Lenovo z500 energy management windows 10

Hi. I own a Z500 Touch which, excepting Bluetooth only works when my PC is reboot (I don’t know why), the laptop goes really well.

Today is the day when W10 release. I’ve been watched and Lenovo says my laptop is not on the list of the recommended PC to upgrade (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103535). The PC neither appeared on the list to upgrade W8.1 and, despite that, the computer works perfectly (not the Bluetooth, as I said).

I’d like to know if you recommend me to update or not update, because I’m afraid of apps like Energy Management stop working correctly, or drivers like the wi-fi one, in spite of the compatibility test from Get Windows 10 said that my PC can run the new SO with no problem.

If someone has tried with this laptop Windows 10 or has any idea, I’d be glad to hear it.

Re: Z500 and Windows 10

Theoretically you won’t really need new drivers from Lenovo, the Windows Upgrade does drivers and stuff itself and brings them over from the old OS (at least in my experience earlier this morning :P). However, since there’s no real rush to get Windows 10, you might as well wait if you aren’t sure or aren’t comfortable upgrading yet. They’ll be fixing bugs along the way and you have a full year to upgrade for free, so there’s no need to do it as soon as possible. One thing to watch out for is NVIDIA drivers are a bit wonky at first and you’ll need to update Windows 10 from Windows Update, so don’t be freaked out if your screen looks weird at first.

Re: Z500 and Windows 10

Well I made the jump recently (Z500 nontouch corei7, nvidia740) and I can say the OS is really nice. Especially the browser, Edge, which is a freaking beast. Also the new start environment is so much better and faster than the Windows 8.1 platform. I recommend you try it out. Just make sure you make a backup with Lenovo onekey recovery just in case you experience an incompatibility. But so far I’ve only encountered very minor issues with the upgrade.

The upgrade step was reminiscent of the jump to 8.1 but this time the download is operated by windows update instead of the store. Good thing about it is you get to keep ALL YOUR FILES AND PROGRAMS. The downside is it’s not a fresh installation so there might be some issues if you’ve tweaked your registry and system files. Also you make a huge windows.old folder which you have to delete manually with disk clean up.

Once upgrade is done, the OS works off the bat, using most of your previous settings and preferences. You will immediately feel the difference. Also all of my programs work without compatibility issues so far. All my files are all in the same places were I left them and changes to user folders are maintained.

However like the upgrade from windows 8 to 8.1, the same driver issues come up. Like 8.1, windows tries to install default drivers instead of the right ones so the video card will be off, the touchpad will be off, the audio card will be off. Good thing is you can use your 8.1 drivers without any problems. The energy management and onekey theater programs will work once you installed the right drivers.

So far the only problem I’ve encountered is with the camera. But I have yet to reinstall the driver which I believe would fix it. But I expect there will be issues as some users report that the Windows Camera app is really buggy to begin with.

All in all that’s what I’ve experienced so far. I’m just 12 hours since upgrading. I’ll update you once some other problems pop out.

Lenovo Power Management Driver

Lenovo Energy Management — утилита для управления питанием в ноутбуках Lenovo. Отдельные версии этой программы могут быть названы Lenovo Power Management или еще более длинно Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI). За программу отвечает драйвер ACPI\VPC2004, и если драйвер Energy Management не установлен, именно под таким названием в диспетчере устройств появляется неизвестное оборудование.

Чтобы посмотреть для каких ноутбуков подходит та или иная версия программы, кликните по номеру версии или по иконке с фотоаппаратом рядом с ней. Тем самым вы откроете изображение с перечнем моделей.

Если вашего ноутбука нет в списках, оставьте, пожалуйста, комментарий и мы обязательно добавим нужную запись в таблицу. На видео после статьи рассказано как найти утилиту для своей модели компьютера под установленную на нем операционную систему на официальном сайте Lenovo.

Замечательный проект, хорошо, что есть подобные энтузиасты. На официальном сайте тот же Energy Management разбросан по страницам и моделям, а здесь же весь программный ряд!
