    Hey guys, does anyone know if I can still find a functional link to download modded BIOS for SLIC 2.1 (to offline-activate Windows 7) for an older B590 model?

    I am new to this, been browsing through the forum and there's ton of information. Still I'm unable to find this.

    Thanks a lot in advance for helping me out

    Thank you for such a fast reply!

    Do I get it right that this tool will simply write something to BIOS so that after that, it will be SLIC 2.1 compatible and ready to get activated offline?

    There are no instructions in the post.

    Thanks

    No, was just putting it out there for others.
    But why not just clean install win10 ?

    check your BIOS ID (TP-H1 or TP-H5 or TP-H9)
    download the file "Lenovo B490, B590 (TP-H1, TP-H5, TP-H9) .rar", unpack and read the manual

    Thank you so much for your time.

    I'm pretty sure it'd work, but finally hadn't a chance to try - I decided to install Win10 straight and used another activation method.

    Thanks again!
