new ASUS with bloatware problem

Hi, I've just bought a new ASUS from newegg, and it includes a large amount of bloatware. Most of the things I've read online suggest that the solution to this is to do a re-installation of Win7.

Problem is, all the guides I find online for reinstalling say to insert a windows7 disc in order to perform this, and no disc came with my purchase. Anybody here know what I can do about this?

Thanks


p.s. here's the computer I bought if it's of any importance.
Newegg.com - ASUS K52 Series K52JC-XN1 Notebook w/ NVIDIA Optimus Intel Core i5 460M(2.53GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 310M + Intel HD

 

You could also uninstall the bloatware instead of doing a clean windows 7 install.

Anyways here are two threads you should read that will answer your questions:

Hey, I'm back after attempting a reinstall of Windows using the "LEGAL Windows 7 Download Links (Just like Vista before!)" guide, and I've had mixed results it seems.

I made the ISO, using this website, as suggested. Legal Windows 7 Download Guide - codesagar.com

Then I looked around the internet to try to figure out exactly how to use the ISO to do the reformatting/reinstalling business, since I've never done any of this before. I decided to follow instructions on this site. Installing and reinstalling Windows 7

I'm not sure I did it right. What I did was Control Panel->Recovery->Advanced Recovery Methods->Reinstall Windows. This prompted me to then reboot the computer, and I just went through a couple of "next" and "yes" buttons, saying to reinstall and insert my cd, and then it just went and set up a new Windows7 with none of the bloatware showing anywhere.

Anyways, TL;DR - Now that it's done reinstalling, my computer can no longer connect to the internet. In device manager, it seems that some of my drivers are no longer installed/working properly. I don't know how to get these drivers working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I'm also concerned whether I actually got the thing to reformat, or if it just partitioned it. It never actually said anything about reformatting when I went through the reinstalling process. When I boot up the computer, it asks me to choose between two different Windows 7s.

Really sorry if this is confusing. Thanks a lot to anybody who's willing to provide any advice.

 

@Chvol go to ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download and select your model to download the drivers you need.

Start off with the chipset drivers and the atk drivers. Then reboot and continue installing the rest.

 

Everything's working excellently now. Thanks everyone.

 

If you have two versions of Windows installed -s omething's messed up. The correct way to install would be to just boot from the Windows installation DVD and use the setup wizard. It allows you to format/repartition your drives as needed.
