It sounds like you have been supplied with a laptop which is not supplied with the normal copy of MS Windows. This normally only done by request when the purchaser does not intend using Windows or has a retail copy of their own to install. If you expected the pc to be supplied with an operating system other than free-dos (eg,Windows) you should take the matter up with the supplier of your Lenovo.

What is a g50-70 and what do you mean by "open" - do you mean physically open it as in open the lid?
