Then again, correct me if I'm wrong, since I have never bought a new
computer from a store (or anywhere else). But lets say I went to Walmart
and bought a new computer with Win10 already installed. Isn't all the
validation done at the factory, so when I take it out of the box, it's
ready to be used without me having to do anything except plug it in and
connect the keybd, mouse and monitor cords?

I would think it would be ready to go right out of the box, but I am
only guessing....

Yes, but from a big box store it may be loaded with a lot of freeware
crap on it.

Run JRT (junkware removal tool) or Decrapifier?

I prefer to do a clean install without all the crap.
