Just need some friendly advice...
Hi folks,
I've been at this computer gig for quite some time and of late took a break from building them and configuring and all that bull!! Basically took a vacation from the machines for the sake of sanity. Anyway you just can't be without a computer these days, it's like traveling the world without legs....So I went shopping for a laptop and picked on one up and was excited for a little while! It's an Acer Aspire E-15 which is plently of machine for me these days. What the disappointment and the conclusion that I have come to really sucks to say the least. Windows 8.1 and the amount of programs this thing is running by default plus the cloud syncing is the most stupidest thing I have come across. So this machine basically is going to be completely wiped of the crap and installed with no extra bloatware. I don't want to do it but I want to and I have to unless somebody here can steer me in another direction. I need to be in control of the machine not the other way around..
Ya know when I first come to the site things were pretty good as far as the net went nd so on and so forth, but now it's completely out of control as far as being exposed to the world on a machine that want's to sync with everything. That my friends is not the way it should be and it's done on purpose. Anyhow I will need to do things to implement my designs on this laptop that aren't with the the manufacturers and Microsoft in mind, they are are completely sucking the wallet just a little much-No install dvd's anymore, No keys to have in your possession! You get to be played by greedy and designing individuals to put the screws to ya and that's enough of my complaining. So my friends here what should I do? It's gonna get wiped so we have to go from there, what isn't happening I'm not buying more activation codes cause this is brand new but it doesn't serve me, or would any other computer that is bought. So basically I need a way of going about this in a manner that I get the machine running for me without putting up with Microsoft's and Acer's baloney! You folks know what's up and I need your advice on how to do this legally without buying stuff that should of been mine in the first place..!
Thanks for the help in advance and hi to those friends of mine here that I haven't chatted with in a while, this has a solution I'm sure and you guy's know the answer.
