Installing Clean Win10 on new laptop?
Due to an untimely accident (my wife dropped my laptop on the kitchen ceramic floor, so early Fathers Day!), I'm looking for an inexpensive replacement.
My old laptop was due for a replacement anyways, so I wasn't too upset.
I found a good deal on HP 15-af131dx Notebook with Win10 and some other pre-installed software.
2 questions:
#1. Can I re-install a clean version of Win10, without all of the pre-installed stuff? (a link would be VERY appreciated).
(I've installed MANY clean OS's before, but not Win10 yet, any gotcha's?)
#2. What are good maintenance / security Apps to install, post-fresh OS? (I typically install Malware-bytes, MS Security Essentials, and a couple others I can't remember off the top of my head)
Thanks!
