Wouldn't it be great if everything worked forever, just like it did straight out of the box - or did it?
You would have a better chance if the PC didn't ship with 'crapware' (installed by the supplier) that nags you to buy it. When you pay up, the PC supplier gets a percentage. Then the 6 month AntiVirus licence runs out, and you don't really notice, and forget to pay up! This type of thing can lull you into a false sense of security.
Oh - it really is called 'crapware' by many - there is even a piece of free software called the 'De-Crapifier' that people use to clean up the new PC and speed it up!
I have been called out to 'fix' a new PC that had been back to the supplier, who said there was nothing wrong with it. When I looked at the start-up group to see what had been pre-installed, I found two AntiVirus applications running (paid for by client), wireless drivers (client used cable) and software to restore the PC to a previous state, whilst Windows own 'Restore' was still running, plus . . . . . . .
Out of the box booting-up time was 8 minutes, after clean-up, 1 minute. No magic needed, just common sense.
Have a look at tips & tricks & software, for now anyway -
