    Hey @0scarmax

    To be honest most laptops are loaded with bloat ware. (Software bloat is a process whereby successive versions of a computer program become perceptibly slower, use more memory, disk space or processing power, or have higher hardware requirements than the previous version, while making only dubious user-perceptible improvements or suffering from feature creep)

    Not only that, windows it’s self is loaded with bloat ware. Unwanted  programmes that you wll never use. Not forgetting windows tracking and spying on you.

    So what can you do about this?

    Well take me for instance. I use a modified windows 11 Pro install on all my compters and laptops. This means most of the bloat ware and spyware is removed from windows. I also us Pro version of win 11 because this give you access to things like Group policy (Group Policy is a feature of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that controls the working environment of user accounts and computer accounts. Group Policy provides centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users’ settings in an Active Directory environment. A set of Group Policy configurations is called a Group Policy Object.) Basically it allow you as admin to say how programs work or are accessed by the user.

    For now watch this video and think, Can I do this? Then get back to me, here.
