Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Update (http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/) provides an excellent and convenient way to obtain Microsoft operating system updates and security patches, as well as, many original equipment manufacturers (OEM) hardware device drivers. We strongly recommend that you use Windows Update for Microsoft operating system updates and security patches.

Lenovo makes device drivers and device driver updates for Lenovo products available on the Lenovo Support and downloads Web site. We strongly recommend that you use the Lenovo's PC support Web site to obtain the latest BIOS, drivers, and software for Lenovo products.

Lenovo performs extensive testing on the content and device drivers that Lenovo provides to you. In some cases, Lenovo alters the original drivers so that they work properly with Lenovo computers. Device drivers and device driver updates obtained from non-Lenovo sources may also contain changes that Lenovo has not tested and verified for your Lenovo computer. Using device drivers and device driver updates from non-Lenovo sources might therefore cause unexpected results. This can be avoided if the software is obtained from the Lenovo Support and downloads Web site.
