Alright so I got my first laptop, it's an ASUS Q301. It came with a bunch of crapware and other garbage (bought it from bestbuy) as well as a bunch of asus stuff I don't want.
I'm aware that the product key for win8 is in the bios and that it should fill in during an install.
Problem is, this thing doesn't have a disc drive and I don't have a flashdrive big enough for a full windows 8 install.
Really want I want is to somehow wipe /everything/ on the laptop without doing a fresh install. I tried the refresh option but it kept all the dumb bloatware.
Any other alternatives?
