A brand-new Windows PC, fully updated and unsullied by crapware, is a wonderful thing. Sadly, very few people ever get to experience it, because so many PC manufacturers bundle loads of junk software with the computers they sell. Instead of the high-performance machine you thought you were getting, you get a computer bogged-down by stuff you don’t need or want. If you bought a high-end computer, you may not notice right away. Speedy hardware generally covers up the drain on system resources. But sooner than it should, that extra baggage will make your high-end PC feel underpowered.
Don’t let that happen to you. The next time you buy a new computer, clean out the crap and set it up properly right from the start. This guide will walk you through the process.
(We do not have a similar guide for Macs because most of the important things you need to do to set up a Mac are covered in our 4-Step Security Upgrade. You should absolutely get that guide if you own a Mac or a Windows PC.)
