Lenovo - Windows 7 Enhanced Experience
 
Run Windows® 7 to its true potential
Lenovo worked closely with Microsoft during the development of Windows 7 to engineer PCs that enable users get the most out of the new operating system. This partnership resulted in the Lenovo Enhanced Experience certification for Windows® 7 PCs.

This exclusive certification identifies Lenovo PCs that are unmatched in functionality; computers that deliver faster start-up and connection times plus more entertainment and business features than ever before.

Request Your Upgrade to Windows®
7

Upgrading to Windows® 7 Professional helps SMBs get more done. And when it comes to these customers, productivity, mobility and reliability are critical. The faster, more nimble OS starts up, resumes and shuts down quicker and more reliably than previous versions. It also uses less power, which helps extend battery life and mobility. The cleaner, simplistic interface speeds up time spent navigating the desktop to find their data. Windows® 7 also makes it easy for your customers to get to their information, regardless of where it’s stored. That means users can stay productive when on the road or working at remote locations. And with the Direct Access feature, SMBs that are a domain managed client can eliminate using a VPN for an experience as seamless as in the office.

Qualifying Lenovo PCs purchased between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010 are eligible for upgrades to Windows® 7. Selection of Windows® 7 upgrades are based on the licensed Windows Vista® version specified in the following table:   

 Windows® Vista Purchased   Upgrade to Windows® 7
