Removing all software

pop7585 · February 25, 2016

I have bought out my school tablet, and need to remove their bloatware that is there even after a factory reset. Any ideas, I don't want to reformat the drive because the windows key sticker is really smudged. And when I say bloatware I mean 80+ programs.

I assume this is a windows tablet.

Is it possible to reinstall windows with a flash drive on a tablet?

You don't need to put in the key again, it should be automatically recognized.

Your second option is to spend an 45 minutes or so deleting the programs you don't want.

Personally, that's what I'd do. Maybe a bit time consuming but it'll work.
