    Hi
    I have a new GT72 coming. Wondering what steps to do first, My current plan calls for making recovery media, update windows, update all the drivers (I would like to avoid BIOS updates if possible), uninstall bloat ware, upgrade to windows 10 pro and then make another set of recovery media. Is this a rational approach? Is it worthwhile to hassle with a clean install of windows following the upgrade to pro?
    Thanks
