I still do it. I've no use for Dell's live support app and whatever else they ship. The difference now is that you also have to: 1. Uninstall Candy Crush and similar. 2. Disable Cortana. 3. Disable ads and internet search for your Start button. 4. Click through several small greyed out buttons to have a local account instead of cloud account. 5. Do some of these things again whenever an update nukes part of your settings. As a bonus, they still haven't fixed the decades old thing in file manager where all your directories default to displaying in stupid mode. In short: pay for the professional version of Windows or prepare to be annoyed.
