A big thank you! This video is exactly what I needed to decide to buy one or not. The one I buy with the A9 CPU has a 128Gb SSD, so probably the NVME or SATA slots are enabled on that one. So maybe it is better upgradeable. Anyway, I hope, because I have not received it yet. :-) Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
Glad I could help! thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel :) if you ever have any request or question feel free to ask me in any of my video comments. if you get a bit the advanced version you may get the extra components unlocked :P its all about the DLC :P
@@supplychain2831 you will need to desolder that emmc chip and get a emmc chip reader, its delicate and alot of work, solderign experience and hot station required.

I bought the Ideapad 1 14ADA05 which has the AMD 3050E chip. It's a decent no frills PC for light use. Thanks for posting this as I did wonder if I should open it up to look inside.
Glad I could help! ya for basic use its okaay :) Thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel, if there is anything else i could help you in the future ask me in any of my video comments. good luck :P
Thanks for making this video. When I didn't see this laptop model available on a website for upgrades, it got me curious. I'm so glad someone did a video on this. Super angry, but that's what I get for being cheap. next time...
Glad I could help! thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P Regarding your purchase as you said next time before buying write down the exact full model and ask me or look for motherboard on google and you will get a better idea for what you jumping in for, 90% of the laptops out there are trap holes :P

in Canada i took this laptop to a shop and asked them to install m.2 jack, the guy told me that i should not do this. but i insisted and got it installed and it doesn't work!!! money wasted :( but he did charge me $98CAD and installed a 256gb emmc and i had to install windows and its working like a charm.
me too... I took this laptop to a tech store in New Zealand during vacation and because I was running out of space and needed more storage I asked the guy to install the m.2 jack so that I could have more storage... he also suggested me not to do this and my dumb self insisted and was charged 50$... 2 weeks later the process was finally done and I come to pick up the laptop and went back to the UK to my hometown and I decide to try if it actually works and of course the bios does not detect the SSD. money wasted :(
i know my friend you should of seen the long discussion that i had with an idiot here in the morning saying 1st of all 256gb emmc dont exist lol bit.ly/3jj2j1z and that some guy made a video on you tube that he installed the m.2, but in the video he never dared to show or post a video even months later showing it working. there are many other factors that come in play after installing the m.2 jack: power regulators components, bios firmware and mods, and voltage regulators must be adjusted. i do this for living and i repair motherboard and more. the only option is to replace the emmc storage to a 256gb and you are all set, and even that requires a good technician that know how to do reballing. i have increased this laptops storage to 128gb and 256gb emmc and they work great. i dont make the video because i dont want people to try and by accident destroy. in my videos i try to keep it in safe side for users.
thank you for the feedback and your support and yes its a sad information for those that have this laptop, if there is anything you need help with feel free to ask out.
Thanks on this video. I got a look at it without having to pop my one open. Regarding upgrades for anyone willing to pull this off, if you are running an OS such as True NAS that doesn't even support Wi-Fi you could theoretically just take the WIFI card out, put a hole in the back cover, and connect an EGPU via a riser card. Or if you have the need you could just get one of those USB Wi-Fi adapters and call it done. I do wonder what version of PCIe the Wi-Fi card is connected through and how many lanes it has... If you guys are dissecting yours could you please check this and comment it really quickly, Thanks.
🫠Regarding your question, do not place a egpu on that m.2 lane it is buttle necked and it will not give you a good results. we have tested with egpu on this models and all i can say it is a disappointment.
Gracias por la info precisamente mañana iba a comprar una pero estaba indeciso por los 64gb y pense alomejor se le puede poner algun ssd o una m2 abriendola pero despues de ver tu video me desanimé al ver que no se puede y alomejor hay alguna otra manera pero mis conocimientos no son tan avanzados en fin mil gracias amigo te ganaste un nuevo suscriptor.

