I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

You are awesome. You explain everything perfectly and now I am able to install windows 10 on my Lenovo laptop. That's means I don't need to take it to be repaired for $300. bucks.
I recommend this gentleman for any problems with your PC's he is on point 100%
THANK YOU!

Thank you for the video it has massively aided me in restoring my laptop that has been broken for some time now.

Hey- I need help. All my Lenovo will do is open the boot menu that looks like it’s from the 80s. It won’t let me select the boot manager which is the only option there is. Any thoughts?

I just want to say your videos have been very helpful to me with resetting back to factory.

Thank you so much for the clear instructions. My employers' IT department had put so many layers on my personal new laptop I didn't think it would work. But it did!!! Thank you again.

FYI - I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre Tower with AMD A12 - 7TH GEN & couldn't exactly get into the back end the same way, but I found my way into a Lenovo Diagnostics by pressing F9, F10 & F11 (one at a time & alternating repeatedly), while booting up so I have no idea which one of those got me in, or if it was a "secret combination" lol. But, you can run diagnostics on everything with one click, or select one thing at a time. Since I have the error 1962, I tested my hard drive first, which was all good. Now I'm Testing for Bad Sectors, which automatically recovers whatever it can. It gives a warning that you should back up anything important if possible because any automatic repairs could erase data permanently. After testing, I'll try to give an update with results.
Thank you for organizing your videos in such a way that it makes it MUCH easier to troubleshoot quickly & what can possibly be skipped etc. It makes a big difference. I've been chasing down problems after one of the major WIN 10 updates a while back. (I let ads run to reward you for your time ;)

This looks great! I need to reinstall my Windows and do it right this time.

[doctorkathy]

Your videos are so helpful and informative. Easy to follow. Thank YOU!

[SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

My laptop appears to be downloading WINDOWS 10 . Praying hard that it works. I have been working on this for 9 days. This is the farthest I have gotten.

[LexusAmour]

Any advice if you keep getting an error every time you try to factory reset? It keeps telling me I don’t have enough space. I keep deleting things but I still don’t have enough

[jonandjesskennedy]

Thanks for doing this video! Does this keep drivers and Lenovo's preloaded apps, or do you have to reinstall them afterwards?
