Returns for Windows 8 on Lenovo Notebook Notebook

This post describes my story on the return of windows 8.
I bought a Lenovo laptop in the store Notik. The money was returned in the pretrial order, for which a big store thanks. It saved time for me and you. It also reduced your expenses for my lawyer (in case I won the case, and I would definitely win), a penalty of 50% of the value of the transaction, as well as the payment of a penalty. In addition, I would have demanded the return of the well-known cost of Windows 8, and not the amount that Lenovo defined.




That it is necessary to make for return of the eight read more.

The first thing you need to get a handbook for the return. Download it here .
I read this training manual. Now you can listen to it as an audiobook. But keep in mind: this is a complex material, so for a more detailed perception you still need to have texts before your eyes. This audiomethoda for those who want to quickly get acquainted with the training manual. You can listen here .
pvp can update the training manual when available. New sellers excuse: return for windows 8 is not possible, because the key is sewn into the BIOS.

Where is the information?


Wednesday October 23, 2013
First, I went to the Lenovo website to find a refund process for os. Nothing even close to this subject was found on their website. On the Internet only non-working link www.pc.ibm.com/europe/microsoft/ru/os_return_policy.html walks .
The only place where you can at least see what was there - web.archive.org/web/20120606043625/http://www.pc.ibm.com/europe/microsoft/ru/os_return_policy.html is the last backup page on the web archive.
What is the situation with the return from them is generally not entirely clear. There must be a current page with a description of the procedure!
This forum contains a slightly tweaked version of the statement, pulled from the web archive, in odt format

Thursday October 24, 2013 12:13
I called the Lenovo (8 499 705 62 04).
protocol
- Hello, tell me where can I find information about the return procedure?
- Have you already purchased a laptop or not?
- Not.
- And which laptop you can get?
- Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
- He's with windows 8, huh?
- Yes.
- In our database there is the following information: from the time of purchase you have 15 days to contact the seller, but before that you do not need to activate windows.
- Ie I appeal to the seller, leave him a statement ...
- Yes, yes, yes ... that you are giving up the operating system. After that, they have this refund procedure.
- Can I see a sample application somewhere?
- The seller must already know this procedure.
- Ie sample i ask from him?
- Yes, all this information is with him. After the acquisition already.
- Thank.
- All the best.

The bottom line: the manufacturer kicks the buyer to the seller. Well, it’s generally more convenient for me to pick up money from the seller right away.

Second call to lenovo
protocol
- In order to improve the quality of service, the call can be recorded and distributed.
[Well, they have a stupid system. You need to call the serial number, which I do not have and repeat several times to the robot, that I do not have it]
- Support Center lenovo, Vadim. Listen to you.
- Hello, tell me, please, your number, so that they do not immediately connect to the robot, but to you specifically.
- Press 0 to connect with the operator.
- And your specific number?
- We do not have this, i.e. usually distributed on the first free operator.
- I have a long question, and I don’t want to explain everything from scratch to the new operator every time.
- Everything is registered in our database.
- Good. What is your name again?
- Vadim.
- Vadim, I have such a question. I called here, the support service about the return value of the OS, and I was told that the seller is engaged in the return.
- Yes, it's true.
- However, after calling the seller, it turned out that the seller does not do this (their specialists do not practice this). In this case, who is to blame? Lenovo or shop?
- In principle, you were correctly told that the sellers are engaged in this. If the seller is not familiar with the return policy, give them our number and we will email them the return policy of the operating system.
- Specifically seller Player pv. They said that they do not do this and do not know. I told them that I already called you. They should send you a request for instructions. You can check?
- Good. And when exactly did you talk to them?
- The conversation was on Thursday or Friday.
- What is their email address?
- Well, probably, "player ru" should be present in the title.
“Second, please ... Unfortunately, no.” No request came from them.
- OK, fine. And another question: why the site does not have information about this procedure, and how then should the buyer even know that this is possible?
- In principle, this procedure is confidential and only for sellers.
- But the buyer must somehow find out that such a procedure exists. And the instruction how to act?
- Unfortunately, this is not on our site.
- You can call your email address where you can send a request and I will ask you to reply to it in a letter.
- Well, please tell me your email address, I will send you a test letter.
- My@pochta.ru
- I sent you. Please look if received.
- Yes, I received. I will send a request to him. Another question: what amount is returned when you refuse win8?
- windows 8 simple?
- Name both that and that, for information.
- for Windows 8 idle time - 400r, for professional - 1600, in my opinion.
- Is this accurate information?
- Yes.
- Well thank you.
- All the best.

Bottom line: Apparently, the player py did not send the request. They misinform me. Lenovo says infa returns are for sellers only. What the?? Let's make a competent request to them, with links to articles that they violate (failure to provide information?). And still it is necessary to demand a refund in the amount of the cost of the Windows version of Windows, and not the amount that some uncle invented backdating. In the manual described. I will now make a request.

