    just wondering if there is a process of semi clean install for a USA purchased TZ

    to remove all the bloat without having to reinstall all the drivers and an oem OS

    Of course no OS disc comes with these computers anymore and I presume

    that the recovery partition or recovery disc one will make will just contain all

    the carp again eh?

    I 've seen postings of several semi clean install for other models but not the USA TZ

    thanks

    Follow the same process and you should get the same results. If worse comes to worst, you can recover your bloatware version from the recovery partition.
