I had asked a few weeks ago what to do about being unable to update or install patches to Windows 8.1. Tried everything suggested except doing a re-install from disks I made. I was hoping to avoid this, but as my laptop is slowly becoming more and more less usable, it looks like I have no other choice at this point. So what I am wondering is there any way I could pull JUST Windows from the restorations disks without all the added junk the manufacturer added? I just hate all that bloat ware that companies add to your system at the factory! Who seriously needs another program to play videos when you have Windows Media and VLC? I've never been a fan of Norton and it's a royal pain to completely get it off your computer as well. You get the picture, I just want a vanilla copy of Windows where I can choose what to install or not.
