Additional Information for Windows 8/8.1
1.Compatibility mode
You can install webcam, card reader, fingerprint, Bluetooth, youcam, touchpad and fingerprint using your original windows 7 driver. All you need to do is right click at the driver file and select properties. Then select compatibility - run this program in compatibility mode for - select "windows 7" from the list.
2. Intel HD Graphic : This model use either Intel or Nvidia graphic, the good news Nvidia released support for windows 8 and 8.1, while Intel did not (for Intel HD 1st generation). That is why you need to install either in compatibility mode or use the MOD driver develop by users like you (non-profit individual).
Drivers for windows 8?,
Lenovo only release for windows XP and 7, so where did i get the windows 8 drivers?
I download each and every single drivers, look at the information, download available version for windows 8 and compare. I did some research with compatibility issue, look at newest vendor and part site for any update for windows 8, it takes about 2 days to complete the list. So i hope if there any comment or feedback to improvise do let me know by leaving your comments below. Thanks. Base on my experience, windows 8 will installed most of the drivers, so you just need to check which driver you need and install them It is not necessary to install all driver if you know which functionality is missing such as audio or networking.
