FAQ's
Q: Its asking for a Product Key.
A: With newer computers, the product key should be pulled from the motherboard automatically during install. However, if this does not happen, you will need to enter it manually. Go to your File Explorer. Then, right click on This PC and select Properties. You should see there if Windows is activated and also where to click to enter the product key. The product key should be on a sticker under the computer or under the battery for laptops.
Q: What key are you hitting?
A: F12 for most Lenovos but some models will use different keys so try others if needed.

IT WORKED!!! I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm never gonna look anywhere else for answers about computers from now on. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 (I solved the bootloot issue and have been able to reinstall windows 10, I plan on fully updating the PC and downloading Windows 11 - not necessarily in that order, I'll watch the tutorial! - but I'm just so relieved this pc is finally turning on).
Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!
Jamin, your knowledge of computers/electronics is outstanding to say the least. 😊Thank you for sharing.

hey J!! first of thanks a lot for the video!! it is really helpful... secondly, how long does it take for the whole installation process?
Happy to help :) Depending on the computer, it could be 30mins to an hour sometimes.
i follwed the steps and when i have to chose unallocated space it doesnt recognize anything so i have no option to chose even after a manual scan, any idea why? thanks in advance!
Hi, maybe I didn't word it correctly. Do I have to purchase a preinstalled Windows 10 USB port flash drive in order to install windows instead of a blank USB flash drive to back up my files?
Jamin: Thanks for these videos . Question - I got to 2:35 in this video, chose the USB option on the Boot Menu screen, but then the screen went right back to the restart loop/updating error. There was no Windows screen, etc. What does this mean? Thanks!
I have the same question too. What does it mean?
My Lenovo is stuck in a boot loop. I've tried updating the date and time and switching from UEFI to Legacy, and the Lenovo diagnostics come back clean so I don't hink it's a hard drive issue. The computer was working just fine before this happened. I created a Windows 10 install media on a USB following one of your other videos, but here when I select "upgrade" (I want to keep my files), I get a "compatibility report." It says, "The upgrade option isn't available if you start your computer using Windows installation media. If a copy of Windows is already installed on this computer and you want to upgrade, remove the installation media and restart your computer. After Windows has started normally, insert the installation media and run Windows Setup." But I can't start Windows normally, so what do I do?
Thats telling you that the 'Keep Files' option is not available. The OS is too messed up. So you will have to install new and erase everything, or take the computer to a repair shop to have them try and get your DATA off before you can install Windows new if you dont want to lose anything :(
I have an old Idea pad which got so slow that I decided to try a factory reboot to get rid of all the bugs it may have gathered over the years. I could not get it to start back up after the reboot. Following your directions for upgrading to windows 10 and everything went smooth until the screen "Where do you want to install Windows? The list shows a single line (as opposed to multiple partitions) with 0 MB total size and 0 MB free space. Active links include "refresh" which does not lead anywhere, and "load driver" which asks me to install device driver, which I do not have. I went to the Lenovo support site but was not able to locate anything helpful. Any suggestions would be appreciated, but at this point it appears my laptop is at "end of its life." Regardless of whether you can offer any advice, thank you for this very helpful channel. Now that I have found your channel, I'm sure I will find lots of useful information!
1. Are you able to run the Lenovo diagnostic scan as seen here? ruclips.net/video/oL1R1Tw0jSo/видео.html
2. If the reset failed, then the OS would most likely have to be reinstalled. If you are seeing 0 free space, you may be looking at a bad HDD. It may need to be replaced.
Can somebody help me, I have a ThinkPad Edge E430 and whenever I open files it doesn't open them, sometimes it takes me to the terminal then closes it instantly, I don't have windows yet, I have Linux mint. Please reply soon.
Man, I’m on “where do you want to install windows tab” and no drives are present. I’ve swapped out the m.2 ssd. Still nothing showing up
Hey, Jamin.
The f12 is not working on my laptop. Please help
My lenovo laptop is under infinte restart loop. Then i saw your video. I’ve done all initial steps that you’ve shown in that video but that didn’t work. Then you told to install windows. Currently my laptop is windows 11. Can i install windows 10 instead of windows 11
1. Yes :) You should be able to install Win10 on any Win11 computer :)
2. Does your Lenovo have diagnostic ability as seen here? ruclips.net/video/oL1R1Tw0jSo/видео.html
If so, you can run that scan to make sure the HDD is healthy before trying to install Windows
Is there a way without doing the usb, and tapping on the f12 screen? Can I do it just from my computer?
If it needs a recovery or install USB, then you need one. If it does not ask for one, you may not need it
So I just got a new sad drive and this is what I provably have to do
According to you what will be best performing windows 10 version for a old laptop? lenovo z50-70 i5
What HDD, RAM, and CPU specs do you have? Also, what operating system was on that computer originally?
@@PC_Monkey i have 1TB HDD,12GB RAM,1.70ghz upto 2.4 ghz i5, nvidia 840m
previously i had windows 10 but it stopped updating after 1903 and was lagging alot so i upgraded to win11 using some shortcuts but it's lagging more so i want to roll back
@@PC_Monkey i5-4210U @1.70Ghz 2.40Ghz
@@akshaykumar3961 Yes, then going back to Win10 would be best. If you install Win10 as seen here, it will install whatever version your computer is already licensed for.
I did everything like in the video but after I select to keep files a window pops up with a compatability report. Says the upgrade midia option isn't available if you start your computer using windows installation media.
What do I do now?
Was your Lenovo computer working well before this attempted install? If not, what was happening?
@PC_Monkey It was working well I let battery die when I plugged it back it to boot up again it installed some updates and got stuck rebooting.

