Welcome to Fixya

You can actually restore the computer back to the factory state by pressing the One key button. this button is located right beside or on top of the power button. the computer should be turned off mode then push the button to trigger the restore partition of the computer. This will happen if you did not repartition the harddrive. If you repartition the harddrive then the restore partition will be deleted.

Thank you for using Fixya! If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/elixirjose_00375ea24bd8141b

Hello,
for years companies used to give DVD's with the factory image in it. It is used these late years not to give DVD but have the image saved on a partition in the hard drive and giving you the option to make an image of Windows and applications in a DVD.
So now that you cannot have your old hard drive, you can find a DVD/CD of windows, it must be the same edition with your Windows label product key under the laptop (e.g. Vista Home Premium English, 7 Professional Spanish) and you can get drivers from Lenovo's website and the utilities also.
As long as you cant find a DVD of windows from a friend, you can contact Microsoft to send you one, maybe with a small fee.
