Lenovo announced it will begin shipping a wide selection of products preloaded with Windows 10 starting immediately. Lenovo has worked with Microsoft Corp. to make the process of upgrading simple, for people with qualified Lenovo PC running Windows 7 SP1 or 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10.  Starting on July 29, the updates will roll out. If you reserved your copy of Windows 10, you will be notified and Windows 10 will be downloaded on your system. Lenovo has an extensive list of products eligible for this upgrade including popular models like the YOGA 3 Pro and YOGA 500.

Exclusive Lenovo Apps Enhance Windows 10 Experience

To give users consistent experiences across devices and operating systems, the preloads include a suite of Lenovo applications. The new Lenovo Companion 3.0 optimization tool keeps devices running at peak performance and can be used at any time to run a full-scale checkup and report back with specific actions to free up space and speed up the device. Companion also provides exclusive Lenovo content to help people get the most out of their PC. Lenovo experts author how-to articles, tips and tricks, and other news to keep users up to date on their PC.

As a “smart” device control hub, the new Lenovo Settings lets users easily adapt and modify the way their device behaves. Settings also showcases a robust “Power” section, which offers customization unique to Lenovo, such as a “Battery Stretch Mode” and “Charge Mode”, which lets users super-charge their battery replenishment.

With SHAREit, customers can quickly transfer files between devices. For tablet users WRITEit takes the pen to a new level of functionality allowing users to write in any input field with their pen and the handwriting is converted to text.

As announced at Tech World in May, Lenovo and Microsoft have worked to integrate Cortana and REACHit, Lenovo’s groundbreaking app that allows users who opt-in to search for and manage their content across multiple devices and cloud storage platforms. With REACHit, Cortana becomes even smarter and more personal, enabling users to find their content such as emails, photos and videos. Cortana and REACHit gives users a seamless, intuitive way to search through natural language and contextual understanding.

This functionality will be available in beta to Lenovo users starting in the fall. Users who prefer to wait will have their current version of REACHit automatically upgraded when it becomes generally available later in the year.

Lenovo Companion and Lenovo Settings, both Lenovo-developed applications will come standard on Lenovo PCs preloaded with Windows 10. These two apps have over 10 million users combined worldwide.
