You can turn off sign-in under the "Sign-in Options". Depending on what version of Windows you have, there's a timer (1-15min) or Upon Restart option in the dropdown menu. But they all have a "Never" option in there too.
I purchased the same laptop last October except mine came with an Intel CPU. So far, it's been spot on with speed and no hiccups. I will be upgrading the NVMe drive and memory after the warranty wears out. Surprisingly, the warranty for LENOVO computers is very affordable than others. Good choice, Britec. I hope you get lots of good life out of it and enjoy it!
Ur lucky I don't like the AMD Version because there are some problems with the AMD Version, like with their TPM which cause stutters in windows 11. So annoying I wish I got the intel version and FYI if you get the intel version your laptop is Legion 5i and not the Legion 5 as Legion 5 is for AMD Models and the "i" come for intel model.
@@TypicalSamYT Mine as well that I just received today. Ryzen 7 and GTX 3070. I want all the in's/outs before I even fire it up. My MSI got stuck in manual boot mode after a microsoft update and I've finally gotten tired of doing it. I can't wait to see what this thing is going to look like, after using my msi with GTX 765m for the last 6 years XD Although, I got HUGE use out of this msi, so can't complain. It has served me well and was purchased used for $400 and isn't even slow by any means. This Legion 5 was a deal I couldn't pass up.
Hey Brian! Thanks for the informative video, but in my personal opinion Revo Uninstaller is abit shady in my experience of using it, so instead of that I would recommend an Open-Source Program like BCUnistaller its free, its clean, and its open-source; you can never go wrong with open-source programs! Thanks again for the video!
Step 1. Plug in the charger. Step 2. Wipe and reinstall Windows from a fresh USB image. Step 3. Install drivers and desired apps. Step 4. Drink a beverage and enjoy the new laptop. I don't even start the Windows install that comes with the machine, as it is invariably a frustrating experience.
As far as I can tell, Open Shell (formerly Classic Shell) still works with Windows 11. I'm still using it with Windows 10. The newest version is: OpenShellSetup_4_4_170. You can choose from three start menu looks, but my favorite is Windows 7. Oh, and did I mention it's free?
Excellent video Brian although in my opinion, the very first thing you should do when you get a new laptop is the software updates for the OS and THEN the bloatware and everything else you mentioned. Only reason i say that is because you 'may' have problems with the OS right out of the gate and if you don't address them first with a software update it will just keep happening.
@@KsjaksjaNakanAn on Windows, click on the Start button (looks like four windows), click the Settings icon, then on the left hand side of the screen, click on Windows Update, and then you should be in the Windows Update screen, and all you need to do is click on Check for Updates, and IF there is an update it will tell you, and it should start downloading automatically, and when it's finished, just click on Install and your computer should restart and install said updates. Don't know about Mac unfortunately.
And that stupid 'NEWS/Weather' icon that opens on 'hover'. Takes 2 seconds to disable or set to open on mouse click. Open on hover... what kind of crap is that...
The McAfee removal is a real pain in the butt. Even with revo there's still stuff of them on the laptop. At least mine, and this I tried to remove with revo pro!
Hello! I have the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX 3070 140w. I think you've mistakenly pointed out about that Turning on Hybrid Mode, actually it saves battery and uses the integrated GPU. As such, lower FPS and uses Freesync instead of GSync. Turning it off makes the High Performace GPU directly connect to the monitor and thus enables GSync.
Yeah, I just posted the same thing. He completely waffled the difference between Hybrid and Discrete mode. You never want to be on Hybrid unless you are at work with multiple monitors. Gamers will always need to be on Discrete mode to isolate the GPU as you have said. I was kinda mind blown when he was saying all that lol. He has no idea that he is not running his gaming laptops correct for gaming lol.
