Hi All
Got a dell Inspiron 3847 with W8.1, full specs below.
Got a few questions:
1. Does Dell generally come with lot of bloatware and is there anything I should specifically get rid of.
2. Really do not like W8.1 on this as it doesn't have a touch screen, used it on a touchscreen and was ok. Is there any good tutorials so I can give it a go, or any modifications to run it more like W7.
3. I'm using Eset and have done for a few years, is this still a decent antivirus? Or is there is there a better one?
4. Any other spyware, malware etc you can recommend?
5. Can anyone recommend a decent 'optimiser' or are these no longer necessary?
6. Would there be much benefit in putting an SSD in?
Anyway, probably will think of more but think I may have taken the mick already so I shall leave it at that.
Thanks for reading
