- Extract n1ctm04w.zip and run usbfmtpw.exe
- Format the USB Drive
- Disconnect the USB Drive
- Extract u1u.zip (password for the zip is LenovoUone) and run u1.exe
- Reconnect the USB drive and hit run.
- Once the USB is created boot the USB Key and follow on screen instructions.
UPDATE (30/07/2021) [Try this if above method fails.]
I have Included a ZIP file containing all the script that Lenovo Uone tool uses to make the process simpler.- Format the USB Drive with usbfmtpw.exe as usual.
- Extract the contents of the LenovoUone.zip to Root of the USB drive.
- Reboot and Choose your USB in UEFI Boot Options and follow on screen steps.
