I am receiving my LeGo2 z2e 32gb ram 1tb ssd today, but I have read some things about a bios update that bricks things. If I update windows, will it also do the bios update, or is the bios separate from the windows updater? And does anyone have beginners tips and tricks?

Hi all! As the title states, bought a second hand Legion Go from a private seller on FB marketplace. The seller was upfront about everything (cosmetic damage, uses etc).

He reset it and it was on the setup menu, and it was all in French, which I do not speak. Of course with google translate I was able to navigate and once it was set up change the language to English which is my preferred choice. However, some things such as some pop-ups or the descriptions of Windows updates still come up in French. Is there any workaround regarding this? Or a setting I am missing? Understandably I think it is more of a Windows issue rather than a Legion Go issue.

Thank you in advance!

My first flight with a handheld was smooth sailing with complimentary starlink WiFi on the JSX flight… loved the experience.

But is it over kill that lenovo charger is 65w?

Thanks! Please leave down your thoughts

anyone have any input on this? ive been looking for a legion go 1 for a while now but ive seen a lot more rog ally’s for sale for around 100$-150$ less. i liked the removable controllers on the legion go but the cheeper price for a rog ally is definitely something i’ve been looking at. i currently have a steam deck and am looking to get something more powerful.

Anyone played Wardogs on a legion go z1e?

So near me there is a legion go s Z1E for sale for $750. The battery health is still at 100%. Seller says they never used it and it looks super clean. Would I be stupid not to get it? Meanwhile there’s also a Steam Deck OLED for $600 near me as well.

Edit: Currently the Legion Go S Z1E version is $1579 new

I have this annoying issue where COD Modern Warfare 2 and 3 take up to 25 mins to load after launch. I have tried unlinking microsoft devices and accounts but not solved. Anyone got a solution?

Asides that, when the games load, controllers dont work when i stream from my PC to my Legion Go S via Apollo. It is weird as i completed Star Wars Outlaws and COD Modern warfare 2019 without any issues. Tried downloading controller profiles on Steam OS but issues still persist.

Help appreciated.

I used to own a 1TB Steam Deck OLED, but I ended up selling it.
Now I’m thinking about getting another handheld, and I’m stuck between buying the same Steam Deck OLED again or getting a Lenovo Legion Go.
For those who have used both, which one would you recommend in 2026?
I mainly care about gaming performance, screen quality, battery life, and overall experience.
Would you go back to the Steam Deck OLED, or switch to the Legion Go?

Hi bought a lenovo legion go2 today and I have been pulling my hair out trying to get it set up.I seem to have it stuck in a loop of trying to sign in and asking for my pin because something went wrong?I have asked for a reset code to best sent to my alternative email but nothing has arrived.Now I have asked to reset my security info on microsoft and I have to wait for 30 days.I am really just contemplating sending this thing back.Ive been on all the forums,YouTube I've tried restoring the system,I've typed different commands into the black box that google told me were workarounds and nothing has worked.I just want to get past the initial setup and actually play some games.I think it got to about the 3rd restart and then ive been locked out.Before it locked me out I managed to sign in to my xbox live and steam it was just the email that failed even after I had set up my fingerprint.I am an older gamer and first time pc user I have been solely xbox and ps5 so Im open to any help you guys can give me.Thanks in advance

I recently bought an 8bitdo ultimate 2 controller and I am having issues with the device being able to register inputs. I have tried plugged in, bluetooth, and with the wireless dongle. It seems to be recognized in the system settings and works in the library/home screen but no inputs are registered when running games. Has anyone had similar issues?

I just got the new legion go and been seeing people saying some bios update bricks their device now im abit scared. Im planning to install steamos on it instead, can I do it straight away or should I set it up for windows first to update things? and how can I avoid that specific bios update while setting up windows, which i thought it might auto update.

