Who/what certified Lenovo Product Expert as "expert???"

Is the i7 in this Legion Y530 the i7-8750H??? 

If so, then that CPU is hardware patched for Meltdown & Spectre #2 by Intel. (Spectre #1 still requires software mitigation.)

Decent bragging rights if 8750H. Wake up.

You will need to download the update, unless you have automatic Windows 10 update initiated on the device.