Do you have any recommendations that are very cheap but better? I like the looks of this. I can do basic upgrades myself. But if you can’t upgrade the ram and there’s no fan….no use. I can live with 64gb flash memory. My 7 year old Acer works well but the ports and other stuff are wearing out. I know I don’t need much if that can satisfy.

thanks for this. I have an earlier 110s 11.6inch laptop that is easily expandable using an m2 slot. I need a small compact machine i can whip out anywhere and that 'fitted the bill' with a modest m2 ssd card in . . these days however even for limited office tasks the in stalled 2GB ram is not enough, and the processor is too old and slow. again even for very limited tasks. so i guess after seeing this, Lenovo have cut off this upgrade path to try to get us to change our machines more often !
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P It is true that lenovo and most other if not all brands are shifting from the idea of making a good laptop LAST and also UPGRADABLE. its not in their benefit to do this anymore its the war of reselling that is happening. its like your Iphone, they put a 16gb , 32gb and so on storage and that is not upgradable or add extra storage because they dont like it, they want to milk the cow as much as possible. same here in laptops, they adding they tablet specs of components and a attached keyboard and trackpad and change the name from portable TABLET to a portable laptop. and its sad that they dont present this info on the box , so the consumers clearly understand what they are buying. on weakly basis i get about 40-50 clients coming in thinking that they can upgrade the resent purchase of the laptop that they got cheap. because even the sales reps tell them "oh ya get this and upgrade later" BS they don't even are oriented to know what a garbage they pushing to a consumers.
@@uFixTek so basically we are in the middle of a climate crisis where many items are in short supply and rather than giving us the option to extend the useful lifespan of our current products, manufacturers try to actively hinder us ! Capitalism and consumerism gone mad. same with cars etc.
i know this may sound a bit off topic, but the world is divided and we as consumers have no right in any major effects, we are the slaves of our society ( governments and big companies), we get paid and the money we have its not even ours (at least not 100%). im not pointing fingers or anything, just think about this: this pandemic started in china and the price of electronics and house fitness and face mask went to 800%, and when the pandemic started spreading to other countries china started recovering and going back to normal, and who you guess is making all those electronics , face mask and much more and selling them at 800%+. i'm just saying, they could start helping other countries for the same price or less and humanity can be back to normal. this topic can be talked about for days. im living at the moment in the Mexico and its so sad that i see the low class families can't afford any sort of laptops and they using old A**SS cellphones tablets for their kids to do home school. and even if the little money that they get they end up pushed to purchase this low grade "laptops" . i provide free service as much as i can for those families here for 2years now and its sad that every other electronic shops are taking advantage and ripping the poor people. i have donated over 200laptops and tablets to so many people in need and making videos for helping others to not get ripped. for past 2years every single penny i made from little viewers i have here i helped families in need. you don't see me making videos helping people, because they have rights to be anonymous. it gets be mad and angry when i see this other channels with millions of subs and viewers and making videos of how they are feeding the poor people and show their reaction so they can make 3x money. if he or she wanted to help poor people no need to label every poor individuals. like churches, they make food for poor people and they ask them to go there 1pm-3pm and eat a portion, i do that to my dog!! if the church wanted to really help the poor then STFU and take the food to the people and don't brag about it. but they need MONEY 90% for them and 10% to action. BTW i have relatives from china, im not against the race, im talking about governments and big industrial biz. (not racist over here)

Hello UFIXTEK. I wanted to ask if I put the required Jack on NVME and SATA, ask Lenovo for the BIOS, will the corresponding ports work for me? PS: for Lenovo Ideapad Slim 1 81Vs
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, no my friend we repair motherboard for over 17 years and have tested and the motherboard not only requires the m.2 jack , it also requires many other components e.g power regulator and capacitors and at the end the bios update for the new m.2 firmware. it is not something you can do at home, you need the schematic for the m.2 board and replicate the components.

I think the only way is to install the windows on a usb memory card using Rufus program using the "windows to go" install option, while it is convenient to install the linux system on the main ssd, in this way you have two boot and two operating systems and more free space.
you can create windows 10 usb easy with one simple tool: th-cam.com/video/uDu8j2lE-dM/w-d-xo.html then you can use the same installer to install along side the linux if you wish. but there are many ways to get both installed along side one another.,

you could use external drive but it will be limited to usb speed and not that great, and having external drive 24h on that it will over load the usb chip as they use a low quality chips

no my friend it cant, because there are many components that are not installed and if they get installed you must change few other components (power regulators) to feed the voltage. sorry to inform you like this :( thank you for the support to the channel, if there is anything in the future you need help with let me know in any of my video comments
true and not true, we have place on many versions a connector and only 30% of them did detect the ssd, and the rest the connector was perfect but the bios would not detect it. and for a regular consumer it risky to do this at home or some technician that dont know how to use solder well or heat gun. for the above reasons i dont like to show modding videos that can cause damage to the laptop. i appreciate your feedback and support my friend :)
yes the come in 250 and there is a 512gb also. but for some reason we have installed in few clients the connector and only worked in few. but again im glad that you got it expended and thanks for the sharing.

