Just got myself a Acer Aspire E5-571-58FP preloaded with Windows 8.1 and tons of bloatware.
It's my first laptop and I'm new to Windows 8.
My question is how do I install a fresh copy of the Windows without all that bloatware? The problem is, it doesn't come with an installation disk.
In addition, if it fails to boot in the future, how do I create a recovery disk/usb?
Further questions:
-How do I make my laptop bootable from a usb, or is it done by default?
-Without an installation disk, does that mean I can't disk partition my hd?
With Windows 7 , I just load the Windows 7 cd, wipe my old OS, partition my drive, and load Windows 7 in it. Without a Windows 8 installation cd, how do I partition my hd and load a fresh copy of Windows 8?
Thank you,
