Hi everyone,
I hope there's not much trouble by inserting a Windows 8-related thread here. If it does, it's pretty obvious what the next step is going to be
That said, I've just received a laptop with Windows 8.1 in it. However, it comes with the typical bloatware and I want to remove it. So, after some good hours finding out a legit version of the software, I'm now afraid that something goes wrong. So, I decided to first dual boot the current Windows 8.1 and a pristine one, which I want to keep.
So my question is: is it possible to dual boot Windows 8.1, and then remove one of the setups?
Best regards,
Pedro.

I believe a clean install is a better option.
