Installing a new operating system

If you install a new operating system in your computer, you need to install the supplement files and ThinkPad device drivers for it at the same time. For more information, see “Installing device drivers” on page 66.

Notes:

•The UEFI BIOS features are supported only on the 64-bit version of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating system.
