Windows 10: Plese advise: Im confused and overloaded with the hard-sell from device apps. How does one...

I have a Samsung Note 8 that regularly pesters me to switch my default apps from Chrome, Gboard, Drive,

One storage, Calendar etc. Struggling to locate obscured settings that will disable an app you dont want or use, but somehow enabled.


But the conflicting apps on my PC are worse than my phone. Windows in Microsoft crashes Chrome, it uses Edge, Bing and its own store, not compatible with much on PlayStore. has its own Photos and storage and so forth. How come I dont see this question more?


*I really need o get virus and malware protection but I dont know who to trust. Who is the one to trust? Microsoft or Google?


* I have years invested in Google, im happy with Chrome.

* Are the proprietary apps safer as they claim?

Thank you

Aurora

Customize Default User Profile for New Accounts in Windows 10


Im confused by the steps listed here. It states that the customize file needs to be on a drive separate from drive C. Does this assume then that i must have 2 hard drives or a USB drive or something attached to be able to do this? Our environment is virtualized. I don't have the luxury of attaching a USB device to it or partitioning a second drive.

 

confused about selecting boot device


This is good information but I am confused about step 2 below. Wouldn't I need to select whatever device, USB or DVD, the install media is on at this point and not how I want the final install to boot?
Thanks,and sorry for dragging up an old post but it had most of the info I was looking for.

It is up to you whether you want to install Windows using MBR or GPT and you need to set the option in the BIOS for MBR or GPT style installation.

Having said that. Here's the steps:

1. Disconnect all HD/SSD except the one you will be installing Windows
2. From the boot menu, Select #1 for GPT or select #2 for MBR to boot up the Windows Installation
   Attachment 29081
   NOTE: The screen is an example and might look different from yours
3. Once the Windows Installation started. On the first screen, Press and hold SHIFT Key + F10, a command Windows will popup then type:
   - diskpart
   - select disk 0
   - Clean
   - Exit
   - Exit
4. Click Next to continue.
5. Select Custom
6. Select the first unallocated partition and click next. Windows will create all needed partitions to install Windows 10
7. Follow all the rest of the instruction to complete.

MBR installation:

1. 500MB System Reserved partition
2. C: Drive

GPT installation:

1. 450MB recovery partition
2. 100MB EFI System Partition
3. 16MB MSR partition
4. C drive.
