HDD Swap For The GF

Another installment of the ongoing battle for switching the GF's Lenovo N585 from Windows 10 to Windows 7.
(Link 1 & Link 2).
Last Sunday, I had to install the old HDD (the one with Windows 10) on the lappie, so the GF can take out a couple of files that got left behind...

OS Update For The GF

Well, she isn't Cherry 2000, so, actually the OS update it is for her laptops...
Taken last Sunday afternoon...
Side by side, both of the GF lappies, getting an OS update/ refreshment.
On the left, the T410, jumping from Linux Mint 17 (Cinnamon) to Ubuntu 16.04 (plain vanilla Unity).
On the right, the Lenovo N585, going from Window 10 to Windows 7, it looks like Windows 10 was way too much for the lappie. or maybe it was because she did an upgrade from Windows 8 (which already was a bit slow) to Windows 10.

Upgrades During The Weekend

Took last Sunday to make some changes on the GF lappies.
Her Windows lappie, the Lenovo N585) was dog slow, so I pulled the HDD out, slapped another one I had around the house, and loaded a brand spanking new Windows 7 onto it.
Also, took the T410 and replaced the Linux Mint 17 install with a brand spanking new of Xenail, wiht Unity!
She loved it the interface, go figure, and the Desktop Environment choice of colors, go figure...
Also, of course, she loves the fact that now can use the Jam Trance Mini bluetooth speakers with the lappie.
Installing and setting up the Linux lappie was a breezy, ITOH, the Windows...
MF, what a drag! It took hours and more hours and more hours to setup, install updates, get shit done... Not to mention countless effing reboots...
Anyways, anything for the GF!

Linux Mint 17 on the Lenovo N585

During the weekend installed Linux Mint (Cinnamon 64 bits) on the GF's lappie a Lenovo N585 with 6 GB of RAM... Windows wwas giving her ea lot of headaches lately, so, why not have another Linux converse in the world?
Being a Lenovo, it wasn't pretty hard, just about everything worked out of the box, the way it should.
Only thing was, after the installation -I made that booting from a USB- it refused to boot, belching an error about boot manager.
The problem: UEFI, the solution: boot onto the BIOS (press the F2 key upon booting), and disable that, by setting the Boot Mode onto Legacy Support.
