Getting rid of bloatware

[sdt7618]

Is there an easy way, or is it just one programme at a time.

New dell laptop arrived today and fully expect it to be filled with junk.:angry:

It's been a while since I've done that to a new laptop.
You can try this, although I'm not sure how good it is.

PC's are easy if a bit time consuming, I've a Fire tablet I'd love to de-bloat but I think I'd need to root it first NEVER buy a FIRE!!!

Thanks guys, looks like a few good options

Can you not just install a regular OEM windows (I assume)?

You could try getting into the start menu and stopping stuff you do not want loading at boot.

What I end up doing is opening Add/Remove software and going down the list and getting rid of anything which looks like some crap I never wanted and isn't integral to the OS. Ccleaner is good, as someone mentioned, but I use it to clear the registry of remaining files once I've uninstalled all the bloatware. It's been a while since I've used it though, does it have a 'remove bloatware' option?

When you buy a computer/phone/tablet it sometimes comes with preinstalled software which no one actually wants. Samsung a terrible for this and often have their own versions of software, like iTunes or Chrome etc., but work really badly and for some reason eat up RAM. Most people try and uninstall these sh*tty programs.

I think it's a chain of shops, usually next to Greggs.
