Setting up a laptop: These are the first steps

When buying a new laptop, many programs are already pre-installed. However, as a user, you naturally want to keep track of the device and avoid unnecessary software or files as much as possible. For this reason, you should definitely invest a little time in setting up your new laptop.

Set up laptop: Uninstall useless software from the device

An already assembled laptop usually already has a number of pre-installed programs. Many of these programs are not needed further.

1. In many cases, an antivirus program is already installed on the laptop at the beginning of use. Even if you should absolutely use such a program, the pre-installed software is often not configured properly or disturbs with advertising circuit so that you purchase the full version.
2. Many laptops also have a browser already pre-installed. Use this to download and install your favorite browser and then uninstall the pre-installed browser.
3. Not all drivers are already installed to begin with and thus limit the functions of your laptop. Suchen Sie im Internet nach Ihrer Hardware und informieren Sie sich über die aktuelle Treiberversion.
