On Monday I hope to collect my new Acer Aspire 5742 computer.It has an i5 processor, 4Gb RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit.
I have read quite a few reviews and nearly all of then complain about the unnecessary programs preloaded onto the computer.
The computer (I believe) comes with OS, drivers and other programs preloaded onto a hidden partition which will mean that I do not get separate Windows 7 discs.
What is the best way to get completely rid of these unwanted programs?
If I just delete them I cannot be sure that everything has been removed.
Can I use the hidden partition to reload just a selective content or would I have to take it all.
I do have a separate DVD for Windows & which I could use but this is only 32 bit whereas the laptop has 4 GB ram which is better utilised with the preloaded 64 bit version.
