would keep this open just in case it does the same thing on 10
