Connecting USB devices
You can connect a USB device to your computer by inserting its USB plug
(Type A) into the USB port on your computer.
The first time you plug a USB device into a particular USB port on your
computer, Windows automatically installs a driver for that device. After the
driver has been installed, you can disconnect and reconnect the device
without performing any additional steps.
Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after it has been connected, and then installs
the driver automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver
before connecting. Check the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer
before connecting the device.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has
finished transferring data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows notification area to remove the device
before disconnecting.
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before
connecting it. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.
Note: For details, see “Combination of tablet and keyboard dock” on page 15.

Chapter 3. Recovery system
When I purchased my computer, it included a copy of Windows. How can I
determine whether the copy of Windows is preinstalled by Lenovo?
On the outside of the sales package of your computer, you should find a
label containing configur
ation information for your computer. Check the
printed string next to OS. If it contains Windows or WIN, the copy of
Windows was preinstalled by Lenovo.
What is the Recovery Partition?
If your computer is preinstalled with any ve
rsion of Windows 10, the
storage device of your computer contains a Recovery Partition. This
partition contains the image file of the preinstalled Windows operating
system. In cases of system failure, you can use the Lenovo OneKey
Recovery system or the Windows Reset feature to restore the operating
system to its factory status.
Note: The Recovery Partition is not assigned a drive letter and cannot be accessed through
Windows File Explorer.
I uninstalled a preinstalled software, but there is no significant increase in the
free drive space.
The copy of Windows running on your computer may be Compact
technology e
nabled. For computers with Compact technology enabled
Windows, the majority of files needed for preinstalled software are
installed on the Recovery Partition and won’t be deleted through normal
uninstallation.
What happens if I attempt to delete or modify the Recovery Partition?
