Reinstall Windows 10

During the installation process it will give you the option to delete all programs. This will result in a clean Windows 10 installation without crapware added by Dell.

Uh, no. I my case it ‘found’ my Win7 installation on my SSD and reformatted it, deleting without asking all my other data on the SSD as well, then installed Win10 on hard drive over Win 8.

That assumes one has an original Windows 10 disk and isn't using the vendor's (Dell's) software image to perform the re-install.

Having said that, uninstalling the crapware is actually pretty easy. Here's a link to a video I used to uninstall all the Microsoft crapware from one of my machines. Works just as well removing the Dell crapware.

Looks like I will need installation media to accomplish what I want. The built-in reinstall feature doesn’t have an option to eliminate the applications Dell provides with the build. Thanks.
