    I don't want to reinstall the OS, maybe some of the bloatware should stay. I haven't figured out what some of it does yet.

    Is there an easy way to turn off the fingerprint reader, then turn it back on later if we want it?

    Windows wants to update Vista but it keeps giving an error message. I've verified that the internet connection is active and there is no antivirus in the way.
