    Sorry This is going to be dumb question. This is my first Gaming Laptop that I saw this on AMAZON
    • 15.6� FHD 16:9 IPS LED-Backlit Display with Matte Finish w/ G-SYNC Technology (1920x1080) / 30 Days No Dead Pixel Warranty / IC Diamond Thermal Compound (applied to CPU and GPU)
    • 6th Generation Intel� Skylake� i7-6700HQ (2.6GHz - 3.5GHz, 6MB Intel� Smart Cache)
    • NVIDIA� GeForce� GTX 1070 (8.0GB) GDDR5 Graphics Card (Pascal)
    • RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz Dual Chanel Memory / M.2: 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Pre-Configured as OS Drive) / 2.5": 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive / Wifi: Intel Dual Band AC 8260 802.11 A/AC/B/G/N 2.4/5.0GHz + Bluetooth 4.0
    • Windows� 10 Home 64-Bit Edition Preinstalled (Clean Install | Drivers Only | No Bloatware | No Recovery Media)
    So the OS is Clean stall on the SSD, does that mean when I recieve this laptop I dont have to do anything beside download STEAM to game and Chrome to browse the web. My concern is im not a tech wiz and wouldnt know anything what to install to get a computer to work.

    Yes, you should be fine. It may also download some windows updates in the first few days.

    Like they said. My 8153-S arrived and only had Sager software on it. Only required a handful of Windows updates.

    My 8620 wifi card and NVidia already newer drivers that needed updating. That was the only other thing.

    Yes, that is one thing that's great about Clevo/Sager systems with the OS preinstalled: no bloatware, just the bare essentials.
