I got a new lenovo laptop, and it came with windows 10 home. My hang up is, do I install windows 10 pro myself and misout on the lenovo features and McAfee? I really like the RDP, disk management, and other perks of windows 10 pro, but I don't know if its worth losing the built in support and features with lenovo.

So, lenovo users, are the features worth it in the long run?

You can just download the lenovo programs/drivers from their website.

I haven't used any of Lenovo's pre-installed tools on my thinkpad and I did a clean install. There is a package you can install off of Lenovo's website to get those pre-installed tools back.
