You might need to install a file system to read the drive. Type the
following into your terminal:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Ok, cool. Make sure to skip the key activation during instillation. It
probably wont activate then. Install all updates then activate it.

Tomas,
Thanks for the suggestion. I did not know that the recovery could be used
for installing in Virtual Box. (You said VM--I know that VM has a special
routine for extracting an installed OS for a virtual machine, but was
uncertain about Virtual Box.)
I am not certain if I will use Win
Alternatively, you could create Windows recovery USB media before
installing linux on the box.
It can be used to fully reinstall already activated Windows in VM or on
the laptop when you want to give it away.
I store the USB media on a filer as VDI disk image, forever. I have
never used any of
The latest question, "Is it activated?" , the answer seems to be "yes".
Posts I have seen say that if not activated personalization should not be
possible. It is possible for this installation. But...
I read that Win 10 can be moved to a virtual machine:
I entered settings, searched for "Is windows activated". The response was
unable to reach activation servers (not connected). It also had an entry
to change the product key, but no existing product key was shown. So I
think I am still uncertain. I can connect and try again (tomorrow).
On Thu,
I will search windows, but not being familiar with it I may have
difficulty. BTW I managed to boot from a 16.04 flash drive--progress.

Before you install Ubuntu could you check in the settings to see whether it
says activated or not? I might need to do something depending on what that
says.

That helps. It is F12 on this system. But USB is not on the list, so I
have to use a 14.04 CD that I have, rather than the 16.04 flash drive. But
for starters, this will help me check the system.

I meant that uefi is disabled because legacy boot in enabled, but I note
that secure boot is also disables. I do not understand how these two
interact, nor exactly what they mean for that matter.

I booted it, gave the machine a name, then said skip when it wanted to go
on-line (no internet cable connected to it.) Then what I expect is the
standard windows desktop was presented. I expect it will give me some time
before it complains about not being activated.

I don't know if that actually means anything. Have you booted it yet, and
if so, what does it say?

This is encouraging. Thanks for the idea.
The (only) instructions that came with the machine were on how to register
the windows 10. Also, the COA has a "silver" patch over a portion of the
number, with instructions to gently scrape the silver off to expose the
full number. This, to me,
Hey Denis,
Windows 10 license keys become tied to hardware as soon as it's activated,
so if it hasn't been activated, you should be fine with a Windows 10 ISO,
your COA and VirtualBox. Now, I was under the impression that all prebuilt
PCs came activated, so are you absolutely certain that it
When you said UEFI is disabled as well, did you mean Secure Boot is
disabled? Or do you mean UEFI is disabled, because legacy boot is enabled?

I figured out how to get to the bios. There is not boot-order option I am
accustomed to--the order is set by properties UEFI/legacy rather than
CD/HD, etc. I set it to legacy, but it still did not boot the CD. UEFI is
disabled as well. I guess I need to explore other options. Ideas?
On Wed,
I must be getting old & cautious... I've started
researching compatibility issues as much as I
can before purchase.
Blessings,

Lenovo ThinkCentre M92p only boots Windows or Redhat. Hard coded into UEFI.

Denis,
Often, pressing F12 while the system goes through its POST will bring up
the BIOS interface. In
Good idea. I tried that. I need to figure out how to get the machine to
