Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 Laptop. 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.

Fine basic laptop - probably not for gamers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basic laptop for basic uses like email, web surfing, light work. 4GB is barely enough for Win10. Comes with Windows 10 S, which allows ONLY install of apps from MS store. This can be switched to regular Home Win 10. Added 4 GB for a max of 8 GB memory, and this makes the laptop much more useable. An SSD will make it even easier to use. Screen quality is so-so.

Wonderful laptop

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good, inexpensive laptop for routine use - documents, email, but not a Power user device. Unlikely a Gamer would be happy w/it. I just ordered more Ram, hopefully will give it more horsepower.
