Why do a clean install on a new XPS 15

I'm kind of a nube to the Windows world, I use Macs for 25 years and I go to Dell. A new XPS 15 9550 should happen on my porch every day now. Many people suggest reinstalling windows on the new machine, but I don't know why. I have the desire to remove bloatware but there must be some useful software on a new computer Dell that I really needed. What is the consensus here, what I would, that I let go?

williepete,

You will hear the pros and cons to reinstall Windows on a new computer. Some people do not want a lot of the software that is installed on a new computer. Personally, I think that it is better to make your own decision once you receive the computer. If you find that you don't like or have any use for some of the software installed on the computer. feel free to uninstall it. I bought a lot of Dell computers and have uninstalled programs that I don't use. Regarding the reinstallation of Windows on a new computer without any problem seems to be a waste of time. Unless of course you have to practice installing Windows, Drivers, and software. It is best to take your own decision, given that you are the person who bought the computer.

For me, to help troubleshoot, please click on my DELL-Jesse L and send me a private Message with the number of Service Dell and your Dell order number.

  • W7 Ent. SP1 x 64 clean install on the new PC - very slow to load after reboot during installation

    Hi all

    I'm busy to install W7 Ent. SP1 x 64 on two computers for a small organization non-profit of my friends, all the similar Assembly (motherboard: ASRock H81M-VG4, CPU: Intel Celeron G1840, transcend SSD). The first PC went perfectly, no problems with the installation at all. Now, I installed the second, but unfortunately the following happens:

    After restarting the installation, was asked to enter the name of the computer normally, and then to set up a password. When I clicked on next (and leaving the word password empty) the whole process seems to freeze a little, and then after a few minutes, I could choose settings updates, after which everything slowed even further. "Finalizing settings" took about three quarters of an hour. Once this done, all slowed even more, and it now displays a black screen telling me that this is not a genuine copy of Windows (had no chance to fill in the key product of course) and after about half an hour he is now "configuration of settings customized for xxxx".

    -EDIT - Windows has begin once (between my opening message and my second post), and it was terribly slow in everything that (like several minutes before opening anything). I installed the LAN driver with the idea of updating all the drivers, but after a reboot it is so late it now already taken 10 minutes to boot Windows (and is suspended in the Welcome screen again).

    I've done an another clean install after using DISKPART to format the SSD, but the same thing is happening again once unfortunately. I installed on a USB bootable, I used to install two other computers as well (one before this one and the other afterwards), and everything is fine with those. Swapping the RAM module for a good known has not changed the situation.

    All comments are welcomed, appreciated, thanks.

    All other essential drivers have been installed: video, Chipset?

    Try the SSD at the other system and see how it starts in the system causes problems.

    Also try the SSD with the painful installation in this computer to see if the problem persists.

    Could contribute to isolate if the SSD.

  • Clean install on the new HD does not

    I upgraded to a larger, faster hard drive after that old hard drive has failed. I used Vista recovery discs to reinstall the OS. However, I think it's a virus that survived somehow on drive X:. When I ran the Diagnostics, the HD was bad, and the memory and the CPU were OK. All major systems of work, then I guess that the motherboard is OK.

    1. is it possible for a virus infect the RAM?

    2. is there a way to ensure that things is not hidden in a chip ROM as BIOS?

    3. is there a procedure during installation in order to avoid the old stuff back?

    Symptoms: Registry corrupt, slows down whenever that services are accessible, unknown program installed during the restoration.

    I thought that some of the data might have been hanging out somehow because I had Paint Shop Pro on the old installation, and it showed on the restoration. The default freeware Corel is a basic photo viewer. How is a blank hard disk or a recovery disc will know that I have a license for this software? No old files have been put on the new hard drive yet.

    One thing that I didn't previously Norton, which I did not activate immediately. It kind of acts as a virus when you don't do what he wants.

    I can tell you that with respect to government security measures, they do not take for granted that the data is unrecoverable RAM. I will try to start an installation with just the bare operating system after testing the drive. Another possible problem using Vaio to create an additional partition.

