Digital Download Recovery Service

Restore your device back to Lenovo's OEM base image


At time of purchase, Lenovo devices run their own version of Windows that includes proprietary software and drivers specific to your exact model type. A Windows clean install from Microsoft's website will not include these drivers. Should you have to reinstall the operating system, use this service to restore it back to Lenovo's factory defaults. If this isn't possible in your environment, you must at least include Lenovo Commercial Vantage as part of your custom image. Lenovo Support may deny servicing a device that is not running their OEM image.
