Bloatware on new HP laptop

Being a loyal hp/Compaq customer since 2006, I have bought since then 9 laptops from them, for my family.
I do the exact same thing with the proposed by @NavyLCDR process!
Create a full image of the hp installation, just for peace of mind and clean install Windows and reinstall the drivers as proposed, although nowadays that's not necessary either, as Microsoft provides all necessary drivers upon installation.
You might make an exception for the Intel RST and sound drivers. The first one after testing the best performing one for your system and the second, the best sounding one according to your tastes.
Update the BIOS to the most recent one, proposed by hp and don't bother with its bloatware.
As for HPSA, it won't do anything more than give you the same list you'll get with a simple visit to the hp support page for your PC.
Save yourself the time and effort trying to decide what is worth keeping or not, from all the hp installed bloatware! *Smile

 

Brand new laptop won't load Windows after 'bloatware' removal

Thanks for your replies.
I didn't remove ANY of those programs - it was more the Windows 10 bloatware that I got rid of.

I've had a look at how to do a factory restore but can't see how to do it if you can't log in to Windows. Does anyone have a suggestion?

 

List of Microsoft Apps Which Can Be Removed As Bloatware?

Just setting up a new Dell PC with Win10 1909. As I have been doing for past 15 years, immediately got rid the Dell bloatware, but I am stuck on what to kill off regarding Microsoft's bloatware. Cant seem to find any comprehensive list of apps OK to delete... anyone know of such a list? Thanks!
