In this tutorial, we will show you how to reinstall Windows 10 without the bloatware. There could be many instances when you wish to perform a factory reset on your PC. As and when the need arises, users generally make use of the Reset Your PC feature. While it does restores your PC to the factory default settings, however, it would then also bring back all the pre-installed bloatware.
Since manufacturers ship their products with a bunch of unnecessary apps, hence resetting your setup will bring back these apps. However, there exists a pretty nifty feature baked inside the Windows OS that allows you to perform a factory reset but at the same time, excludes all the bloatware from getting installed. In this guide, we will let you know more about this feature and how to effectively use it. Follow along for the detailed instructions.
