General Comments

 * Report by Sigurd Fastenrath
 * OS/2 Warp 4.52
 * OS/2 Warp 4.52 was installed by removing the Hard drive and cloning an image into it with DFSee.


 * The Thinkpad 25 (based on the Thinkpad 470) has an option to disable the Touchpad in BIOS.


 * The HDD was preinstalled with Windows 10 and it has GPT layout.
 * Secureboot has to be deactivated, UEFI has to be switched to Legacy


 * The M.2 NVMe SSD hard disk that came with the machine did not had OS/2 drivers at the time of this machine was released. It was replaced with a M.2 SATA card, the 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SDD M.2 2280 to have it working on OS/2, but please remember that not all M.2 NVMe adapters have SATA compatibility.


 * ArcaOS 5.0.6
 * ArcaOS 5.0.6 installation via USB Stick possible, one has to wipe the SSD though.


 * NVMe SSD hard disk was later tested and reported as working with Arca's NVMe driver.
