Which laptops this page covers
The IdeaPad 3 14IIL05 and 15IIL05 are from the same IdeaPad 3 IIL05 generation, but the exact configuration can differ by region and model number. Confirm your machine type before installing a BIOS or model-specific package.
- IdeaPad 3 14IIL05: the 14-inch model, machine type 81WD.
- IdeaPad 3 15IIL05: the 15-inch model, machine type 81WE.
Do not mix up model generations. A name ending in IIL05 is not automatically compatible with drivers for similar names such as 15IML05 or 15ARE05. Match the complete model and machine type first.
Before you start
- Check your model. Press Windows + R, type msinfo32 and read the System Model line. The machine type (81WD or 81WE) is also printed on the label under the laptop.
- Install only what matches your laptop. Some packages are for specific configurations, and the notes under each driver say who needs it.
- Starting from a clean install? Download the Wi-Fi driver on another computer and copy it over on a USB drive, so you can get online first.
Heads-up: Microsoft ended regular support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, so it no longer receives standard security updates. If you keep using Windows 10, keep your antivirus current and avoid untrusted sites and downloads. Lenovo also lists these laptops as End of Development Support, so do not expect new driver versions.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, touchpad and fingerprint
These packages are not in the tables above, because the hardware varies by configuration. Check Lenovo's full driver list for your machine type and download only what your laptop has:
- Full driver list for the 14IIL05 (type 81WD)
- Full driver list for the 15IIL05 (type 81WE)
- Lenovo fingerprint driver page, only if your laptop has a fingerprint reader. Check the Windows version listed on that page.
Wireless and Bluetooth are separate packages on Lenovo's site, so choose them by the adapter shown in Device Manager. Do not swap in an unrelated driver just because the maker is the same.
Recommended installation order
Installing in a sensible order avoids missing-device warnings and repeat reboots. Restart when an installer asks you to.
- Chipset and platform components (Intel chipset and thermal solution on Windows 10, then the Management Engine and storage drivers): Windows 11 · Windows 10.
- Graphics: Windows 11 · Windows 10.
- Audio: Windows 11 · Windows 10.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for your adapters, from the full driver list.
- Card reader if you use memory cards: Windows 11.
- BIOS update: only if you need it, as a separate step, with the AC adapter connected and no other installer running: Windows 11 list · Windows 10 list.
How to identify your exact Lenovo model
Look for the model and machine type on the bottom label, the packaging, the BIOS information screen or Lenovo Support. Then compare:
- Series and model: IdeaPad 3 14IIL05 or IdeaPad 3 15IIL05. This separates the IIL05 family from other IdeaPad 3 generations.
- Machine type: 81WD (14-inch) or 81WE (15-inch). Lenovo uses it to find the right support resources.
- Operating system: Windows 11 64-bit or Windows 10 64-bit. Driver packages are specific to the Windows version.
Tip: Anything marked with a yellow warning icon in Device Manager is a missing driver. Right-click it, open Properties → Details → Hardware Ids, and use those IDs to work out which package it belongs to.
Troubleshooting common driver problems
Wi-Fi is missing after Windows installation
Check Device Manager for an unknown network device. If the laptop has no connection, download the wireless package on another computer, copy it over on a USB drive and install it, then restart.
Audio is not working
Open Device Manager and look under Sound, video and game controllers. If the Realtek device is missing or shows an error, install the Realtek audio package for your Windows version and restart.
Windows uses Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
This usually means the Intel graphics driver has not been installed yet. Install the Intel graphics package for your Windows version and restart.
The Windows installer cannot see the drive
Some setup environments need an Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver before the installer can see the storage device. Use the IRST package Lenovo lists for your Windows version and model family.
Should I install every driver Lenovo lists?
No. Driver lists include optional and configuration-specific packages. Install what matches your hardware, your Windows version and what Device Manager shows as missing.
Official Lenovo resources
Lenovo Support is the primary reference for checking that a package belongs to your exact machine type. Open the driver list for your model, and compare the package name and version with the tables above:
- IdeaPad 3 14IIL05, type 81WD: Lenovo drivers and software
- IdeaPad 3 15IIL05, type 81WE: Lenovo drivers and software
Frequently asked questions
Are the IdeaPad 3 14IIL05 and 15IIL05 drivers the same?
Some Lenovo packages cover both models, and the page titles of the Windows 11 packages also name the IdeaPad 3 17IIL05 and V17-IIL. Others are tied to a specific machine type, which is 81WD for the 14IIL05 and 81WE for the 15IIL05. Follow the compatibility information on each Lenovo page.
Does this page have Windows 11 drivers?
Yes. The Windows 11 (64-bit) list has the Intel MEI, Intel storage (IRST), Intel graphics, Realtek audio and Realtek card reader packages, plus the BIOS update. No separate chipset package is listed for Windows 11 here, so check the full list on Lenovo Support if you need it.
Are Windows 10 drivers still available?
Yes. The Windows 10 (64-bit) list has the Intel chipset, MEI, thermal solution, graphics and Realtek audio packages, plus the BIOS update. These are older packages that Lenovo continues to host. Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025.
Why do the Download buttons open a Lenovo page instead of starting a download?
Each button opens Lenovo's own support page for that package, where you start the download. That way you always get Lenovo's current file and see its compatibility notes. Nothing is re-hosted on this site.
Why does Lenovo mark these laptops as End of Development Support?
It means Lenovo is no longer developing new software updates for the product, but the existing support pages and downloads normally stay available. Expect no new driver versions, and use the packages that are listed.
Can I use a driver from another IdeaPad 3 model?
Do not assume compatibility from the IdeaPad 3 name alone. A model ending in IIL05 is not automatically compatible with packages for similar names such as 15IML05 or 15ARE05, which use different platforms. Match the full model and machine type first.
Why are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, touchpad and fingerprint drivers not in the tables?
The package list this page is based on covers the items shown in the tables. Wireless, Bluetooth, camera and input hardware vary by configuration, so for those use Lenovo's full driver list for your machine type, linked below the tables.
Do I need the storage (IRST) driver?
Usually only if the Windows installer cannot see your drive during setup, or if you want Intel's storage driver after installing. Use the IRST package Lenovo lists for your Windows version.
Why are the audio version numbers so long?
Lenovo names the audio package after its components. The version string includes the Realtek driver version and the Intel Smart Sound (ISST) version, so it looks longer than a normal version number. It is the version Lenovo lists.
Is it safe to update the BIOS?
A BIOS update is safe when done carefully. Connect the AC adapter, close other programs and do not turn the laptop off or interrupt the update. Press Windows + R, type msinfo32 and read the BIOS Version line first. If it already shows EMCN60WW, you do not need to run the update again.
