    An Awful Purchase

    I have never regretted a purchase more. This laptop has been slow since the day I turned it on, but I figured it was at least useable. I bought it 6 months ago but at this point it takes roughly 10 minutes to start up and every program I use with video crashes. I can't skype. I can't zoom. Yes, I've uninstalled an reinstalled them several times (which takes a solid 30 minutes). There is so much Lenovo software preinstalled that I can't actually get anything done. Getting this computer was a complete waste of my time, energy, and money.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with 5G, 802.11AC frequency WiFi. This is 3x faster than the typical speed attributed to 802.11n. If you are experiencing slower than expected performance, 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

      We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS. It is possible that restoring the computer back to original factory settings may fix the issues you describe. Here is a link to instructions for resetting your Windows 10 laptop:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415. If you can not get to the Windows 10 Desktop to reset your computer, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the right side of the device, right near the headphone jack on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo
