Just accept that most new windows 10 PCs' come with junk installed.

AFAIK you can reinstall a clean copy of Windows 10 on any windows 10 PC
that has already been authorised/"finger printed" by MS.

I have fixed a couple of PC's that were orginally windows 8 and then
updated to windows 10 before failing.
Re installing Windows 10 from the MS ISO proved to be painless.
Both machines automatically "authorised".


and if you have a properly activated Win 7 or 8.1 machine it will
upgrade to 10 without any hassle even though the "free" upgrade period
is technically over.
