This is the year of the crapocalypse

LENOVO.... OUT!

Built into the firmware on the laptops' motherboard is a piece of code called the Lenovo Service Engine (LSE). If Windows 7 or 8 is installed, LSE is executed before Windows is launched.

Presumably, if Windows 10 is installed, YOU are executed before Windows is launched.