  • After win7sp1 clean install on a new hard drive, Windows Update runs forever - have tried MANY fixes

    April 2, 2016

    For several days, I have reproduced this problem by starting with a W7Sp1 drive and also start with a considerably older drive of W7.  The old installation of W7 is going very well, first run of WUpdate receives a few fixes, apply and restart.  Rerun WUpdate and she finds Sp1.  Installation of Sp1.  Rerun Wupdate and it says to upgrade to a new Wupdate.

    After the SP1 update and the new windows update, this system offers the same WUpdate symptoms as if from the W7Sp1 disk.  Immediately after the installation of the drive, run the wupdate.  He said: it must be updated to a new Wupdate.

    (PS in each Installer Win7, I authenticated the product key and activated windows.)

    After that, Windows Update never runs you want fixed.  (Left running 10 hours overnight).

    (NO OTHER programs or anything like that is installed after installing Win7 and starting with Windows Update problems).

    =============================================================

    I found 2 programs: FixitAllUp.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 - downloading "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run". (Chasing a "minimal boot"). The last time I have raced, he said if found 2 problems, but only fixed a.  I hit the button Details where he says that he finds the same 2 problems and fixed them BOTH.  It corrects "Missing or damaged registration Service" he said: he can't solve 'Installation problems of the recent updates' - but when you hit details it button show both under "green checkmark" FIXED.  (I also tried to run this several times, and he always finds and he said exactly the same thing, as did the first round).

    Also have run "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic" downloaded from the microsoft site.  It's the same notes 2 problems and fixed one or both depending on if you are looking the summary or detail.

    I read many many cases of a problem that dates back to 2011 and with various assumptions for this problem.

    AND YET, Windows Update checks the updates for EVER and EVER.

    Help

    There is a solution and it works very well...

    Windows Update problem (new)

    The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

    I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

    NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

    1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
    2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
    3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.  The system should NOT have access to the Internet when it starts.
    4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
    5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
    6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
    7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

  • How can I make windows 7 clean install on the new hp?

    I just bought a H8XT.  He took over with a bunch of useless software.  I want to format the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 me.  However, the computer came not with the disc of the operating system.  How can I do this?  My last computer is a Dell that came with the operating system software, and it was pretty simple.  I do not know how without the operating system disks.  Thank you.

    As o_g suggested, first create your HP recovery disk.

    Download the ISO (disk image) of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit a company named Digital River download Microsoft partner. Once this downloaded, you have to burn the image on a DVD to an installation of Windows 7 bootable disc.

  • HP Pav 23-q105na AiO: perform a clean install on new machine

    Hello

    I would like to do a clean install on a new machine of all-in-one HP I have and would like to know about activation of a couple things.

    The machine comes through OEM Activation 3.0 (OA3) or by Product Activation Windows (WPA). The reason why I would like to know this, is that once the own installation took place, automatically Windows know that the machine has a license valid Windows 10 and will be so it turned on once he gets online?

    Please note that when I got the machine, I let it install the version of Windows 10 comes with the machine, and made sure it has been activated. (recorded with the MS servers)

    I will also be wiping the part of the resumption of training as well during this process.

    Kind regards

    Richard

    Hi TheOldMan,

    I have now completed the clean install on the machine and it activated fine. I had media via Windows Media creation tool.

    He activated properly, so now just re - installs all the necessary drivers / programs again. I have another machine I boaught at the same time, so now do the same for this one. I used ShowKeyPlus to check and verify my key before starting.

    Thanks for the reply but.

  • Can I clean install on HP vista 32 to Win 7 Professional 64 with new ssd dv3

    Can someone tell me please

    I have 2 questions:

    1: if I enter new SSD in my pavilion dv3, running on vista 32-bit, can I then install new version recently purchased windows 7 Professional 64-bit instead of 32 bit installation, or should it be 32-bit. ?

    2: I printed a Wiindows 7 upgrade report and it says that my processor is: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU [email protected] with 3 GB of memory and it says my upgrade options are 32-bit windows 7 Home premium or ultimate. This does not change and will it work with the professional version, because it will be a clean install on a new ssd?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Hello:

    The T6500 is a 64-bit processor.

    As a result, you should have no problem upgrade from Vista 32 bit to W7 64-bit.

    You must start from the W7 x 64 installation DVD.  You cannot run it from a 32-bit windows desktop.

    When you get to the install window now and click Next, the upgrade option will be grayed out.

