    I just got the Lenovo Y580 and I was wondering, how can I find out if Windows was installed on the SSD? I read somewhere that it is automatically installed on the SSD. Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks.

    The default configuration is supposed to be that the OS is installed on the HDD and the system automatically manages what gets put on the mSSD for quick access. You shouldn't see your mSSD in my computer but it should be listed in the device manager. Thats what my research indicated.
