Solved How do I get rid of bloatware?

I just ran Avast quick scan.
It took 40 seconds.

I also ran Malwarebytes quick scan.
It took 1 minute , 38 seconds.

I would really do a clean install.
Manually removing bloatware is complicated, has no guarantee and does not kill minor bloatware remnants.

You can backup your files conveniently with Easy Transfer or with an external storage.

Ken,
my Pc is going so fast right now, I would be hesitant to change/adjust anything.

Most people would say that, but the concern is on the traces, remnants. Removing bloatware is already changing something. There are a lot more things in a preinstalled OS than those preinstalled software. A clean install will make your computer cleaner and possibly faster, make sure you install the latest driver of all your hardware from the manufacturer's site, that can make things multiple times faster :D

Ken,
but it's running soo fast right now, I don't want to jinx it.

It is opening real fast, it is closing real fast. ( we're talking 4 seconds) to boot or shutdown.

To run a Avast quick scan is taking 40 seconds.
And a Malwarebytes quick scan is taking about 1 and a half minutes.

With regard to "remnants"... I have run CCleaner, including registry clean.

I don't find any reason why you'd say that. A clean install and up-to-date drivers will make your computer faster. But if you insist with the current installation, I suggest leaving as it is. Good luck :geek:
