Background

  • A T540p laptop was purchased singly for Norwin upon hire in October 2014. As a single purchase, the laptop therefore does not align with the refresh cycle of all other laptops (managers + IT).
  • The 8GB DDR3L RAM and 180GB SSD in the T540p became limiting and an upgrade for both components was approved.
  • Manager laptops were upgraded in 2016. Model purchased was the T460s. One T460s became available for use upon departure of a manager.
  • The T460s has 8GB DDR4 RAM (4GB onboard, 4GB upgradeable) and a 180GB SSD (SATA, upgradeable).
  • All T460s are OEM-licensed for Windows 10.

Upgrade notes

  • Norwin has switched to the T460s from the T540p. Rather than upgrade the RAM and SSD on the T540p, components were purchased for the T460s instead.
  • The T460s was upgraded to 20GB (16GB + 4GB) of RAM, and the SSD was upgraded to 500GB.
  • As per manager endorsement and approval, the laptop will run Windows 10 Pro. Windows 10 Pro was installed, and activation was automatic as - at least according to Windows - the hardware ID had not changed.
  • Laptop is domain-joined and now in active use.
  • The spare computer and parts (4GB SODIMM and 180GB Intel 660p) are available in the cage.

Temporary notes

  • Laptop name is NORWINU10, pending a change back to NORWINU1.
  • Software will continue to be installed.
