    Default Lenovo AIO idea centre restore problem

    Hi everyone.. I've got a Lenovo B320 all in one idea centre that I'm currently selling and need to restore to the factory image (Windows 7 home premium 64bit) however with the great hoo haa that Windows 10 caused I had previously installed the update but swiftly uninstalled soon after.
    Now due to that it has rendered the Lenovo restore partition (F11) useless and when I do manage to get access to the hidden partition via command prompt I can start setup but it then asks for drivers (which should be on the HDD or drivers disk I have) but will not recognise either areas and therefore cannot progress.

    I reinstalled Windows 10 to hopefully do a new install procedure but it's an issue as There is no working Windows 10 Bluetooth driver and now means the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is now useless...

    I was hoping to download a Lenovo Windows 7 oem but cannot find one and now just want to put a brick through the bloody thing!!

    Any suggestions of how I can restore to factory and hopefully sell it on?

    Thanks in advance!
    Meh....

    Sorry can't help you with your problem.

    I have been looking at getting an all in one though, do you recommend the Lenovo B320, when it was working that is?

    I see something about a vanilla version.. What is that?

    I've got all the drivers on a disk that came with the machine so no worries on that front. Just getting the win7 install

    & ilscuro yes the machines are great for space saving and has done me well but I just need a portable and more powerful machine now.

    Vanilla means nothing in the context of my post anyway. I mean just a standard AIO image u can get from any torrent or nzb site.

    Does this help;

    If not then ditch the onboard Bluetooth and buy a windows 10 compatible usb adaptor.

    Fairly sure the key dictates the version. No reason to panic, if one install doesn't play dice and activate, try another.

    If you have a legit key, you are entitled to an install. Even if u have to activate over the phone, it's a pain in the arse but it should work.

    Install Windows 10. Plug in a USB Keyboard and/or mouse (or a mouse and use onscreen keyboard), identify the required driver for the Bluetooth on the system via the Vendor/PCI ID. Install the driver manaull (or in Windows 7 Compatibility mode), Bluetooth then will work a charm.

    Edit -
    Further investigation flags up it's a Broadcom driver.
    Install this - http://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/downloads/ds031759

    Or try this one -

    Gonna try Windows 10 and the driver technique dejavu suggesting if it works and sticks (Lenovo forums saying only works until reboot, then I'll do a full Windows 10 update reinstall to clear any of my personal system data etc. That's only reason why I want to do reinstall tbh, system is working fine just want to clear my tracks so to speak and remove
    the bread crumbs...

    If that doesn't work then MHPs advice of buying a USB nano Bluetooth adapter is a cheap and simple solution, I imagine selling as Windows 10 with a Win 7 licence would attract more money too.

    my 3 options are:
    *Buy a new product key online
    *Type a different product key
    *Contact Microsoft to help resolve this problem.

    im getting fed up with it now as I've already sold it and supposed to have packaged up and shipped off today but i'm still trying to get a working OS on it!!
    I should have made a recovery disk set as soon as I got the machine but never thought i'd need to, its all windows 10's fault!!

    any help / suggestions to get me out this mess?

    p.s I downloaded the Home premium 64 orig iso that was posted in another post and that has installed fine but giving the same result as the dodgy one I installed previously...
    I've got all progs needed on usb stick for iso to usb burn, avast & deluge , chrome etc so can do multiple installs if needed but just need a working .iso or work around to activating this in a genuine matter.

    I also ran the MGA tool to check reason behind non authenticating so if any of the below makes sense or indicates why I'd greatly appreciate it

    I honestly think upgrading to Windows 10 and installing the required driver is the better way to go.
    Selling a decent system with what is now a 'Legacy' Operating System is a large step back.

    As well as the amount of shit your getting simply from Activating Windows 7... You may as well take the opportunity, seeing as it still available for free. To install Windows 10 and irradiate the problem with the Bluetooth Driver. Least it'll be a legit version of Windows 10.

    Just my 2 pence.
    Offer still stands to help get the driver installed and working via Teamviewer.
