Burn the ISO into a DVD (or USB drive if you want), boot from the drive and proceed installation as usual... when asked which drive to install, select the drive and format it...
hhmmm... i guess this is new coz if I remember correctly on Win7 we can do something like that regardless of license... 

maybe that's the reason there's no more OEM licensed version, replaced with System Builder version... hhmmm...

I start to feel like Win8 is not friendly if like this, more advantage to the OEM ready build systems, but not exactly friendly with custom build PC? that's off topic though... 

wait, does that mean the upgrade version that we have for Y580/Y480 is retail? or the one downloaded through Upgrade Advisor is properly licensed for OEMs?

Hi hi, Y580 user here!
Btw wanna ask if able to put in SSD without sending back to Lenovo?

Yeah I know,this is where is see the home premium os,and I know that gt650m come with free headset..and yeah..I have 2 years warranty..and I think I have hardware faulty issue..that the battery screw came off..+ the plastic broken..can't put it back..should I ask for warranty?

The retail is the Win8 that comes with the laptop... if you upgrade from Win7 then it's not retail i think...

hmm.. win 8 y580 user.. wats ur window performance index for your graphic card?.... mine is 6.8 ni.. lower than when i was on win7..

actually, retail is the one that not comes with the laptop... you buy it seperately, standalone Win8 not together with any system... that's retail licensed version...

previously, the one that comes with the system is OEM licensed... if you buy a laptop and get Windows, that Windows is under OEM license...

Win7 uses 7.9 scale while Win8 is 9.9 scale (is it? or it's 8.9?) that's why the rating is different... or so I believed...

Win8 y580 user here, the score for both the graphics is 6.8 for mine, same as yours

bila u beli ?

When i bought the Y480 (5934-7549) freedos version, i was told that it comes with 2 years warranty but when i check warranty lookup status at lenovo website, it only stated 1 year warranty.

Then i went to warranty extend at (http://support.lenovo.com/templatedata/Web%20Content/JSP/warrantyLookup.jsp#) but still only getting 1 year. Any1 with any idea how to extend it?

You need this:
1) Scan your receipt of purchase (must have your laptop Serial No in it)
2) If receipt doesnt include S/N, then take a snapshot of your laptop box with the info of the S/N and etc.
3) Attach both the above in an email and send to LENOVO (Check link post).

Hope it helps.

Are u referring to the yellowish in the FHD screen?

I have 2 more laptops and some very WHITE some a little YELLOWISH... even if its LED!

You can do the screen calibration yourself.
So far i found out LG parts for Laptop gives the little yellowish in white background.

Other brands give super WHITE background.
