Windows 10: Lenovo T590 - WIndows 10 issues

Hi,I'm hoping someone can help me. I have recently received a Lenovo T590 laptop from my step dad who would like me to sell the laptop on so I could give the money to his grandad son. The problem is the computer is in German/Polish. Due to this reason I delayed the sale but have now just remembered and wanted to try sell it on anyway.The problem I have now is that I can't remember the password and I security questions aren't working. What makes it harder is that the computer is in German so Its hard for me to work out what it is talking about.Is there anyway I can try reset the computer or by

:)

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”

Lenovo Apps Enhance Windows 10 Experience
To give users consistent experiences across devices and operating systems, the preloads include a suite of Lenovo-written applications. The new Lenovo Companion 3.0 optimization tool keeps devices running at peak performance and can be used at any time to run a full-scale checkup and report back with specific actions to free up space and speed up the device. As a "smart" device control hub, the new Lenovo Settings lets users easily adapt and modify the way their device behaves. For example, when in tablet mode, the product will customize its display and other settings based on its orientation versus in traditional laptop mode. Alternatively, the device's usage will also alter its settings, for example when watching a movie versus reading an e-book. With SHAREit, customers can quickly transfer files between devices. For tablet users WRITEit takes the pen to a new level of functionality allowing users to write in any input field with their pen and the handwriting is converted to text.

As announced at Tech World in May, Lenovo and Microsoft have worked to integrate Cortana and REACHit, Lenovo's groundbreaking app that allows users who opt-in to search for and manage their content across multiple devices and cloud storage platforms. With REACHit, Cortana becomes even smarter and more personal, enabling users to find their content such as emails, photos and videos in ways they never thought possible. Cortana and REACHit gives users a seamless, intuitive way to search through natural language and contextual understanding.

"With Windows 10, computing gets more personal, productive and connected," said Tom Shell, senior vice president, PC Business Group, Lenovo. "Across our entire PC product line, from the office to the home, we've optimized our Lenovo devices to give customers a great computing experience while giving them enhanced search tools like Cortana with REACHit."

 

Sysprep windows10 v1909 on lenovo T590 or X1 carbon

Hello All,

I was needing some assistance and hoping I can get some input. I have a lenovo T590 and lenovo X1 carbon models. I have updated both models to windows 10 v.1909 as they had the previous v.1903. When I go to sysprep the machines I seem to be having trouble and not understanding what is going on. Once sysprep is complete then I capture the image and it finishes successfully. Once I image the laptop with my version of sysprep it doesn't seem to work correctly. I notice that it comes up with the screen as if just came from the factory setting it up for the first time. I was able to sysprep a Dell 5500 model with windows 10v.1909 with no issues at all it came up exactly how I had prepared it.

Also, I notice a few of the icons are missing from the desktop that I had made shortcuts. The start menu, one icon is missing from there as well as I had created my own startlayout.xml, but there is one icon missing. I have been banging my head as to why this is not working on a lenovo, but it worked just fine on a Dell laptop. I feel maybe there are some settings in BIOS that perhaps need to get shutoff or maybe I am missing something here. I take it since there is a difference in manufacturers that perhaps something needs to get set first before proceeding?

As I stated I sysprep a Dell 5500 model with windows 10v.1909 with no issues what so ever.
