You can turn off sign-in under the "Sign-in Options". Depending on what version of Windows you have, there's a timer (1-15min) or Upon Restart option in the dropdown menu. But they all have a "Never" option in there too.

I purchased the same laptop last October except mine came with an Intel CPU. So far, it's been spot on with speed and no hiccups. I will be upgrading the NVMe drive and memory after the warranty wears out. Surprisingly, the warranty for LENOVO computers is very affordable than others. Good choice, Britec. I hope you get lots of good life out of it and enjoy it!

@sathirawickramatunga Год назад

Ur lucky I don't like the AMD Version because there are some problems with the AMD Version, like with their TPM which cause stutters in windows 11. So annoying I wish I got the intel version and FYI if you get the intel version your laptop is Legion 5i and not the Legion 5 as Legion 5 is for AMD Models and the "i" come for intel model.

@jordanking7711 Год назад

Excellent video Brian although in my opinion, the very first thing you should do when you get a new laptop is the software updates for the OS and THEN the bloatware and everything else you mentioned. Only reason i say that is because you 'may' have problems with the OS right out of the gate and if you don't address them first with a software update it will just keep happening.

@KsjaksjaNakanAn 2 месяца назад

how to software updates the OS?

@jordanking7711 2 месяца назад

@@KsjaksjaNakanAn on Windows, click on the Start button (looks like four windows), click the Settings icon, then on the left hand side of the screen, click on Windows Update, and then you should be in the Windows Update screen, and all you need to do is click on Check for Updates, and IF there is an update it will tell you, and it should start downloading automatically, and when it's finished, just click on Install and your computer should restart and install said updates. Don't know about Mac unfortunately.

Hello! I have the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX 3070 140w. I think you've mistakenly pointed out about that Turning on Hybrid Mode, actually it saves battery and uses the integrated GPU. As such, lower FPS and uses Freesync instead of GSync. Turning it off makes the High Performace GPU directly connect to the monitor and thus enables GSync.

@fleshpistol 2 месяца назад

Yeah, I just posted the same thing. He completely waffled the difference between Hybrid and Discrete mode. You never want to be on Hybrid unless you are at work with multiple monitors. Gamers will always need to be on Discrete mode to isolate the GPU as you have said. I was kinda mind blown when he was saying all that lol. He has no idea that he is not running his gaming laptops correct for gaming lol.

Thank you so much for the walkthrough, I am just about the most computer illiterate person ever and been needing help to set up my new Legion. Quick question, I got the exact same laptop you did, is there any way to add RGB to it? I believe the trade off I made was to give up a bit of res and no RGB but backlit keyboard instead. I was bummed but everything else at this price point had way lesser specs.

I agree with pretty much everything and have been doing the same things for all the systems I'm maintaining (around 10). What I don't understand why people still bother installing third party antivirus and firewall. Windows Defender does a pretty decent job the last couple of years. And I ALWAYS install and use a Macrium Reflect.

@@jackhammer3708 if you’re concerned about just relying on WD, like me, you may consider getting Malwarebytes. Apparently it has a setting which allows it to do its thing while also letting Windows Defender function at the same time. This is what I’m planning to do on my new laptop coming in today. I’ve heard generally good stuff about Sophos, though I don’t know how it works with Win Def.

Same here. The first thing I did after I purchased by brand new ASUS ROG Strix G back in 2019 was perform a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro. After the initial setup all I had to do was download and install all the updates for the OS, apps and drivers, as well as declutter any pre-installed Windows apps that I don't use. Starting from a clean slate makes it much easier to deal with the computer in the long term, as it doesn't tend to misbehave nearly as much.

@tzviasegal3003 2 года назад

Even after it's setup, you can still go into control panel and remove bloatware. As for the power warnings, this is one 'bloatware' to keep- Charging the battery all the time/at 100% will shorten its life. The battery can actually suffer a failure and swell up like a balloon and pop the case open and can even crack the motherboard. If you leave it on AC a lot, as I do with my Gigabyte Aero, I use their power utility to set the max charge to 70%. Charging STOPS well before 100% so it doesn't make it explode. I see that quite a bit at work (in IT)- laptops broken open from pillow shaped batteries.

@_taho Год назад

Rather than removing the bloatware manually, I'd much rather reinstall the OS. 1. Install Windows 10 2. Update Windows 3. Run Chris Titus' script to disable telemetry and mouse acceleration 4. Disable animations 5. Run a windows debloater tool and uninstall other unnecessary software 6. Image with Clonezilla. 7. Install programs as normal. Step 1 ensures that I have a clean OS. I have encountered persistent programs that reinstall themselves (I'm looking at you Asus) after uninstalling. Regarding step 4, I heard that animations eat into your battery life, and I prefer having a snappier OS. Step 5 removes the usual junk that Microsoft installs. Step 6 ensures that if I ever had to reset my laptop, I will always have a backup to revert to.

MY first step is to either yank the HD and do a complete "Original system HD image" which I call a "Pre First-boot Backup". The purpose of this is to be sure that if I ever sell it in the future (it could happen!) I can restore the original OEM image, and give the next guy "That fresh out of the box experience." You could also just swap in a fresh HD/SSD, so you don't have to worry about them "restoring your files", or simply so that you still have any files you may have forgotten to back up before the OEM reset. Been doing that for a good 20-odd years now. I've used Macrium Reflect for this for years...boot from a USB stick, do the backup to an external HD, and you're covered.
