FAQs
How do I update the drivers and firmware for my Legion Go?

Can I use the Legion Go as a regular PC?
Yes, the Lenovo Legion Go runs Windows 11 Home, allowing you to install and run most PC applications and software, not just games. You can connect peripherals like a mouse, keyboard, and external monitor for a more traditional desktop experience.
What is the FPS mode and how does it work?

Is the display G-Sync or FreeSync compatible?
The display supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium, which works in conjunction with the AMD Radeon Graphics to provide smooth, tear-free visuals.
What is the warranty period for the Lenovo Legion Go?
Warranty details can vary by region and retailer. Typically, Lenovo offers a standard one-year limited warranty for their consumer devices, but it's recommended to check the specific warranty terms provided at the time of purchase or on the official Lenovo support website.
