Before making changes
Start with safe, useful checks
- Record the machine type and serial number before selecting drivers.
- Install normal Windows updates before changing Lenovo-specific drivers.
- Check cables, power delivery, and display input before updating dock firmware.
- Back up important data and connect AC power before BIOS updates.
Do not install a BIOS or firmware file unless the exact model matches, the manufacturer’s instructions are clear, important data is backed up, and stable power is available. Interrupting firmware installation can leave a device unable to start.