I never used a windows PC since I was 14 and now I'm 26 just bought a laptop. Man so much things have changed. Glad found your channel and hope to be on track
Nice one Brian, what I actually do is.. Disclaimer : Think before you do, do a proper research of your laptop brand. Tip : The best thing I do is I format the whole drive and do a fresh windows install myself. Did it on my HP laptop. No problems so far no manufacturer bloatware that always runs in background and finally debloating windows. Nice video Brian... Cheers
Same here. The first thing I did after I purchased by brand new ASUS ROG Strix G back in 2019 was perform a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro. After the initial setup all I had to do was download and install all the updates for the OS, apps and drivers, as well as declutter any pre-installed Windows apps that I don't use. Starting from a clean slate makes it much easier to deal with the computer in the long term, as it doesn't tend to misbehave nearly as much.
i just recently purchased a msi crosshair 15u and this video helped me remove everything i needed to remove. I honestly thing buying a "gaming" Laptop it should come bare bones for maximum performance...
Great vid. You always add a bit to stuff I ( thought that I ) already know. You're always worth a watch. BTW: We both have the same taste in laptops. Cheers !
Pay attention to what you are buying from Stardock. I use their Fences software. I decided to buy a package and thought I was buying one time licenses and discovered I'd bought a subscription. So I'll buy individual software next time. I have dropped a number of programs, like Acronis, because of the change to subscription only model.
You forgot to mention one important thing that you must do when buying a gaming laptop. If its msi, lenovo, Asus navigate to the dedicated software of the laptop and set limit battery charge to a lower percentage than 100%, that the software permits. This preservs the battery capacity to degrade over time when gaming and having your laptop plugged in. I was not able to find a similar software for acer laptops. Maybe someone could help me with the name of it. For msi it's dragon center, for Lenovo it's lenovo vantage, for Asus it's My asus. Acer... Idk.
First thing to do is uninstall bloatware, and immediately later do not forget to install chunky software! And yes, do not log using Microsoft's account, but give your data to elsewere.
Thank you so much. I just wished you had included N-GeForce Experience ( since including myself, and many others are not aware of this. You’ve done a excellent work.
Rather than removing the bloatware manually, I'd much rather reinstall the OS. 1. Install Windows 10 2. Update Windows 3. Run Chris Titus' script to disable telemetry and mouse acceleration 4. Disable animations 5. Run a windows debloater tool and uninstall other unnecessary software 6. Image with Clonezilla. 7. Install programs as normal. Step 1 ensures that I have a clean OS. I have encountered persistent programs that reinstall themselves (I'm looking at you Asus) after uninstalling. Regarding step 4, I heard that animations eat into your battery life, and I prefer having a snappier OS. Step 5 removes the usual junk that Microsoft installs. Step 6 ensures that if I ever had to reset my laptop, I will always have a backup to revert to.
I agree with pretty much everything and have been doing the same things for all the systems I'm maintaining (around 10). What I don't understand why people still bother installing third party antivirus and firewall. Windows Defender does a pretty decent job the last couple of years. And I ALWAYS install and use a Macrium Reflect.
i'm getting a new laptop today, do you really think windows defender is enough? I've heard mixed things. Is it more so depending on what you do? Also is a vpn very necessary or not so much also?
@@jackhammer3708 if you’re concerned about just relying on WD, like me, you may consider getting Malwarebytes. Apparently it has a setting which allows it to do its thing while also letting Windows Defender function at the same time. This is what I’m planning to do on my new laptop coming in today. I’ve heard generally good stuff about Sophos, though I don’t know how it works with Win Def.
I like to scan first, using a bootable antivirus. One laptop I bought 20 years ago from a dealer in Manchester was infected. I called them and told them. Looking back perhaps I could have done more, but I don't know what.
Just got my Win11 upgrade last night….5.5 hours to DL and Install 😢. Wow. But, I have to say I’m pleased so far with appearances, time will tell if it’s a good choice. And absolutely no problem with the upgrade, just the time to get it on my laptop. 👍🇨🇦
i use open shell (classic shell) and explore patcher for my start menu/taskbar since it brings back all of windows 10 features with a windows 7 looking start menu kinda like you have its all free
Thank you very kindly I did buy HP brand new laptop and I'm going to use the laptop for making money you know an internet somehow so thank you for the tutorial and the lecture we love you and God bless you all and God bless us all and God bless all your wonderful families from Richard dobby God bless
on the topic i would say the only thing you need to do with a new laptop is format, put a OS you like and that's it keeping stuff up to date is common sense now a days
Can you do a video, about OS Preinstalled vs Another OS you want have in a laptop or PC computer, Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro, or Windows 10 Home vs Ubuntu Studio, in other words, preinstalled OS on a new computer, has any advantage over the other OS you wanted instead, and you go and use the latter than the preinstalled OS…?