oh my bad im sorry i searched but i saw the board but i made a mistake it was a slight different model than your with m.2 jack, your's as you mentioned yes its an emmc what we do with those, as it goes bad fast because there is no Dram chip for the ssd, we get a higher capacity emmc chip from aliexpress ( is.gd/YwwVyA ) and solder on board. its called reballing BGA.

its a lot of components and lots of work and only a really good technician with a good components repair skills can do it. they don't sell the components you have to salvage them from other motherboards.

So I got this laptop too, 4gb ram just isn't enough for me...or anything at all apparently because the damn thing is extremely sluggish.

i bought 1 and cant install windows on it even when i use lenovo emmc drivers. for some reason the emmc drive is write protected. is this normal. pc wont boot only boot loops
this happens a lot we do get this issue in the store but then what we do is replace the emmc (desolder) and install new and biger capacity and it works after.
@@uFixTek fixed it. Using diskpart in CMD in startup repair to clean the emmc helped but I can't say if write protection was as big as an issue since I found out windows can install on a write protected drive. The driver issue was bcuz my windows installation USB was x86 and the emmc driver was x64. Creating a x64 windows USB made the driver work but idk why since x86 should support X64. Finally got windows installed but no driver from Lenovo website worked. So no wifi or touchpad and this laptop doesn't even have Ethernet port. Had to USB tether to get windows updates on this very slow pc. Thankfully windows was able to get the driver issue resolved.

no my friend the ram is not upgradable :(

I just bought this laptop today, is it still working good for you?
Thanks for making this video. When I didn't see this laptop model available on a website for upgrades, it got me curious. I'm so glad someone did a video on this. Super angry, but that's what I get for being cheap. next time...
Glad I could help! thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P

in Canada i took this laptop to a shop and asked them to install m.2 jack, the guy told me that i should not do this. but i insisted and got it installed and it doesn't work!!! money wasted :(
but he did charge me $98CAD and installed a 256gb emmc and i had to install windows and its working like a charm.
you should of listen, its sad that how some people insist on how that by installing m.2 it will just simply work.
me too... I took this laptop to a tech store in New Zealand during vacation and because I was running out of space and needed more storage I asked the guy to install the m.2 jack so that I could have more storage... he also suggested me not to do this and my dumb self insisted and was charged 50$... 2 weeks later the process was finally done and I come to pick up the laptop and went back to the UK to my hometown and I decide to try if it actually works and of course the bios does not detect the SSD. money wasted :(
Also this isn't my daily driver thank god.. i was just experimenting around
i know my friend you should of seen the long discussion that i had with an idiot here in the morning saying 1st of all 256gb emmc dont exist lol
bit.ly/3jj2j1z
and that some guy made a video on you tube that he installed the m.2, but in the video he never dared to show or post a video even months later showing it working. there are many other factors that come in play after installing the m.2 jack: power regulators components, bios firmware and mods, and voltage regulators must be adjusted. i do this for living and i repair motherboard and more.
the only option is to replace the emmc storage to a 256gb and you are all set, and even that requires a good technician that know how to do reballing.
i have increased this laptops storage to 128gb and 256gb emmc and they work great. i dont make the video because i dont want people to try and by accident destroy. in my videos i try to keep it in safe side for users.
@@uFixTek Lol what a guy 😂

thank you for the feedback and your support and yes its a sad information for those that have this laptop, if there is anything you need help with feel free to ask out.
Thanks on this video. I got a look at it without having to pop my one open. Regarding upgrades for anyone willing to pull this off, if you are running an OS such as True NAS that doesn't even support Wi-Fi you could theoretically just take the WIFI card out, put a hole in the back cover, and connect an EGPU via a riser card. Or if you have the need you could just get one of those USB Wi-Fi adapters and call it done. I do wonder what version of PCIe the Wi-Fi card is connected through and how many lanes it has... If you guys are dissecting yours could you please check this and comment it really quickly, Thanks.
🫠Regarding your question, do not place a egpu on that m.2 lane it is buttle necked and it will not give you a good results. we have tested with egpu on this models and all i can say it is a disappointment.
@@uFixTek not the m.2 lane but the mini PCIe lane where the wifi card is
m.2 mini pci-e wifi lane is not a full pci-e x4 lane it is a 2x pci-e lane it is very slow

Do you have any recommendations that are very cheap but better? I like the looks of this. I can do basic upgrades myself. But if you can’t upgrade the ram and there’s no fan….no use.

Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, it is not possible if you don't have the jack it is not possible because you will need a jack and many other components and firmware change and extras, not something you can do easily.

thanks for this. I have an earlier 110s 11.6inch laptop that is easily expandable using an m2 slot. I need a small compact machine i can whip out anywhere and that 'fitted the bill' with a modest m2 ssd card in . . these days however even for limited office tasks the in stalled 2GB ram is not enough, and the processor is too old and slow. again even for very limited tasks.
so i guess after seeing this, Lenovo have cut off this upgrade path to try to get us to change our machines more often !
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
It is true that lenovo and most other if not all brands are shifting from the idea of making a good laptop LAST and also UPGRADABLE. its not in their benefit to do this anymore its the war of reselling that is happening. its like your Iphone, they put a 16gb , 32gb and so on storage and that is not upgradable or add extra storage because they dont like it, they want to milk the cow as much as possible. same here in laptops, they adding they tablet specs of components and a attached keyboard and trackpad and change the name from portable TABLET to a portable laptop. and its sad that they dont present this info on the box , so the consumers clearly understand what they are buying.
on weakly basis i get about 40-50 clients coming in thinking that they can upgrade the resent purchase of the laptop that they got cheap. because even the sales reps tell them "oh ya get this and upgrade later" BS they don't even are oriented to know what a garbage they pushing to a consumers.
@@uFixTek so basically we are in the middle of a climate crisis where many items are in short supply and rather than giving us the option to extend the useful lifespan of our current products, manufacturers try to actively hinder us ! Capitalism and consumerism gone mad. same with cars etc.
i know this may sound a bit off topic, but the world is divided and we as consumers have no right in any major effects, we are the slaves of our society ( governments and big companies), we get paid and the money we have its not even ours (at least not 100%).
im not pointing fingers or anything, just think about this: this pandemic started in china and the price of electronics and house fitness and face mask went to 800%, and when the pandemic started spreading to other countries china started recovering and going back to normal, and who you guess is making all those electronics , face mask and much more and selling them at 800%+.
i'm just saying, they could start helping other countries for the same price or less and humanity can be back to normal.
this topic can be talked about for days. im living at the moment in the Mexico and its so sad that i see the low class families can't afford any sort of laptops and they using old A**SS cellphones tablets for their kids to do home school. and even if the little money that they get they end up pushed to purchase this low grade "laptops" . i provide free service as much as i can for those families here for 2years now and its sad that every other electronic shops are taking advantage and ripping the poor people. i have donated over 200laptops and tablets to so many people in need and making videos for helping others to not get ripped.
for past 2years every single penny i made from little viewers i have here i helped families in need. you don't see me making videos helping people, because they have rights to be anonymous. it gets be mad and angry when i see this other channels with millions of subs and viewers and making videos of how they are feeding the poor people and show their reaction so they can make 3x money. if he or she wanted to help poor people no need to label every poor individuals.
like churches, they make food for poor people and they ask them to go there 1pm-3pm and eat a portion, i do that to my dog!! if the church wanted to really help the poor then STFU and take the food to the people and don't brag about it.
but they need MONEY 90% for them and 10% to action.
BTW i have relatives from china, im not against the race, im talking about governments and big industrial biz. (not racist over here)

Regarding your question, no my friend we repair motherboard for over 17 years and have tested and the motherboard not only requires the m.2 jack , it also requires many other components e.g power regulator and capacitors and at the end the bios update for the new m.2 firmware. it is not something you can do at home, you need the schematic for the m.2 board and replicate the components.

