    I'm planning to install new SSD's to my new 8760 and then install Windows from scratch.

    Which if any of the HP utilities are worth installing?

    Some I see on the included drive are:

    HP ProtectTools
    HP Connection Manager
    HP Power Assistant
    Synaptics (yes)
    SRS Audio Control (yes)
    Intel Management and Security Status
    Intel Rapid Storage Technology
    Symantec NIS Trials (have this anyway)
    PDF Complete Special Edition
    Computrace Trial (can download this)
    Roxio MYDVD

    Anything else or drivers that Windows won't install by itself?