my Lenovo E40-70 laptop is stuck on Lenovo logo. I tried installing windows using bootable USB, but it is not working. Neither I'm able to find the reset menu. Can you please guide me what I should do next?
1. Are you able to try any of the steps seen here? ruclips.net/video/oL1R1Tw0jSo/видео.html
2. Also, did anything happen before this? Overheating, liquid spill, physical damage, Windows update, etc?
Hello. I'm hoping you wouldn't mind helping me, I'm having a really difficult time putting a clean install of windows 10 on my Lenovo 130s IdeaPad.. my laptop started bluescreening last week stating an SdBus Internal error.. I tried troubleshooting it for days and nothing worked to fix it and I can't roll back.. I have tried numerous times to make a bootable USB and can't get it to install windows beyond a certain point it wont complete and no matter what I try , deleting partitions or formatting, nothing affects the drive and the bad install remains. Help :)! Thanks if you can
I may have to buy your USB but maybe you can tell me if my bios is set up correctly
1. Sounds like you created the USB yourself on another computer. Correct? It created without an issue?
2. Are you able to try these troubleshooting steps on your Lenovo? ruclips.net/video/Q0UqVVcKuM8/видео.html. Were you able to run the diagnostic scan?
I have a Lenovo think pad flex f12 is not working for me my computer just turns on as normal
What operating system do you have now? Your trying to upgrade to Windows 10, correct?
Hey it's me again
I couldn't fix my PC with the previous videos so I decided to reinstall Windows and everything was going fine but now on 4:48 it seems like it's on a bucle
The Lenovo logo appears with the loading simbol but after that appear a black screen showing data and then the Lenovo logo again
What was the previous issue with your Lenovo? Was it turning on and working fine before this attempted install? If not, what was happening?
@@PC_Monkey
No, I had the "inaccesible boot" error so I tried to fix it by going into bios and all that but it didn't work so I decided to re install windows but now I'm into de bucle that I just told you :(
@@Eme_Lopez 1. Does your Lenovo have diagnostic software as seen here? ruclips.net/video/oL1R1Tw0jSo/видео.html
2. If the diagnostic test showed your Hard Drive to be healthy, or if you were unable to run the diagnostic test, your next step would be to try an install Windows.

If the install fails, and you were unable to run the diagnostic test, perhaps your Hard Drive is bad. It should then be replaced.
Would this work if I do it after I upgrade the ssd to my new Lenovo ideapad gaming 3?
Yes :)
@@PC_Monkeyafter putting my laptop back together and doing the f12 strat my computer is just black.
@@yungboitj Nothing shows on the screen at all? If the screen is black, what are the signs that the computer is on? Lights, Fan, Motherboard or Hard Drive sounds?
Will the option to save some files also include 3rd party software or will this also be deleted for the new OS install? Thanks! =)
Most likely 3rd party software and apps will be deleted.
@@PC_MonkeyI got to the Windows setup prompt and I see a "Drive 0 allocated space 3.9 GB total and free space". My options below this are to refresh and load driver. The delete, extend and format options are disabled. The new option is enabled but I encounter an unable to create partition error (0x8007045d) error when trying to change size with a default max given of 3950 MB. Upon arriving at this prompt there was a warning ⚠️ waiting stating the partition is too small and that a size of at least 10706 MB is required. This is on the Lenovo ideacentre pc (with hardware built-in to monitor). What now? Thanks! =)
@@PC_Monkey Question: will any Windows install from the available list on bootable media be installed including an upgrade to the originally installed OS on the PC, and without a product key upon completion of install or, would I have to select the original OS to reinstall? Thanks! =)
@@user-lh5lt7kn2q If I understand your question correctly, it would have to be the same version of Windows. If you had Windows Home, you would have to install that version. You would not be able to install Windows Pro.
@@PC_Monkey And will a product key be required for normal usage of the OS? Thanks! =)
Will installing windows 10 using a flash drive delete my already existing files inside my PC?
Depends on how you do it. You can choose the options to erase everything and delete the partitions or you can save the partitions and choose the option to save the files.
what to i do if usb doesnt show up, i have enabled usb boot already
Was your Lenovo turning on and working well before this attempted install?
I reinstalled windows, didn't change any part, it was activated before, but why is it asking for the product key again?
With newer computers, the product key should be pulled from the motherboard automatically during install. However, if this does not happen, you will need to enter it manually. Go to your File Explorer. Then, right click on This PC and select Properties. You should see there if Windows is activated and also where to click to enter the product key. The product key should be on a sticker under the computer or under the battery for laptops.

Please, do I have remove the previous corrupted windows 10 before installing the new one? And how do I remove it and start from scratch?
No, you dont need to uninstall a previous operating system in order to install a new one. You can see how to install Windows 10 onto a Lenovo computer. Is that what your trying to do? Have you tried the steps seen here yet?
@@PC_Monkey- I have windows 10 on my computer, but it's either corrupted or has a virus that I can't get rid of, so I'm thinking maybe putting a differant windows on it will help some how. I already downloaded the windows application to my USB.

Hi, yesterday I installed Windows 10, however today I get a Windows message which says "Go to setting to activate Windows. What should I do know?
If the install process did not pull the Windows Product COA directly from the motherboard as is done in most newer computers, you will have to enter it in manually. Do you have the COA in paperwork with the computer or on a sticker on the back or underside of the computer? If not, you will have to purchase it.
Windows came with my laptop pre installed, so what's going to happen in that case?
@@IshmaelKhauheloMatabane-cb8rm If you just installed Windows new onto the computer then its needs to be activated or wont be updated and may not have key functions in time. This is not affected by your computer coming preinstalled with any version of Windows.
Hi, I like your video. Do I have to have a USB port to install Windows 10 on Lenovo?
Most computers today prefer to install with a USB. If your computer does not have one, you may have to use another option. What model Lenovo do you have that does not have a USB port?
