    Hi all,

    First of all I hope that I am posting this in the right forum. Mods, please move if I'm in the wrong place.

    Okay, so I just got myself a new laptop. I'll only be using it for general browsing on the web and typing stuff up for college. It's a HP Stream 14-ax050sa 14". It has come with a tonne of pre-installed HP software that I will probably never, ever use so I want to get rid of it. Is it safe to remove any of these (screenshot attached) without upsetting my new toy?!

    Cheers.

    I've not used it, but you could give PC Decrapifier a go.

    Wait...what? How the hell did that happen? I've barely used the laptop to connect to the internet!

    It was installed at the factory. HPs infinite wisdom.
