Lenovo G500 driver support


Hi,
I have Lenovo G500, and I would like to do clean installation of Windows 10 (I prefer so rather than upgrade)
According to this thread in Lenovo:
Lenovo G500 WIndows 10 drivers - Lenovo Community
This laptop may have issues with Windows 10 and I don't know how to resolve them or
whether they're still relevant.
Thanks for anyone who may help

Dolby Advanced Audio error at startup on Lenovo G500 laptop.

I have a Lenovo G500 laptop & recently downloaded Windows 10, which is functional, except for the Dolby Advanced Audio error at startup. However, a tech told me today that my Lenovo G500 is not eligible
for Windows 10. So, I don't know if I need to go back to Windows 8 or what or how? I think my current sound driver is Conexant SmartAudio HD. If I follow the steps you mention above, & uninstall it then try to install the Dolby, where do I find the Dolby
online? When I contacted Lenovo, they said to call Microsoft, who told me to call Lenovo. I need someone to give me some real info.
