I own a Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ABA7, but I can't use Windows 10 because the website only sells or lists Windows 11. Since I have no time to test it right now and just want to know if others with this same laptop can install drivers for Windows 10, I'll keep waiting until later when my schedule allows it. If you are looking for Lenovo support: check their laptops and netbooks section for the 5 series under Ideapad 5 15aba7 at pcsupport.lenovo.com

Did you bring Win 11? Why do people want Win 10 instead? Is this happening because of a specific thread here? My question is about a stuttering problem when I installed Windows 11 on my Ideapad 5 15ABA7. I got this Lenovo yesterday. It has an R5-5625u, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Everything feels really fast, but the animations in both Windows and Chrome are slow. The system often lags, which is very annoying. I think the problem comes from AMD because I tried installing the latest drivers for both AMD and Lenovo too...

Yeah, it was actually coming from there. I need a Windows 10 computer since Win 11 feels too much of a hassle to use.

What does annoying actually mean?

I love how this UI looks and moves around. But there are some really annoying parts. I can't move the taskbar to the top or left or right side. The recommended list on the Start menu just shows a blank spot when you try to turn it off. There are too many steps required for things like clicking through menus, and the computer takes longer to start up even with a fast NVMe SSD.
