Hello NotLarry,
We have updated the subject and/or description to remove any personal information and to make the issue/request more specific.
For a more detailed information on compatibility with vPro will be with Lenovo.
And yes Lenovo can disable the vPro support by not adding all necessary options on the BIOS.
If the Lenovo Specs says that it supports i5-7300U with vPro then it should.
But also the BIOS requires some additional options:
- Intel® VT-x capable BIOS(required; disabled by default, can be enabled)
- Intel® VT-d capable BIOS(required; disabled by default, can be enabled)
- Intel® TXT capable BIOS(required)
- TPM 1.2 Capable BIOS(Can be removed to meet certain import restrictions)
The best option will be to contact Lenovo Support to ensure that the CPU is compatible and the BIOS.
If there is anything else we can help please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Henry A.
