New Windows systems tend to include a lot of bloatware, apps that are installed on a promo basis to entice you to buy them. Most just take up space and can effect overall performance. It's been a standard procedure with myself to uninstall those first, then install OS updates, and then make my own restore discs.
I am in the process of getting a new computer. How would I know what to uninstall so I didn't have all that bloat? I am afraid that I could be erasing items that are required to just run the computer. I know what I want to run and I will load those purchased programs. Is there a program, a place, a book, or whatever that tells what items are necessary to run Windows 8 or even describe what each item does? How do I know where to even find the location in the computer to delete these bloatware items? I am pretty computer illiterate.
Thank you,
