Pro tip: you should always buy Windows laptops, etc. directly from the Microsoft store. Their signature branding for many other manufacturers's products means that they sell for about the same price, but with no crapware.
For years the Windows experience was completely ruined by hardware manufacturers pre-loading laptops with a ton of very poorly developed software. It's a night and day difference.
in some ways, android has it worse, because they have to deal with hardware vendors and carriers
I bought a family member an Asus laptop from the Windows Store that was running 8.1, and the Windows 10 update has destroyed it. Asus refuses to look at it, calling it a "software issue". So now I'm in the process of trying to get Microsoft to look at it, and waiting to see whether they will take responsibility or shove it off to someone else.
