FYI reinstalling windows, even with a fresh OEM USB, does not guarantee it will be a fresh copy of windows if there is bloatware living on the BIOS https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150812/11395231925/lenov...

All vendors caught doing this has been shamed into rolling out a BIOS-update without the embedded crap ware.

That said, this is really a Windows-feature being misused by OEMs and as a user I would be interested in having a way to disable it.
