The only drivers and system software I installed manually were the following:

Windows Update also provided drivers for most system components.

Clean ISO files can be downloaded from Microsoft, but the process is not exactly straightforward ( description)Īfter the Windows installation I installed all available updates.

I got a BSOD with BUGCODE_USB3_DRIVER once), so use a USB2 port instead

Installing from a USB3 port may or may not work (e.g.

Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (may?) use different keys, so you have to try the other if one does not work.

I tried several things and learned the following: Long story short: I had to try it out and had to be prepared to supply my own product key. In some cases additional certificates have been added to the vendor images without which the BIOS key cannot be used. According to the rare information to be found on this topic a plain vanilla version of Windows may or may not accept that key. With Windows 8 the product key is not printed on a sticker on the device’s underside but stored in the BIOS instead.

The W540 came with Windows 8 Pro preinstalled, but I never use those bloatware-ridden vendor images. Performing a clean installation of Windows Rufus’ dialog now should look similar to this: Click the CD icon and select the ISO file.Use Rufus, it is better and faster than Microsoft’s Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.Boot order: main SSD from position 4 (below USB and DVD) to position 1 Creating an UEFI Bootable USB Drive from an ISO.Intel Anti-Theft Module Activation from enabled to disabled.

Intel Virtualization Technology from disabled to enabled.

use the 135 W when on the move and the 170 W with the docking station. Strangely enough, the docking station only comes with a 135 W power supply. When the W540 is ordered with a quad core CPU it is delivered with a 170 W power supply. Although Windows 8.1 still has some issues and not all applications are compatible yet it is worth it: the 2880×1620 resolution is amazing and the colors and the viewing angle are great.

These days full HD is only available as a TN panel – if you want something better you need to go the high DPI route. Never buy a TN panel! With my previous laptop, a Lenovo T520, I went for the best at the time, a full HD IPS panel and it was worth every penny. But you can work around that and manufacture the padding yourself: However, if you do not buy your drive from Lenovo – which you are unlikely to do unless you have money to spare and do not care about the quality of your SSDs – you will not get the little plastic “thingies” that keep the drive firmly in place in the adapter (which is really a very poor design choice by Lenovo). Fortunately that drive can be replaced with the Ultrabay Slim HD Bay Adapter IV which in turn can be equipped with any 2.5″ drive up to 9.5 mm in height. The W540 comes with a DVD drive, which is totally useless to me. Since the laptop can be equipped with two 2.5″ drives I went for that option instead (see below). The problem is that only really tiny SSDs of the 2242 (22 mm by 42 mm) form factor fit into the slot and those are scarce. Although that is not officially supported (Lenovo only supports 16 GB caching SSDs for magnetic hard drives which I am not exactly a big fan of), using a 128 GB M.2 SSD as a boot drive should work just fine. If you did not the slot remains empty and can be used for an M.2 SSD.

One hosts the WiFi adapter, the other the WWAN adapter if you ordered that. If you wonder what made me choose the W540: read this. Having made the switch from my trusty Lenovo T520 to the W540 here is my account of what works well and what does not.
