Need assistance with setting up the operating system.
Hey there, I see you're having some trouble with your Lenovo Yoga 500. Since you lost your Windows OS and don’t have any data left, you’ll need to start fresh. Using a bootable USB or CD is the best way to install a new OS. Let me know if you want step-by-step guidance!
You meant Linux Mint, correct? If yes: 1) Create a bootable USB stick 2) Start from Linux installation 3) Pick install and proceed with steps. Because you don’t need to retain data, you can go for the easiest choice and just wipe the existing files.
It's kept in a dedicated module on the motherboard. Losing it isn't possible. The key isn't usable anywhere else. For reinstall, you can retrieve restore files from Lenovo support or create a bootable USB from a Windows ISO. You might still have a restore partition—check the manual or help files on Lenovo's website for details.
You can find pure Windows on official Microsoft websites or authorized retailers.
There are limited options available. windowsiso.net provides torrents, while the Microsoft site requires a non-Windows device for direct downloads.
