    If Windows Hello with fingerprint is not available: Go to Device Manager and uninstall the TouchChip fingerprint reader (select "remove driver software" if it asks). Then restart, and it should automatically re-install a compatible driver that works with Windows Hello settings. Do not install the optional driver update for this fingerprint reader from Windows Update. If battery charge thresholds aren't available in Lenovo Vantage: Download this driver support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds541411 and install it. Note the folder where that driver was extracted. If that still doesn't work, go to Device Manager, find System Devices, Lenovo PM device, right-click and Update Driver, choose the manual option, click on Have Disk, then select that driver from that extracted folder. Again, do not install optional driver updates for this (it's marked as "Lenovo - System" in Windows Update)

It only shows the " turbo boost driver " even tho it should show the hd graphics and the turbo boost one , Is it because 1809 is too new or old for the driver ?? Would like to see it running w10 fine

    Windows 10 1809 is awfully outdated (support ended in November 2020, just a few months after Windows 7). You should install Windows 10 22H2, which works fine on this computer with 8 GB of RAM and a SATA SSD. You can find most drivers on the "optional" section of Windows Update. If you don't care about security updates, it's better to just install Windows 7.

    On another Windows computer, use the media creation tool to create a Windows 10 installation DVD or USB drive: www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10 then boot from it on your T410 and try the repair option (not install). If the repair doesn't work, you'll have to install Windows 10 from the beginning. (If it asks for a product key, enter your Windows 7 one)

    You install it just like on any compatible computer: create an installer USB drive (for example with Microsoft's media creation tool: www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 ) and boot from it (on this computer you press F12). If it asks for a product key, enter your Windows 7 one (it's on a sticker under the battery). Then format or delete the partition where your previous OS was (this will delete everything), and finally you can install. For detailed instructions, search "clean install windows 10". After the clean installation you have to install drivers, most of which are from Windows Update optional section.

    CMOS battery or BIOS update have nothing to do with RAM. Check that your RAM sticks are installed correctly. If it doesn't help, download MemTest86 www.memtest86.com/download.htm (scroll down to Older Versions and get V4) and burn it to a CD/DVD or write it to a USB drive. Then boot from it and use it to check your RAM. To update the BIOS you just download the update file (6iuj29us.exe), run it and follow the instructions.

    Yes you can, but the latest BIOS version for the T410 is version 1.45 from February 2013, it will not install EFI. Go to this page download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/ddfm/T410.html and download "BIOS Update Utility" (Windows 11 is not compatible with T410 for many reasons, not just lack of EFI)

    Even if you install Windows 11 manually, Microsoft is blocking Windows 11 updates on any computer that isn't officially supported. You need 8th gen Intel Core (Coffee Lake) or newer, or 2nd gen AMD Ryzen or newer, and you must have TPM 2.0 (1.2 is not enough). So do not install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC. Even 6th gen Skylake is "too old" for Windows 11.

The latter is recognized by Windows 10 as "Generic Bluetooth Adapter". And I found out when you put this T410 running Windows 10 in sleep mode and then wake it up, Bluetooth stops working (it even disappears from Device Manager) and you can't turn it back on until you restart. Before sleep mode it works fine.

Or try seeing if the touchpad works in an Ubuntu live DVD or USB drive (choose the "try" option, you don't have to install).

    Windows 10 is stable on this PC for now, and this computer has a license for Windows 7 Professional, not Ultimate.

    Like the video says, this laptop also has a 1st gen i5, but it boots up quickly because it has an SSD. I didn't install many programs, but everything I tried so far works.

    The last ThinkPad with old keyboard style is the T420 or X220. And with some work it's possible to install the T410/T420/X220 keyboard in a T430/X230 (but not newer models). The old style is superior, but the new one is still way better than a MacBook keyboard.
