Good stuff. I’ve been using 7 since the CPP came out. My UPEK device was detected but didn’t have the driver. However, 7 told me where to get it I just had to do a little digging. It gave me the same URLS. I set up my fingerprints in Control Panel instead of Lenovo’s program and it works as advertised.
