    I'm receiving a new Dell XPS 13 tomorrow and based on what I've read, I'm thinking about doing a clean install in order to remove the Dell bloatware. First, would you guys recommend doing this and second, does anyone have step by step instructions on what to do and in what order. I've also heard that Dell splits the SSD into multiple partitions and I'm not sure if I should remove them. Thanks in advance.