- Hello. I want to buy a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. It is preinstalled with the operating system Windows 8. I do not need it and I want to give it up. How does this happen in your store?
- It's impossible.
- How is this impossible? This is a regular operation, it is determined by the manufacturer. Any store should do this.
- We do not have this. We have what system comes from the supplier, with such it is sold.
- Do you have someone more competent in this matter?
- I explain to you, we do not have that. Any manager will tell you the same thing.
- I read on the Internet that in your shop several times already bought with the return of wasps, and everything was fine.
- Without Windows, you can buy if the model originally went without windows.
- The fact is that the Windows license agreement states that you can refuse to accept the agreement and I can ask the seller to refund the funds paid for the rights to use the OS, along with the computer.
- I understand, but we do not have such a “service” now on Windows 8. That is, if there is some kind of system, it remains. You can demolish yourself.
- I myself can take down. But understand, I do not want to pay what I do not need. Connect with a more competent operator.
- I can connect you with any person, he will tell you the same.
- I explain to you once again: in accordance with the law, I have every right to waive the rights to os. I honestly did not expect to hear this in your store. I thought you had everything in order with the law. Then can your email to communicate in writing?
- mail@notik.ru
- I called the manufacturer, the company Lenovo. They said that if the seller is not aware of this procedure, then the seller should call them to request instructions from them. Their phone ...
- Write a letter.
- Good.
- All the best.


Monday October 28 13:37
Wow!
protocol
- the same beginning
- Thanks for waiting. There is no such service in our service.
- Why? This “service” is defined by the manufacturer. More precisely, it is not a “service”, but a procedure. This procedure must be performed by any store. I called the Lenovo service center, they said that if the seller does not know how this procedure is going on, the store should call Lenovo and receive instructions. I can say their phone.
- Just one second. Clarified information regarding this situation. Our store does not participate in this promotion. Compensation takes place only on the ground, or on its own according to the same instruction.
- So you can only buy from Windows?
- Yes.
- Where can I find instructions to act on it myself?
- Request precisely in lenovo instruction.
- Thank.
- It's my pleasure.

Made a laptop order. In the comments to the order asked the seller to familiarize themselves with the procedure for returning windows. Called the manager. I told him once again that I was going to refuse the pre-installed small software. The manager said that for this you have to go to the service and claims department, write a statement and they will return the money.

Return procedure


Came to the store. Bought.Windu did not even turn on, booted from a flash drive. Passed to the service department and claims (he is in the same building). When the turn came to me, I said that we would draw up a waiver of Windows. The man was surprised, said that he didn’t know such a thing and called the head of the department (I corresponded with her).
She said that they would not return anything to me. The written statement about the refusal to accept refused, saying that our refund is not being made, and this statement means nothing to them. As a result, I was asked to write a complaint. I wrote to the mournful book that I intend to apply to the Federal Service, and promised to send the claim to the address.
The next day, Alyona called and said that Lenovo had told them the rules of procedure. This conversation turned out to be very interesting. But I will not give it in order not to overload the article.

For a refund, I had to take a look: a sales receipt, a statement, a Windows sticker, a serial sticker. I sent all this to Alena's post. She sent these photos to suppliers, and they in turn in Lenovo. From Lenovo it was necessary to find out how much money I need to return. After receiving confirmation from them, the answer goes down the chain.
The answer did not come all. I asked several times what state the question is in. It took about a week.
I prepared a claim that I intended to send them to juradres. And literally a minute before going to the post office, a letter arrived that you could come to collect money.

On November 13, 2013, I arrived at the store, gave the original disclaimer, on which the Windows sticker was pasted. I wrote an application for repair, where I specified a Windows 8 preset in the malfunction, and in the request I asked to return the money for it. There was still more paperwork.
I went to the cashier with this, signed that the requirement was met, I have no complaints, crossed out Windows 8 in the check and gave me the money.
Plus, I received a gift flash drive for 8 gigabytes from a note. At least some encouragement for choosing an expensive store =)

What to do next


So, I spent 3 weeks on it. The result, of course, is positive, but not everyone is ready to spend so much time on socially useful work. Further it will be easier and easier, so I ask all habrovchan and visitors of the site: please, if you do not need windows, do not pay tribute to the sweet. Try to get things done like me. On the positive side, it can be noted that I have become much better oriented in the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights. This knowledge will not be superfluous. See, more than once will come in handy. I can also say I pulled one store on the White List.

Next time I buy a computer, I'll go to another store. And I will definitely make this return. If someone is now planning to perform the same operation as me, then go to the Topcomputer. They must be put in place for rudeness to the buyer.
Of course, it is advisable to make our history public so that we all see the result.

Now about the complaint to the supervisory authorities. Lenovo never notifies consumers that it is possible to refuse Windows. On the website of their store there is old age (outdated news) about the return procedure, in which there is no talk about windows 8. This was first decided to use in the service department in Notik. I have so far changed my mind to file a complaint with the FAS on Lenovo, since it is the only manufacturer who has determined the return procedure from the seller. It would be better to file a complaint against all other manufacturers who drive the consumer to the SC.
