    Hi,I have a Lenovo X1 Gen.7 20QD, that originally came with windows 10 Pro installed.A month ago it crashed and I had to restore Windows by using an external installation media USB drive that I downloaded and created using another computer The restore installation media installed Windows 10 Home on my Lenovo X1.My computer has a digital license key, which I assume was for Windows 10 Pro, but it let me install and activate Windows 10 Home. As far as I can tell 10 Home is fully activated and licensed.I need to have Bitlocker on my computer, but it is not part of 10 Home.Will my digital licens

  2. Lenovo X1 Windows 10 Pro - Activation issue

    Hello all!

    I have purchased a Lenovo X1 with a pre-installed Win 8.1. Then I have upgraded to Win 10 Pro, and after a while, I have started to receive alerts that the activation is about to expire... What is to be done to get away from that, taking into account a pre-installed (purchased)
    version Windows.

    How to remove Win 7 Enterprise and install Windows 10 Pro for Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Generation Intel Core i7

    I got a Lenovo x1 Carbon from a friend. How do I remove Win 7 Enterprise and install Windows 10 Pro for Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Generation Intel Core i7? I know I missed the Jan 14 2020 upgrade deadline.

    What are the procedures that I should do? I do not have much computer OS installation/removal experience.

    Assuming all the data in this Lenovo X 1 Carbon can be erased.

    Thank you.
