    OK - I am expecting my T510/FHD/SSD system on Monday and I configured it to the PCDOS option (I am with an academic institution) - hence it will not have any version of Windows installed. I am eligible for a free full Win7 Pro license and plan to use it as a fresh install. I hate the extra crapware that comes with laptops lately, so I will like to do a fresh install but will not have the Lenovo Win media or partition. Can I just download the power mgmt and hotkeys programs from Lenovo's site? Any other recommendations for useful includes?

    turbo boost has to be installed manually. at least it was the case for me on the t410.
