    Which Lenovo - Thinkpad & Non Thinkpad series give options for Windows Pro preinstalled when ordering?

    I've mostly used Thinkpads in the US and so getting them was not an issue.

    I might have to order/ help get 1-2 portables (laptop/ 2 in 1 etc or so) for a small team in India. Thinkpad prices here are prohibitive.

    I am curious what series of Lenovo machines allow for PRO upgrades pre installed when ordering?

    I am guessing E series Thinkpads do, what others - Thinkpad or Non thinkpad series?

    PS: Also, prefer to get 1080p or more.

    I already have the T & X series and am familiar with them, as I've mentioned above. Also, they are pricey and hard to procure in India.. so..

    I was hoping to hear more about other / non Thinkpad series products.
