Even this does not prove 100% that the OS is genuine but It will certainly help show when the installation has been activated by means of a dodgy KMS server or KMSpico hack, 

If the OS has been activated by a MAK key or other key that was not intended for a home user, you would need specific knowledge to identify this.  Also, in some circumstances, depending on how the installation was done, it may show a generic product key.  

 

Also, there are crack methods that trick MS servers into accepting W10 as real when it is not.

 

No specific knowledge needed.

Thank you for your comment, SIR.

Was replying to your "Their consumer division still pushes out Chinese tat" in the new laptop thread

It does. 

It's generally agreed that the ThinkPads, formerly from IBM are their best products. I'm guessing that if they have any other good products, they are based on those principles.

With their consumer products, you'll be lucky to get any support for an endemic issue. You see it on their forums all the time. CPU throttled down because the case is to slim to allow adequate cooling? Tough luck, we are too busy churning out other tat to engineer a fix.

I actually have a new mid-range Lenovo laptop. I got it for free.

Is it ONLY the West that can do anything well?

Why are so many Western companies now depending on China?

This is obviously a face saving game, no doubt.

Look, hoe China managed the Corona.

They surrendered their manufacturing capabilities in order to make more profit.

Chinese became adept at reverse engineering and indulge in intellectual property theft. Want a high quality fake Rolex, you'll find them in China.

Face saving game? This is a thread about a new laptop.

And again:  I am 99% sure there is nothing wrong with your hardware, which is what we are discussing.  You are describing classic software symptoms, and malware behavior.  Let me know how much you want for the laptop.  I will have it running top speed ASAP!

It's not a laptop, it's an All In One Desktop. Keep up. ????

Actually, they might well be hardware-related.

 

Abrupt freezing can occur due to the OS attempting to read/write data within bad sectors on a HDD (especially older, mechanical HDDs)

This is exactly what happened with 2 old Acer laptops that I had - replaced existing HDD's with SSD's and everything was fine.

This is certainly possible. But unfortunately, with it being an AIO, the likelihood of the OP attempting a repair on his own is quite low. Shame to discard the thing so soon.

I won't force you to buy anything you don't want.

But you might find it interesting that almost all IT professionals recommend ThinkPads.

Because Lenovo, like many brands, have cheap consumer products and some have also professional products.

The ThinkPads (especially the T series) are very good in many ways. Great mechanical protection, great quality build, software support for many years even after the 3 year warranty is expired, ...

ThinkPads will always be my first choice for notebooks and if I had a 15k budget a 2nd hand ThinkPad would be my first choice.

But that of course is only IMHO.

To add to that...

Lenovo(Legend) was just an 'unknown' Chinese company with lots of money at their disposal. So they bought IBM in 2005 so as to get International recognition.

IBM were famous for their solid business devices.

So Lenovo still pushes out solid business devices based on IBM's principles. Their consumer division still pushes out Chinese tat.

Breaking News: The no-slowdown unlimited plans are back! If you currently have a plan with a cap, you'll have to order a new plan.

 

AIS also has unlimited speed plans available to post-paid customers. Next time I need a new phone, I might switch to post-paid.

 

Or just pay up to 2400 baht for unlimited 10 Mbps....

The point I was making is that seats in economy are smaller than in business whatever airline you fly.

Fortunately I don’t have to fly economy and regarding the Qatar staff have always found them excellent maybe it’s different at the front try it one day,

I've tried it. Didn't have any effect on their attempt to get me to pay a change fee for a flight booked minutes beforehand and their disgusting lies in an attempt to wriggle out of EU 261/2004. Lied about it being a medical emergency for a passenger, so therefore exempt. There was no such medical emergency. When the CAA asked for information, they didn't reply to them at all.

It's just a scummy company that has a lot of money thrown at it. But rotten to the core.

This is a confusing announcement: Russians did not have "Visa On Arrival" for the last ten years - they had visa exempt entrance for 30 days. 

Anybody can clear it up ?

That blunder is going to cost them and others dearly. Many Russians cancelled their trips because of the announcement.

What's the problem?

Not something that you can repair yourself?

"panic-buying hand sanitizer is slightly absurd — when all you need is water (and a little bit of soap)".

 

Don't take my word for it.

It's for when you don't have immediate access to water and soap..... Holding on to a handrail on a bus, for instance....

Here is what's on the receipt. Product Code. 192563889939.

Lenovo Desktop. AIO. 330-201GM-FOD7001MTA W. Hope this helps, and thanks.

Not much data available for the issue, though it's seems that you are not the only one.

I have had to have a bigger memory installed. It comes with Windows 10 but the capacity is too small to handle windows 10 and kept crashing / freezing even with nothing else open.

But we don't know if that solved the issue.

Late last year it started freezing up in all sorts of ways and the local computer shop fixed it, it was fine until now, I took it back, he said he fixed it again, but when I brought it home it was just as bad. I will never trust Lenovo again.

I don't remember being advised against it, but one poster, I think it was Jingthing, recommended it.

Let's take a look at the spec. Do you have the full model number at hand?

No need to fly anywhere or stay. Just cross an official land border and come back. 

Not if he wants a large screen laptop. No new 17.3" screens in his price range.

So he'll be dropping down considerably when it comes to screen size.

No one here listens anyway...

I'm sure that you were advised against an AIO prior to the time of purchase. 

What problems are you having with it?

I had to sue Qatar.

I changed my flight, they send me an acknowledgement by email, and when I tried to check in - no flight!

I had to pay British airways 400 pounds for a one way ticket to the UK.

I sued them for that and another 200 pounds for additional expenses.

I have never flown on them since.

I'd go as far as stating they are scum. Bought a ticket with them at the airport, accidentally chose the date 24 hours later. I went to the Qatar desk within five minutes of booking. Qatar customer service wanted me to pay a change fee, even though the flight prices were exactly the same...and they weren't cheap in the first place.

In a second case, they absolutely refuse to pay EU 261/2004 compensation for getting me in seven hours late. So I had to put a law firm on that case.

They are rubbish, all flash and no substance.

Errrrr no. From January 23rd (because I rang Oman themselves in Leeds) the lower classes of economy when online check in opens at 48 hours pre wheels up are now chargeable....I will emphasise again lowest classes of economy ticket. All seats are chargeable but if you wait till airport check in opens all seats left are then free.

Now if you had a work around fine but nonetheless they're chargeable at outset and flying back Muscat London 12 days ago thank christ I paid the 335 Baht for aisle as it was jammed packed solid flight

As an aside, they just cancelled my return flight for 'operational reasons'. So I extended my stay, changing the flight date to one convenient for me, with no extra charges
