I just got given a brand new laptop to set up for someone. I got given it in the OEM vendors box with seals intact. I’m right at the start of the first boot and doing the initial install set up. Boy, what a nasty thing this is.
1. Choose your language – please note you can NEVER change this at a later date.
2. You MUST install the Bing Bar to install Windows at all. It does note you can later remove it. If so, why make it mandatory to start with? I know I’ll find out later, but I’m sure the removal will NOT be easy or they wouldn’t have made it mandatory to start with.
Next is to choose their local wireless network partner or skip. And, of course, the Windows mandatory reboot.
More will follow as I get deeper into this.
