what bloat ware should i be on the look for

[jonfunko]

so i recently have purchased, a acer aspire gaming tower and its great it fits my needs just fine, and makes for an excellent couch gaming machine, but with this being a pre built machine, i was wondering what some of the bloat ware is that i should be on the lookout for to remove from my new pc.

anything prebuilt with windows 8 and higher has the product key inside of it's uefi and so it will auto activate

always

 

never had to put in a product key with my T480 that came with W10 pro, or my grandma's prebuilt acer with W10 home, or my asus shitbook with W10 home, 

there's a reason why there's no more product key sticker on the device .. 

 

if you did need the product key, it's in UEFI, or on a sticker..

Keep in mind that Windows 10 (if that is what you are using) comes with it's own bloat. Even if you install a fresh copy it will include several stupid games and a few other pieces of software you did not ask for. Just make sure to uninstall anything you don't want to free up the drive space.

Thank you for adding that.

Just clean install. Done.

 

And don't forget windows 10 bloatwares

You should always clean install when you buy a prebuilt PC.
