| You can do either a fresh install of Windows or just remove the programs via Control Panel. It's not that hard. |

I have an Acer PC and I don't have bloat/floatware (whatever it is), so it's good.
Lenovo laptops are trash most of the time anyways.

"thats the thing if you uninstall it the next update of windows it all comes back" Windows doesn't manage all of that bloatware unless you have a heavily modified OEM version of Windows.
Just remember to check which updates are being installed before you install them. |

"Lenovo laptops are trash most of the time anyways." Looks like someone has never owned a Lenovo laptop!
You do know that Lenovo is stemmed off of IBM, right? They made the Thinkpad. AKA one of the most tough laptops of all time. Sure, the Lenovo Thinkpads aren't nearly as sturdy as the older IBM ones, but they're still good nonetheless. Everything that I've had from Acer was garbage. Cheap, bloatware-infested garbage. |

Don't go removing random partitions if you don't know what they do. Chances are, if it's a System Reserved partition, you don't want to mess around with that.
If it's something like "Lenovo Backup" or whatever and you never use it, access compmgmt.msc, locate Disk Management, then remove the partition. Simple as that.
I don't think that they would go as far as making an entire partition dedicated to bloatware though. That's excessive. |

I had a Lenovo laptop and it was OKAY, I know some that are not that great, and I use a Lenovo for school, where the chargers are weak and get damaged easily.
Bloatware isn't a huge issue. I have a standard 1TB drive with it and planning to upgrade it to 2 or 4TB because I do emulations and games a lot, as well as other things.
FUN FACT: Packard Bell was bought by Acer, and the PB Navigator became Acer Explorer, I believe.

"lenovo laptops are garbage, literally downloading anything slows them down tenfold" There are lots of laptops from Lenovo, that's a very broad assumption to make but I'm sure you have owned every single laptop from them, right?
It likely has something to do with Windows. There are so many laptops that slow down from Windows constantly updating in the background. It's almost unbearable at times. |
