Right. I did a clean install of Win7 on both my T61 (32-bit) and T61p (64-bit) and then installed drivers and System Update from Lenovo's site and built my systems manually. I think that's the only option available for laying down Windows 7 on those models.

Good luck.

One of my users called Lenovo to find out how to get W7 for her T61, and the alleged person on the phone said that Lenovo didn't sell software and that she needed to talk to Microsoft for it. I'm currently looking at the labyrinth that is Lenovo.com and so far haven't found where to get W7 DVDs. Any clues on where they are? I'm looking for the W7 set so I can create a W7 recovery partition.
