But it's full of bloatware.........

What's the easiest way to rid myself of all the bloatware?

It's an: Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200 SA

Runs Windows 10 home. I'm actually very pleased with my present as you can flip the keyboard around on its back and it becomes a tablet. But it only has 2 gig of RAM and runs off an EMMC. Pity that or I'd have considered putting an SSD into it. But it seems fast enough but it's just all the added junk they put on it. Yuck.

I'm downloading Windows 10 to do a clean install as it didn't come with any form of recovery media and I suspect even if it did I'd be saddled with the bloatware again.

Has anyone had experience doing these kind of devices with a clean install?
 
A clean install should do you fine.


I just did that. Works faster without all the added bloatware. Still a little sad about the actual physical storage hardware, but it's actually not that bad. I will be using this machine just for story writing and it won't be doing games as it's not that powerful.
