Just got a y510p, what should I delete

[Sovelin]

So I just got my Lenovo y510p today, and wow does it have a lot of bloatware. I was just wondering what I should delete, what I should leave, and what needs additional removal tools (like McAfee) to remove.

Hey sorry to not provide an answer but.. I am thinking about purchasing a y510p myself. I would be maxing out the preset specs and get the dual card model.

What made you purchase this computer? How do you like it?

Download PC decrapifier on http://pcdecrapifier.com and it will purge most of it for you. If it prompts you to choose what you want to remove, get rid of everything you don't really recognize. Anything other than drivers should be entirely removed from new laptops.

If you need an anti-virus, get AVG Free.

TY, will def try this out this weekend. For now I just deleted virtually everything that wasn't Intel, microsoft, or what looked like a driver. Windows Defender is fine for anti-virus. This computer is really only for gaming, and is secondary for that.

What construkt said, I got that same $899 model. It just came in yesterday, and I haven't really had the chance to play with it much due to work and school. This weekend I'll play around with it more. But I chose it since the power of this thing really can't be matched by any other laptop without paying quite a bit more. I've only run LoL on it, which ran great. Will try something more intense this weekend.

Personally, I wiped the drive and id a clean install. Her are a few things that might come in handy.
