installing clean win 7

[rida]

my pc came with win 7 preinstalled with lots of commercial junkware (games, norton etc). every time i need to reinstall win 7 i have to spend hours getting rid of the junk and cleaning my pc. how can i get rid of this junk once and for all, and keep a clean version for future reinstall?

I'd use this:

There's also a tutorial on a clean install with a flash drive (it's what I do when I need to reinstall Win7)

You'll need about 4GB on the flash drive if you want to do that. You can always get the files from the download page and burn them to a disc instead, too.

Both of those will guarantee no more preinstalled junk that you're having trouble with.

I would do the vastly superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
