On laptops, that's what you get, a bunch of crapware. I could buy a copy
of 7 and clean install it but imaging is easier and cheaper.

My Laptop has quad i3 Intel processors and 4GB of RAM with an ATI video
card with 512MB dedicated memory. My other laptop has quad i5 Intel
processors and 4GB of RAM with an nVidia video card with a gig of
dedicated memory. You know not of what you speak but you speak as if you
do constantly. Not very bright, moron

I have a 50 MB connection.

I haven't had any down time since 1997. Not only do I have the above
procedure, I have another computer all set to go as a back up. My
business is my livelihood and I can't take the chance of any down time.
