Sounds like you setup a system using the disk that came with it. Big mistake. Try using an actual Windows disc from Microsoft, and you won't have any of that crap. I think it's pretty obvious that Microsoft gets a lot of flack for evils perpetuated by the PC manufacturers.
And do I need to mention Ubuntu, etc.?
- brk 17y agoThe Windows OS is often greatly discounted when purchased with the hardware, pre-installed. How do you "use an actual Windows disc from Microsoft" to reinstall without incurring additional license fees and hassles (IME, the OEM license keys you get with a Dell box won't let you register a generic Windows install)?
- Tichy 17y agoAll the Dells I recently had came with proper OS installation disks that did not come with other crap. Possibly you would have to check "give me the CD" when ordering the PC, though. I also so far had no problem installing said OS on other PCs, but mileages may vary (so many different versions of Windows floating around).
