    Hello All,

    What's the easiest way to do a clean OS install on the Y470 if you don't have a Windows 7 disc? Is there a way to us Lenovo Recovery, and selectively choose what additional software to install that came pre-loaded? Thanks!

    Nevermind, I found some outdated guides, hopefully I can adapt them to Windows 7.
