Hey guys,
I just bought a Lenovo Ideapad y510p. The boot time isn't as fast as I was expecting it to be, although after I ran a windows update it got better (around 30sec.)
I've been reading around on the internet and a lot of people have said that performance improves a lot after they get rid of all the bloatware and unnecessary apps, but NO ONE has specified what bloatware they removed so I don't really know what I should be getting rid of.
(Although I deleted McAffee right off the bat)
Also the Apps start page (or Pokki, or Start tile page or whatever you call it, the desktop with all the app tiles on it) has a TON of useless looking junk on it. I don't know if all that junk is the same from computer to computer, so normally I would post a screenshot but I can't find MS Paint or a Windows 8 equivalent to paste the screenshot to.
So basically I'm asking, what should I get rid of and what should I keep?
(I can post a screenshot if someone tells me how to find Paint)
Also, does anyone know any tips on how to optimize performance on this thing? Or anything else I should do to get this thing set up right off the bat?
