Hi, I have a new HP desktop that is on version 20H2. Using "reset this PC" for a clean bloatware free reinstall and the tutorial I am following from the May 2020 update speaks of a toggle under "additional settings" > "change settings" that said: "restore preinstalled apps?" yes or no. This toggle no longer appears in 20H2, what are the proper selections to keep the reinstall from restoring preinstalled apps in 20H2? Thanks!
Hi,
I don't see the point if not restoring the built in apps it's not a restore/ refresh install.
Hi,
Keep nothing will wipe out all the manufacture bloat plus any files you have so add what ever you want to removable media before.
See this link re Fresh Start...

Hi,
Yeah you could use the media creation tool for the refresh install or clean install with an iso.
Could also use this app for the iso
Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool
In my opinion, I would just uninstall the software you don`t want. You could just do a bit each day and before you know it, you`ll be done.
A lot of the programs that come with a new PC are just trials, and when the trial is up, you`ll have to either buy it or uninstall it anyway.
If you do a clean install, are you prepared to hunt down every driver you need.
You will save yourself a lot of aggravation by just uninstalling what you don`t want.
This is the way
