TL;DR: Is 'Lenovo QY Win8.1 Driver DVD V1.8 (as it says on the disc) a setup/install disc or something different?
I've been having issues resetting my PC. It originally came with Windows 8.1 but I did the free update. I always fill up my PC with crap that makes it super slow, so I'm used to just resetting my PC.
I did this a few times when I still had Windows 8.1 and there was no problems, ever since I updated to Windows 10, I haven't successfully been able to reset my PC.
So, my Lenovo E50 PC came with the disc: "Lenovo QY Win8.1 Driver DVD V1.8", I thought that was the install disc so I left it back in the box because the computer was already installed right out of the box.
Recently, due to all of the issues with resetting my PC, I thought I should just use the 'install disc', I found it and put it into my computer. Restarted the PC & it booted up Windows 10. I open BIOS & make SATA 2 (my DVD port) the highest priority when I start my PC, nothing changed. When I open the boot menu, I only have SATA 1 (my hard drive) which contains 'Windows Boot Manager', and 2 realtek options. (obviously not my DVD drive).
So, now I've tried all of the solutions I found googling my problem, I thought to myself, is this really the install disc? Like it's called Windows 8.1 driver. Just to be sure it was problems with reading the dvd, I booted back up into Windows, opened File Explorer and in My PC, the disc was recognised.
So, what is this DVD? Is it the startup disc or something different?