I think the only way is to install the windows on a usb memory card using Rufus program using the "windows to go" install option, while it is convenient to install the linux system on the main ssd, in this way you have two boot and two operating systems and more free space.
you can create windows 10 usb easy with one simple tool:
th-cam.com/video/uDu8j2lE-dM/w-d-xo.html
then you can use the same installer to install along side the linux if you wish.
but there are many ways to get both installed along side one another.,

You can actually solder an m.2 connector ok the top left and add storage that way, mine works with 256gb.
true and not true, we have place on many versions a connector and only 30% of them did detect the ssd, and the rest the connector was perfect but the bios would not detect it. and for a regular consumer it risky to do this at home or some technician that dont know how to use solder well or heat gun. for the above reasons i dont like to show modding videos that can cause damage to the laptop. i appreciate your feedback and support my friend :)

once in bios enable F12 boot menu , and save exit then once restart keep tapping on F12 and choose usb and install windows. and if any error during windows install then replace the ssd then install windows.

regarding the fact that the laptops are like this is, because they don't like people upgrade or repair, its a market war, its who can sell the most, and resell, its like iPhone you get 16gb storage or 128gb , 256gb. they aiming to the same method on laptops, its disgusting but its what it is.

Comose podría aumentar el almacenamiento?
no se puede aumentar la capacidad del equipo , lleva una memoria soldado en la tarjeta madre. losiento de avisarte que no se puede.
@@uFixTek oh NoooooOooooo! Thanks
de nada amigo, cuando tengas algun duda o preguntas , sa sabes aqui puedes preguntar :)
Good video.
Please how to upgrade the current • 64GB eMMC 5.1 on the system board?
Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
Regarding your question: The eMMC is not removable, you will need to send it out to a GOOD technician that knows how to to reballing , else you will damage the motherboard.
i dont know how to reball because most people will damage the motherboard even if they see a video on how to, it requires a lot of experience.
what a waste of materials and labor this laptop is. 64 GB of storage and 4gb of RAM, both of which are unupgradable
I totally agree with you; even a cheap tablet has at least 120GB of storage.
why does it have that 2032 battery??
That cr2032 is there to keep the Bios configuration active if you remove that the bios date and time and settings will be reset to default. the battery will last about 4-6years.
Thank you for your feedback and support to the channel :)
I have this laptop and I despise it greatly I swear.

Regarding your situation, i know and feel your pain as we see how the customers that come to the store with this laptop, they almost cry from hate.
Same. It's so slow and now I know can't upgrade it.
0/10 don't recommend
you could expend the storage by purchasing an emmc chip of aliexpress and take the laptop to a GOOD repair shop and ask them if they know how to reball a BGA chip and if they can get them to expand your emmc chip (your on board storage)
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002454326131.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.464b1d7be9tJ2n&algo_pvid=8774debd-3441-4332-809a-591662acbb7c&algo_exp_id=8774debd-3441-4332-809a-591662acbb7c-3
but if they mess up by a bit RIP
but again this will only get you more storage not speed!
@@uFixTek I am co - worker of a repair shop here in Australia . at least once per month we see customers with this laptop asking us to open the laptop for them and when they hear shocking truth that the laptop is not upgrade-able, they burst out to tears ! It is just a sad fritening thing to see . Lenovo is a garbage brand . I would always go for Asus or HP .
Our workers here do BGA chip reballing occasionally for customers with a kind of laptop like this ... we have tested many M ..2 jacks for this notebook but only 45% of the times it detected the SSD ...
I like your watch
my watch likes you too :P , thank you for the feedback
Omg thanks!
No problem!! thank you for the feedback and if you have any question in the future ask me :)
Bought this crappy laptop a little over 2 years ago, biggest mistake of my life. It still works to this day, but it's so laggy and you can't do anything on it. Why would anyone produce stuff like this?

