pre installed programs...do they slow my computer?

..that one from profdlp,
gosh that made me laugh !

Sorry it's late: HP"s have the worst load for factory bloatware of all makes, often requiring a clean reinstall to get back all of WIn7's native instantaneous performance. Until then here are steps to Clean up factory bloatware

I agree with Profdlp. Macrium Reflect is a must for any computer. You might not think so, but there will be times on your PC when things just get messed up. If you have Macrium, you just restore the image of your PC and you are good to go. The best part is that it is free. Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download

bigmck,

How does EasusUS Todo Backup compare with Macrium Reflect??

Yes. I had a look at that. thank you.

i think the preinstalled programs had made more junk files and bugs in your computer therefore you need to clean up your pc with some programs like krojam cleaner which will clean the junk files from your computer and it might speed up..
