Lenovo Thinkcentre M92P: Full Recovery Process (Timelapsed)
Recovery Disks used (You'll need to download the ISO's from both links if you want to use them):
Recovery: archive.org/details/0-b-76279-lenovo-windows-8-recovery-media-disk-1-of-2
OS Disc: archive.org/details/0b75974-lenovo-windows-8-pro-recovery-media
Decided to timelapse this recovery process since it differs by 0% from the M93P or the T530 (and even the T15, which I've yet to cover).

Imagine it's October 26, 2012 (it's turning 12 in a few days, fun fact), you just came home from your retailer with a copy of Windows 8. How might the upgrade procedure (from Windows 7) go for you?

    Windows Vista and SSD don't mix unless you figure out how to do your trim housekeeping. Windows 7 sp1 and above are more optimized for that technology. I would recommend using Western digital black instead. Sure it's slower over all but it won't slow down like a solid state will not doing proper trims!

    For Windows NT 4.0 and prior, the boot partition had to be equal to or lesser than 4GB. This is because it created the partition as FAT16 first using an unsigned integer and 64KB cluster size (DOS used a signed integer making 2GB and 32KB cluster size the maximum partition size), making this variation of FAT16 non-DOS compatible. Then if the user selected NTFS, it would convert the file system on first boot. You would see this as a message that looked similar to performing a CHKDSK operation before the GUI loads. Beyond that, all other partitions can be up to 16 exabytes in size in theory.

    .DWG files are Adobe drawing files, .bip files are motion files from 3DS Max .xls files are Excel spreadsheet files balance sheet to be exact, .gex files are system interchange files + unknown chipset driver. The 2004 Tax Cut is probably accounting files disk, and the reason for the various versions of TaxCut is because the developer hadn't allowed for updating the database with new tax codes. It may have been intentional as a way to keep charging for their software. The WPQuiz is most likely a Wordperfect document for a handout quiz. Anyway you can google file extensions keeping in mind that most of the programs they are for no longer exist.

    It's really cool to see these system recovery processes. It really is worth doing if you use the DVD drive, that software costs money. VLC isn't perfect for DVD's, there's a reason that software is hosted in France as well. If you wanted to get crafty, you could uninstall all the bloatware from add/remove programs, and in-place upgrade yourself all the way to windows 11 on this computer! maybe clone it to a ssd first. CPU is kind of slow though.

  • @itstheweirdguy

    These are good computers. They have IDE mode for the SATA ports too so they are easy to get Windows XP running, there's drivers too that fully work! You can put it to sleep it all works. Full driver support XP to windows 10, and even 11 though you'd be unsupported no TPM on these ones. On the downside on this computer, if it wasn't upgraded to windows 10 before October 2023, you won't be able to get windows 10 activated for free, they turned that off. I doubt that you would be able to boot from nvme in this computer even if it was in the pci express slot, you would want to use SATA. It probably would work as storage but I doubt this system has a boot ROM for nvme.
