Hi Toms HARDWARE

I am thinking of upgrading from windows 8.1 to windows 10.
So if i upgrade and choose clean install, would all my OEM Bloatware that came from factory also come with windows 10? because there still is some apps that i would like to use, like PowerDVD and camera apps and so on....

Kind Regards
Tobias

P.S. What do you exactly call those apps that comes from factory? Found out it was called OEM Bloatware?

After you upgrade from 8.1 to 10, it will be just like your system is now, except with Win 10 instead of 8.1
You can then get an ISO of WIn 10, and do a full, clean, reinstall if desired. No bloatware, just the OS.

bloatware is pretty accurate.
clean install will get rid of all apps.

so I guess that I can make a clean install on windows 8.1, so I get the bloatware, and then upgrade to windows 10 and just upgrading?
