Unfortunately you can't *just* learn system administration from a Reddit discussion, but after you've had someone to clean up the machine, keep yourself from installing any software, and only install what you absolutely need, and never from sketchy websites claiming to magically speed up your computer: that almost always never happens.Ī PC user's worst enemy is themselves. If you're not a power user and don't know what I'm talking about, then you should ask for someone to clean up your PC, tell them your problems like "something is draining the battery" or "something is always running in the background heating up my PC" and he'll look into it. You should only install software which you know you need to use, and there is no built-in alternative, like for example MSI Afterburner is probably the most trusted overclocking utility, and works across brands, so there is nothing to worry about installing it. You don't need an antivirus, as Windows Defender is perfectly capable of handling anything. It has it's own disk management utilities built-in, you don't need a third party one. Windows, for what it is, has all the tools you need out of the box. Lenovo Photo Library (including lots of wallpapers) Mirror of Hardware Maintenance Manuals for discontinued models Lenovo Windows Digital Download Recovery Images Lenovo Parts Removal and Replacement Videos (select ThinkPad tab) Specification guides for discontinued models When reinstalling Windows, try the Lenovo disc images, as longer battery times have been reported, probably due to custom drivers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen. The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. Corporate bulk purchasers don't usually go for it. Not only will it have better brightness, colour, contrast and viewing angles - you will most probably more than make up the investment when selling it. When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much. When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated. For IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop enthusiasts.