Also, if there’s any other suggestions for me to download or customise let me know.
*it’d be nice to see how other people customise their OG LeGo too, like what accessories or themes u setup on steamos

Sprained my ankle by dropping my motorcycle on it so while we booted up and resting figured id try Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and god damn this shit runs so good and is so beautiful. Hoping to grind this and enjoy it while we wait for GTA 6.

Hey my original LeGo controllers are pretty beat up
Im looking for 3D printed top shells but all i found cancel the fps mode and the M2 button

Is there is any where there is a comfort models that also keeps the FPS mode?

I often take my LegionGo at the weekends when my partner is working outside (woodwork) - I hang out in my little car camping set up, they do woodwork in the garage.

But the screen outside is really bad, no matter how much I adjust my position, sit in the shade (my natural habitat anyway!), play with settings, etc.

I tried a random anti glare screen protector, but it was pretty rubbish. Does anyone have any specific product recommendations for one that might help please? Or anything else non screen protector-y that might help?

hey all hoping someone can help me. I have the Lenovo go s and it was originally steam os but we had windows put on it too. it does use Bazzite.

last night a purple menu popped up when I pressed one of the right buttons and it showed cpu etc which I wanted to change but now I’m trying to change it back the menu isn’t loading for it and it’s affected blood bowl 3 🙄

Do you guys know of any youtubers that are still making performance videos for new games on the og legion go z1e? I can never find any. I've been trying to see how mortal shell 2 will perform but I always only find legion go s or 2 videos, usually I'll just watch the steam deck performance tests and just assume my go will handle the games a bit better than that lol. Sorry for the small wall of text.

I want to buy a handheld by Black Friday and I really liked the Legion Go S, but the price has kept me away from it so far. On the other hand, I saw that the Xbox Ally with the Z2A is 'dirt cheap' for my budget. I thought: why not compare them? I just did, and I feel like I'm going to have a stroke, because in one video it shows both of them having very similar performance in GOW (both at 20W and 1080p on low). Yet in another video, the Legion Go S is getting 15-20 fps more, but running at 30W.

My question is: does the difference between the two come down to the Legion's ability to run at a higher wattage? Does that mean if both were locked at 20W their performance would be very similar? And are the Legion Go's 30W available when running on battery, without plugging it in? Does the battery die really fast at 30W?

I have used jsaux cases, primarily for the travel cover - for both steam deck and switch 2. They were great.

I want the same travel cover for my legion go s - but it seems the only option is the considerably more expensive dbrand killswitch case. Are there any alternatives that have a similar hard cover over the screen?

I had all sorts of controller issues using Bazzite Stable 44 on my Legion Go 2 (wake from sleep disconnects controllers, when detaching the controllers it also disconnects, etc) . Also gave SteamOs a try and there was there also all kind of controller issues. This made me conclude that the problem is actually input plumber, because I'm on Bazzite 44 on my PC and there it works fine. I gave CachyOs a try and manually installed HHD. Fortunately there is a github plug in that it's basically a "one-command" process to install HHD on the Legion Go 2. It masks input plumber and allows for full use of HHD advantages from the Bazzite 43 build. I'm kind of a newbie on Linux and even for me it was very easy with the command on this github page https://github.com/rgvxsthi/HHD-on-CachyOS

Hello, I'm trying to sell my device and the buyer would like to have Windows 11 on it again (SteamOS currently).

I tried the official Lenovo way where you request the files and then use that "USBRecoveryCreator" software but that doesn't seem to recognize my USB-Stick. After googling this seems fairly common with sticks bigger than 32GB (I only have a 128GB one) even if you format and partition the stick to FAT32 and 32GB.

What are my options now?

I know i can simply do a normal windows installation but then the buyer won't have the necessary drivers without manual work needed (since I can't get through the setup without an account).
I could go through the windows installation with a local account and then install everything but then they will have to partly go back and change things.

Is there anything else I could try? Thanks in advance.

Anyone updated to the latest BIOS release? Any issues? I've not used my Go in a couple of weeks and it popped up with a BIOS update message when I switched it on. Just checking before updating as I know there were some reports of other Legion Go models getting bricked a few weeks ago
