Lenovo update on HP G4

Call me foolhardy but in a moment of madness I did the following

1) Intel 'are you vulnerable' tool.... Answer "Yes" i5 skylake. HP G4 250

2) Nothing on HP site but for HP enterprise servers. Massive list of 'do this, then do that' - these massive throbbing server machines only.

3) I download the Lenovo update for this from the linked page. Run it..

4) Intel 'are you vulnerable' tool.... Answer. "No. Not any more"

I know it says that the drives have to be signed by each manufactuer but this is the same Skylake processer as is in all machines surely? Was I just lucky? Possibly, (main laptop machine too!) Advisable for all? Prob not...............

Just my experience
