Windows 10: PC might think it's a laptop

So I recently built a new PC, and decided to reuse a hard drive from my dad's old dell laptop. When I installed windows (To a different drive) I noticed there were a lot of weird Dell partitions along with the drives I had installed. I formatted the reused drive, and deleted the partitions. So far I haven't seen any Dell things pop up, so I think I'm good in that department. But in my windows power settings, it has options meant to save laptop's battery, like the power slider. There isn't a battery icon in the toolbar, I don't see a battery in device manager, and my PC correctly labeled itself as a desktop. Can this negatively impact my PC? Can you give me any advice on what to do or how to fix it? Thanks

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.