Apply good quality thermal paste. It has always been a priority for me as gaming laptops heat up so much , so that's the first thing I do after buying a laptop.
@@LuisRivas-yb1gqprobably best to wait outside the warenty then go for it because for the first few years the thermal paste will be fine in my experience
If you have a USB, that's fine, but it may take some time. Alternatively, if you have OneDrive, you can back everything up from your old laptop, and once it is done, you can sign in on the new laptop, and it should download everything for you
It's really better to make an installer disk with the media creation tool and do a fresh install of the machine. All that bloatware will leave residu on the system even after removing.
I also use SpyBot Anti-Beacon. Shuts down all telemetry. I am shutting down 520 different telemetry points with it. It reverses all Windows Update attempts to turn things back on automatically.
Thank you Mr. Britec for an informative video. I second a video reviewing this Lenovo laptop and another video advising how to choose a new laptop and what specifications to consider before buying a laptop.
Thank you so much for the walkthrough, I am just about the most computer illiterate person ever and been needing help to set up my new Legion. Quick question, I got the exact same laptop you did, is there any way to add RGB to it? I believe the trade off I made was to give up a bit of res and no RGB but backlit keyboard instead. I was bummed but everything else at this price point had way lesser specs.
MY first step is to either yank the HD and do a complete "Original system HD image" which I call a "Pre First-boot Backup". The purpose of this is to be sure that if I ever sell it in the future (it could happen!) I can restore the original OEM image, and give the next guy "That fresh out of the box experience." You could also just swap in a fresh HD/SSD, so you don't have to worry about them "restoring your files", or simply so that you still have any files you may have forgotten to back up before the OEM reset. Been doing that for a good 20-odd years now. I've used Macrium Reflect for this for years...boot from a USB stick, do the backup to an external HD, and you're covered.
You are the man Brian, you are so good to me without you knowing it... Love you man... Just got an Asus Vivo ook x515ea_f515ea and with your tips, did make lots differences... Taa 👍
Great video, altho I expected you to mention "make a backup ISO image of the window you get fresh with the laptop incase anything happens since its optimized for the hardware it comes with" or is that a false thing I know about?
Just bought a new laptop, and in the middle of following your instructions, I noticed backlight bleeding in the bottom right, it wasn't there before I even did the LCD test ! What to do now !
Great. Video I too like the windows 7 feel that you give on the tutorial. Don’t plan on gaming but do want to get a decent pc for multitasking. I’d have loads of screens open for sports / RUclips / word processing would you use a bigger monitor too for more work and visual space. Any suggestions on what minimum specs I’d need ?
My new Dell laptop comes with licensed McAfee protection last for a year, so it wasn't a trial or anything. It wasn't heavy or affecting the laptop performance, so by God I just let it be to get my money worth!
i still image up the OS partition after I have finished tuning - so I can revert to a known good state without having to reinstall and redo the steps after a misfortune, its better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it...
long time viewer, thank you for all the great information. Is there a simple way to identify bloatware to insure I done remove any necessary files or applications? Many thanks
not every laptop come with excessive amount of bloatware on them. i bought a Clevo based gaming laptop, and except for the bloatware like candy crush that comes from Microsoft. only other apps were clevo control center and few driver related apps like killer network and creative sound blaster apps. so it also helps if you avoid getting laptops from those big manufacturers, but with those i would probably just reinstall fresh copy of windows.
Cool man great video ! However , I’m still stuck on command 1 , uhh this is the first window type product I’ve owned ,so I’m going to need a shorter leash on the blow by blow , I only know IOS ,android,and chrome os ,Little Linux but not enough to brag about
I recently got the Lenovo Legion 5 ( Ryzen 5600H, RTX 3060, 17" screen). Soon after start using it, I noted that something was severly draining the battery while it was "turned off". The culprit was the mouse and keyboard wake up computer "feature". Turning both off amended the isue. I guess that this would affect any lenovo similar model. It Maybe be worthy to check it out.
