    Greetings and salutations,

    I recently purchased a Thinkpad X220 and I have a few questions now that I´ve recived it. I hope you will help me with this=)

    1 - How do you change brightness. I can find any buttons that work, I found some reference online that said you needed to hold down Fn and then press the left and right key. Nothing happens.

    2 - I purchased the laptop without an operatingsystem and there were no discs with drivers of any kind that came with the laptop. Are there any programs or drivers specifically for the X220 that I should download. Or will the camera, wifi and so on work fine as is?

    Thank you=)

    To change the brightness you'd use the Fn + End or Home keys.

    You can download all the drivers for the X220 on Lenovo's website. Windows may have some of the drivers already, but they may be outdated.
