Hi all, I just recently received my Asus n56vz laptop. It came installed with a bunch of bloatware, and windows 8 was preinstalled.
Now I want to do a fresh install of Windows but I can't because the laptop didn't come with an installation disk. I tried clicking "remove everything and reinstall windows) option in Windows 8, but after the lengthy 'wipe' and install, the bloatware remained.
I tried a windows 8 setup file and put in the Key for my installed copy from my bios, which didn't work (assuming its a volume serial).
What can I do? I want to wipe everything, delete the stupid partition and reinstall windows 8 for a clean start. I tried booting from a cd and usb but can't seem to change the boot option...
any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers
