PC Cleanup Help!

[Mvard]

Im looking for a program to uninstall a metric butt-ton of bloatware on my system. I just upgraded to windows 10 and well.. there is a ton of stuff that i want to get rid of to clean it up. I wanted to originally format and reinstall but i dont have an actual 10 Key as it was an upgrade from 8.1. So what I'm asking is there a RELIABLE/SAFE program to uninstall programs in mass??

 

thanks for the help!!

xdo it manually i find it much more effective

Well, you could use CCleaner to uninstall them all manually.

 

Though the easiest way is just reinstall windows lol.

Reinstall OS, and just put the files you need like music/pictures/documents or anything onto a External Drive or USB. I find that this way, there's a performance gain

search bar> disc management> format drive

Ehhh, I reinstall the OS as a whole, why? Takes literally 5 minutes to install the OS from plugging the drive in to Setting up, hell most of my Music/Docs/Pictures are either backed up automatically or are already in the external drive. On both SSDs, there are only games and some jiggy jiggy stuff. Also depends on the hardware you have tho, if you have high end stuff, it would take a while for it to slow down.

So basically format with a clean install of windows 8 then re-upgrade to 10? (this is an hp laptop btw i.e all of the bloatware)

HP Laptop with all the junk? If it really matters, reinstall Windows 8 as a whole then upgrade. Find a way to get another product key I guess, maybe from DreamSpark if you're enrolled in a University or buy it.

Meh, okay... is there a way to do it without reinstalling 8 then upgrading to 10??

Formatting. Not really sure if formatting will keep all the HP crap tho. I had a Dell Craptop before  that actually had an i5 in it "surprisingly" and it actually didn't have preinstalled junk.

You can install Belarc adviser to get your windows product key and then you can do a clean install.