Regarding your question, It's unfortunate that some companies resort to what can be seen as exploitative marketing tactics, commonly referred to as "milking the cow." It seems that they are targeting individuals who are on a tight budget, but unfortunately, this often results in subpar products being offered.
What a garbage this laptop is ... , so many empty space left on motherboard and not a single ram dim or a SATA jack for storage expansion ! Instead all of that are soldered to motherboard . Lenovo is horrible brand . It would have costed them nothing to put an M . 2 or sata jack...
i agree with you, but its not the bran my friend lenovo makes some good models, the thing is that this are the low grade and recyclable models. we do get some high end lenovo like T470s and alike, and they are build with awesomeness.
i been in this repair work like for over 15years and i have 3 shops, and i have to get to see all the evolution of the laptops , how they started so good and only having two categories on each brands, not every brand have like 8 categories, and they go like this trash... garbage.. recycle trash... ok.... a bit more ok.... and so on..
some Asus brands are even worse that this lenovos same some Hp.
i have made few videos on asus and hp that would drop your jaw.
Thanks
Welcome, and thank you for the feedback dn your support to the channel :P
can egpu work its?
the GPU is not up-gradable, and cpu is not up-gradable. and this model doesn't have a GPU dedicated.
i mean can i put a egpu method
yes you can , you will need to remove the wifi card and get a usb wifi:
amzn.to/2ZUsLUi
and in the m.2 of the wifi card you can place a egpu no problem.
amzn.to/3q3l7BF
weird cuz mine came with a 128gb nvme ssd lol
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
you lucky because some do come with 128gb ssd , but not all.
This should be illegal
Yeah, buying cheap electronics is just not wort it.
yup i learnt the lesson the hard way,the cpu aint too bad for a laptop of that value but heat sink is terrible, i could run a game like halo 2 for less than 10 min without the pc over heating
true that, always i recommend research before purchasing, check mobo ram slots and upgradability advantages, its good to ask us as we open up all types of laptops and seen most of them.
im sorry that you got this laptop (tablet) :(
@@uFixTek do you have any low buget laptops which are a least upgradable
where are you located yo i can send you few links for your country sites. and what is your budget limit ?
Is a tablet!!!
premuch it is a tablet

regarding your question: DISCONNECT THE BIOS BATTERY and the main battery, unplug the charger.
then short the pins inside the bios battery contacts for 30-60 sec then plug everything and the bios should be reset to default.
were is the harddirve
there is no hard drive, the storage is soldered on motherboard, its a tiny square chip that is soldered on board. its a emmc chip, it looks like this: imgur.com/a/simujES
you can't remove it, you will need a good technician that can do reballing.
@@uFixTek ill just get a new motherboard
the new mobo, that had the upgrades make sure the jack connections match, usually they are no match.
thanks for the video!! In conclusion this laptop is a useless piece of garbage
good for linux or very basic stuff but for the money its not worth it at alll. there are many other better option laptops for this price.
Thank you for the support to the channel by a sub :P
if you have any questions or request ask me in any of my video comments.

Ya la compré :(
lo siento, espero que lo compraste para uso muy ligera tipo de oficina. :(

regarding your questions: i asked god for answer and he said just sit back and watch the suffering on peoples face when their laptops start failing ... and i did and i do get lots of this models in the shop because of the over heating issue.
@@uFixTek ok thanks. I subscribed your channel) How you fix that ?
You can't fix it, just repaste with a good thermal paste and it will get much better for the heat transfer.
Wow, thanks. What a lame machine! Glad you showed us though. :)
You bet, thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
if you got any question or request feel free to ask, sorry for the late reply.
So I got this laptop too, 4gb ram just isn't enough for me...or anything at all apparently because the damn thing is extremely sluggish. Can barely even do anything on it without having to wait for it to do absolutely nothing. but since ram is not possible for upgrade, it would help if I could install an M.2 drive. You said it's possible right? I just need an adapter...is that easy to install? I have the laptop open right now
i bought 1 and cant install windows on it even when i use lenovo emmc drivers. for some reason the emmc drive is write protected. is this normal. pc wont boot only boot loops
this happens a lot we do get this issue in the store but then what we do is replace the emmc (desolder) and install new and biger capacity and it works after.
@@uFixTek fixed it. Using diskpart in CMD in startup repair to clean the emmc helped but I can't say if write protection was as big as an issue since I found out windows can install on a write protected drive. The driver issue was bcuz my windows installation USB was x86 and the emmc driver was x64. Creating a x64 windows USB made the driver work but idk why since x86 should support X64. Finally got windows installed but no driver from Lenovo website worked. So no wifi or touchpad and this laptop doesn't even have Ethernet port. Had to USB tether to get windows updates on this very slow pc. Thankfully windows was able to get the driver issue resolved.
@@oksu132 yes converting to gpt and cleaning disk should of been 1st i thought u tried those🙃 but im glad that u hot it resolved my friend.