    You must perform a custom (clean) installation when moving from a 32-bit to a 64-bit operating system.

    I'm not quite sure on why it is said that you cannot move to W7 Pro if you can upgrade to W7 Ultimate.

  • Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

    Original title: re-install Windows 7

    Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

    Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

    In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

    The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).

  • Fingerprint reader not working on M6-1045dx after a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    Hi all, I wanted to do a clean install on my new laptop and it's the only thing that I can't seem to make it work so far. The validity on the HP website driver is installed, but there is no software security listed for this device. I tried Protecttools and he said he has not been supported on this device, I tried too Pass Simple and it wouldn't start without crashing. I'm not even sure that I install the correct software. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    David

    Perhaps the best thing you can do is to install the version of HP SimplePass latetst of AuthenTec.  It's a version of 'up' of what is currently available at HP and has all the features and functionality you need to SimplePass.  You will also be able to import your file, .tsd (backup password) If you have in your facility.

    • Download HP SimplePass of AuthenTec (V5.4.0.620).
    • Extract using 7-Zip software.
    • Double-click to start the installation process.
  • H8 - 1520t: how to do a clean install of windows 10 on another drive?

    Hi all.

    Today, I decided to make the transition to windows 10. I want to do a clean install, however, because I recently had an SSD and install the OS on it instead of on my hard drive. First of all, I even need my product key to do a clean install on a new drive? I made a clone of my C: dirve just in case something goes wrong, cordially. My SSD is 100% empty and has 110GB available on this subject, but my main hard drive has about 400 GB of stuff on it, so cloning my drive for the SSD drive is out of the picture.

    So basically what I want to know is this: 1. do I need to have my windows key to do a clean install of windows 10 8.1 of windows on a different drive.

    2 if not, how to do a clean install on a new drive

    3. If I need, how can I get it?

    Thank you all

    The simplest solution would be to save the data that you want to keep on an external hard drive, then remove this data and programs from the old hard drive so that only the BONE remains.  From there use migration software from your manufacturer SSD to clone the old drive to the new SSD using a USB to SATA.

    The Windows key is embedded in the BIOS and will be recognized by the computer on any installs.  It would be desirable to collect your key, just in case, using Belarc Advisor, which gives you all kinds of info on your computer.  Do this before doing anything.

    http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

    Share your drive and be sure that it is operational.  Now you can perform a new installation of the upgrade of Windows 10 using an ISO bootable.  See step 5 or 6 of this tutorial:

  • Windos 8 clean installation of a new SSD

    I have problems, do a clean install of Windows 8 for a new SSD.

    I'm suing the 64-bit Windows 8 pro upgrade CD - in the retail box.

    The BIOS is set to AHCI. I told the computer to boot from the CD/DVD drive. I put the SSD in an Icy Dock adapter.  I replaced the hard C with an SSD drive.  I unplugged the second HD and all USB devices except the keyboard and mouse. Everything seemed OK.  (I checked the connectors and did several times.) I inserted disk pro upgrade Windows 8 and power running.  He went through the usual initial installation.  He then asked "where do you want to install windows? It shows no disc.  He assane "we haven't found all the disks.  For a storage driver, click on load a driver. »

    After clicking on load a driver, it says "to install the device driver for your drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Note the installation media can be a flash drive, CD, DVD, or USB. "There are browse and recan buttons, which do not help.

    Clicking OK search a little while and then he said: 'no signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers. »

    Well, no disk not supplied with the SSD (a crucial M500 960GB).

    I have triple checked the connections, and they seem OK.

    I'm stuck at this point - what could be the problem?

    ======

    Added: This computer (I use another right now) came with Win7, but I upgraded to Win8 with the upgrade of the box retail, then to 8.1 with the download from the shop Windows.  He then worked with Win 8 and 8.1.  If I put the HD in, it works as it did, but I need to do a clean install on the new SSD.

    Well Yes may be the card it connects directly to the port

    Well, I took the SSD to the Icy Dock adapter and taped in temporarily, and he now sees the SSD!  I checked the SSD into the adapter and it seemed safe.  He hung in place, etc.

    And now it's 'customize '.

    Thanks a lot (and everyone else).

    original title: try to install clean vista

    You must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.

    You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).

    For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

    If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.
