    Guys,

    I'm going to get my new T410 in a few days and I will be installing a 160Gb SSD inside.

    So I need to get Windows 7 in a DVD format or download it from somewhere (I don't have MSDN access).

    Can somebody point me to the right direction?

    Last time I did that it was for Windows Vista and I found some OEM DVD to buy from I can't remember where, thanks to members of this forum.

    Last time I had to format I installed from the recovery disks-- but that installs all the Lenovo utilities (whether good or bad), and ultimately just ended up installing from a standard disk sans drivers. Enjoy the SSD!

    This is what I used. Worked perfectly.
