Dell (and other) add-ons
Hello Everybody;
I recently received an email from Dell about my Desktop XPS 8700 having an issue with my hard drive. They said it was failing and three days later I got a package by Purolator with a new 2 Terabyte drive and a USB stick.
When I get it installed and the original Windows 8.1 installed again, I can just go ahead an upgrade to Windows 10 again. However, my question is, when I'm done, can I delete all things "Dell" from my computer. By that I mean all of their software that gives updates about the machine and other stuff that I really don't want. What I'd like to do is simply turn it into a computer that would be the same as if I'd built it myself.
Do I really need all of this hand holding and babysitting from Dell? I'm tired of them and their software and emails and intrusions and, and, and I think you get the idea.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and comments on the matter, so thank you for any help you can offer.
All the best
Bud
