There's no need for PCs to ship with media anymore. As long as you have access to any computer with internet, you can download and install Windows 10/11 installation media onto a USB thumb drive, directly from Microsoft. As long as your PC has had Windows installed and running at some point in its life (or comes from a mass producing manufacturer like this one does), there is no need to worry about licensing. As soon as the PC boots up for the first time, it registers itself and its hardware with Microsoft. So if you ever need to rebuild it from scratch (say you buy a new HD and want a clean install) as soon as the installation is finished and Windows logs in - Microsoft's servers will instantly recognize the signature of your PC and will re-activate the license. I have rebuilt dozens of Dells and HPs this way and never encountered an issue. I have no doubt it will be the same with Lenovo.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. You should create your own Windows Recovery Media as soon as possible after your initial setup.
