    This is actually my first laptop. It's not really a gaming laptop but more of a laptop for work and shchool.

    Now I know most of you have heard this question a thousand times, but what do I do first?

    There are no windows cds included. How do I back up? How do I back up without the bloatware?

    What exactly are the bloat in here? What can I uninstall?

    What else to do? Do I need to optimize this or something?

    Thanks in advance.
