Most guides will tell you to do a Reset using Windows 10 Recovery tools. I was also surprised that I couldn’t find a comprehensive, yet simple guide on how to do this. However, times have changed, so if you haven’t done this in a few years, you may need some pointers. So naturally, you’ll want to reformat and install a clean copy of Windows.
And if you’re like me, you’ll be terrified when McAfee automatically installs a Chrome extension, annoyed by Dell pop-ups and reminders, and unsatisfied with system performance with all those processes hogging resources. If you’ve just purchased a Dell (or similar) computer, you probably won’t be surprised to find it loaded with bloatware such as Dell utilities and McAfee AV.
