Excellent suggestion. I highly second that. Yes, even though more and more vendors are making that harder. For example, claiming that reinstalling the OS voids your warranty.

Because then they wouldn't benefit from the crapware they installed, so they need to disincent you.

Not running crapware is theft, just like not watching commercials is theft. The only way they can afford to sell you a PC at those prices is by subsidizing their profit with crapware income. /s
