Reinstall Windows and Remove Dell Recovery Partition?
I have a Dell XPS 15 in production and expected to arrive in a few weeks. I know it will come with bloatware and I'd rather either do a Windows 10 refresh or simply reinstall from scratch than do manual uninstalls and have traces left in registry and elsewhere. If Dell still does what I recall there will be a partition for Dell Recovery that I believe is accessible from the BIOS. However, is it worth keeping or is reinstalling Windows from scratch, and wiping the entire drive a more reliable and higher performing option? I figure that if, after the clean install (using the license key that will be in the BIOS), I would just use Windows Recovery. I don't think clean install or removal of Dell Recovery partition would affect warranty. Thoughts?
