Q: QuestionHow is the fan noiseHow is the fan noise the more information the better would truly be appreciated. I am hoping it is not too noticeable or noticeable at all as I hate fan noise. I am not a gamer but I like to have 4 to 5 windows open sometimes and listen to music on my headphone amp. I am sure that gamers would appreciate any info you have for them also.

Q: QuestionDOES THIS SanDisk - Ultra II 480GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive - Black COMPATIBLE TO INSTALL WITH MY iDEACENTRE 300S DESKTOP?

Asked 10 years ago by RAF.

• A:Answer Yes but you will need the installation disk from Lenovo. It's free and takes about 5days to ship if you call them. Another way to get it done which isn't that difficult is to remove the drive from the Lenovo and plug into a USB reader as well as the SSD on a separate computer(plug them in as externals.) next run Clone drive or other 3rd party software found free online. Your new SSD will then have a clone of the original drive and should boot right up! Good luck.

Q: QuestionHas Windows 10 been an Issue for Anyone?Has Windows 10 been an Issue for Anyone? I have heard that a ton of people have had issues with Windows 10 which has made me leery about buying a computer with Windows installed. Any information appreciated thank you

Asked 10 years ago by Bassman.

• A:Answer No issues at all. The computer is really nice. Like you I didn't want to go to Windows 10 and preferred to keep Windows 7. I decided to make the jump though since the price on this computer couldn't be beat. I'm glad I did. It's fairly intuitive and easy to setup. I now have profiles for all my family members to log in. I'm not using it to its' potential, or even close to its potential but I haven't had any problems with it either.
