      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 40-seconds. If you are getting slower boot times, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo

    Reviewing the Open Box Item

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’m sure brand new this laptop would be fine, but I’m quite disappointed with the open box item. I shouldn’t have tried to save $15. For that I got more troubles than savings. The laptop was shipped to me without being wiped to allow a fresh install of windows. As such upon setup there were issues with Windows and now it cannot be activated because the account used to install it by Best Buy is of course different than my account. So now I have to return the laptop and buy a new one. Very frustrated to say the least. Especially during Covid-19 when I can’t just go into the store and try to exchange it or have someone fix the issue.
