Hi all,
I am facing the following issue. I have bought a HP laptop, which is filled with HP bloatware and the like. I have now manually removed all of it using the uninstall feature, because I have read that this may increase performance.
Now my questions(s):
1) I was advised to do a complete clean install of Windows 10, using a downloaded setup file and boot from USB. Is there any advantage to this, compared to simply uninstalling each unneeded app?
2) In case I go for the reinstall, is there a way to back-up an installation file for the factory version of the OS, including all the bloatware? So I can revert to that if needed (e.g., when selling the laptop etc.)
Thanks a lot!