@@nothman777 basically on Device Manager... look for keyboard and/or mouse... on the Power Management tab, just uncheck "allow this device to wake the computer.

Been doing that for a good 20-odd years now.
I've used Macrium Reflect for this for years...boot from a USB stick, do the backup to an external HD, and you're covered.
How to do this? Can you share some videos on it ? Sorry I an a bit of a luddite.
Quality content thank you
You are the man Brian, you are so good to me without you knowing it... Love you man... Just got an Asus Vivo ook x515ea_f515ea and with your tips, did make lots differences... Taa 👍
Great review what do you think of laptop coolers ?
Is there any need to run a hard drive check for bad sectors with a new laptop,,,,for any manufacturing/shipping/droppage damage?
Even if it wasn’t sitting in a box, but made to order they install the OS, test everything and shut down…no updates.
Great video, altho I expected you to mention "make a backup ISO image of the window you get fresh with the laptop incase anything happens since its optimized for the hardware it comes with" or is that a false thing I know about?
13:19 What are you referring to here, so I can do some research on it?
Thank you
Does Open-Shell work in Windows 11 to improve the start menu?
Just bought a new laptop, and in the middle of following your instructions, I noticed backlight bleeding in the bottom right, it wasn't there before I even did the LCD test !
What to do now !
You should do a full review on Start 11
Will do
Great. Video I too like the windows 7 feel that you give on the tutorial. Don’t plan on gaming but do want to get a decent pc for multitasking. I’d have loads of screens open for sports / RUclips / word processing would you use a bigger monitor too for more work and visual space.
Any suggestions on what minimum specs I’d need ?
My new Dell laptop comes with licensed McAfee protection last for a year, so it wasn't a trial or anything. It wasn't heavy or affecting the laptop performance, so by God I just let it be to get my money worth!
First step was missed, did you use a windows or microsoft login ?
Hey thanks for the video, how good is this laptop for a hardcore gamer?
Very good, RTX 3060 so it should be great. I do a review of it.
@@Britec09 legend, thank you
First thing i do is wipe windows and install either Arch Linux or Fedora Linux with with KDE Plasma !!
i still image up the OS partition after I have finished tuning - so I can revert to a known good state without having to reinstall and redo the steps after a misfortune, its better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it...
1st time to do is Format C:\ and re-install a clean windows
What defender did you say we should get ??
Nice video Brian !! Thank you mate !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you could review your L5 it would be Amazing.
Please make an updated version
long time viewer, thank you for all the great information.
Is there a simple way to identify bloatware to insure I done remove any necessary files or applications?
Many thanks
Thank u.
so we have to restart the laptop each time to properly use the MUX switch?
Chocolatey allows you to install more software than ninite, and allows app updates.
In removing McAfee is there anything else to replace it.
so hybrid mode is Mux switch? i didnt understand that i am new in thios gaming world
Thanks a lot
Do you have to update Invidia driver as well?
not every laptop come with excessive amount of bloatware on them.
i bought a Clevo based gaming laptop, and except for the bloatware like candy crush that comes from Microsoft.
only other apps were clevo control center and few driver related apps like killer network and creative sound blaster apps.
so it also helps if you avoid getting laptops from those big manufacturers, but with those i would probably just reinstall fresh copy of windows.
Cool man great video ! However , I’m still stuck on command 1 , uhh this is the first window type product I’ve owned ,so I’m going to need a shorter leash on the blow by blow , I only know IOS ,android,and chrome os ,Little Linux but not enough to brag about
tq im trying this im noob to laptop!
I recently got the Lenovo Legion 5 ( Ryzen 5600H, RTX 3060, 17" screen). Soon after start using it, I noted that something was severly draining the battery while it was "turned off". The culprit was the mouse and keyboard wake up computer "feature". Turning both off amended the isue. I guess that this would affect any lenovo similar model. It Maybe be worthy to check it out.
Hi im experience that too. Can you direct me to how to go to that features?
@@nothman777 basically on Device Manager... look for keyboard and/or mouse... on the Power Management tab, just uncheck "allow this device to wake the computer.
@@nothman777 you can check before and after which devices are allowed to wake up your computer running thi command on the CMD: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
