Hello MSFN! Recently, I tried to install Windows XP on a Lenovo G50-80, to experience real days with it, not with an VM. Intel i7-5500U, 2x8GB DDR3 SoDIMM, Intel Graphics 5500, Radeon M330, 128GB Intenso SSD, HM87 Chipset (according to Google and ChatGPT, because it stands NOWHERE ON THE HARDWARE) It runs Vista and maybe it can run XP too, but it won't work, how hard I tried. I tried from USB and CD, used SP1/SP3/x32/x64 Versions, tried to include the AHCI driver from this Forum and only one Error comes out. If it's right, "iaStore is corrupted" after it end loading from the beginning. Can someone help? I can't really find anything on the Internet, and I really want to try it. Have a good (for me) night.

I did it! I bought a Lenovo G500 laptop with Windows 8 (I still have my old Pentium 3 desktop though). Well, the start screen isn't so horrible but I too prefer the desktop - with a bit of a start menu with access to the various programs. I retrieved the serial number with Read and Write Everything as it was proposed in one topic here. Yet I wonder if there is a way to see the normal BIOS messages when the computer starts instead of the Lenovo logo. I looked into the BIOS but didn't find anything relevant - or it has to do with the "secure boot"?
