    When I get my laptop, I will be doing a clean install, and I just want to know how you would get the Dolby drivers/software? I can't find a download link on Lenovo's driver page, nor on Dolby's site, and I didn't know whether it's included with the Realtek driver on Lenovo's site or what? Thanks guys.

    From my experience, the audio driver package should install the Dolby Home Theatre program.

    Be sure and save off the SWTOOLS directory.

    I have an X230T and upon installing the audio driver, the Dolby applications was included automatically. I realize it's not the same model you have but after my fresh install the only drivers I installed were the display and wifi. I let the Lenovo updater application find and install the rest including the audio driver. You will need the SWTOOLS folder so as others have stated, make sure you have it copied.
