Title: Windows 10 = Maze of Slow, Intrusive Garbage. Need Help in Un-Bloating and Speeding Up

To you Computer tech-heads, just got a Win 10 HP piece of crap that is running in quicksand. It's not a brand new machine...

Firefox is running, but preventing the LF page from opening without permission. Took forever to load youtube as well as all other pages.

Have loaded CCleaner and Avast.

There seems to be a mountain of bloatware and intrusive programs running in the background. I'm a Win 7 guy, so this is all Greek to me. It's like a selfish Monster has hijacked the machine.

The Settings are nothing like the simplicity of Win 7. Very convoluted.

How do I take back this machine? And stop the intrusive stuff and updates?

Any constructive suggestions are appreciated. Thanks...

You might try running IE or Chrome if you have them.

I read so many bad things about Windows 10, privacy issues, spying, etc.

I'll stick with Windows 7.

I use Linux Cinnamon/Mint and it serves just about all of my needs. And those few things I need Windows for, most of them I can run under WINE (Windows Emulator) which simply lets me run windows applications right in Linux, and for those that won't work with that because they need the full Winblows environment, I start up VMWare and run a virtual Windows 7 OS as an application on Linux, and can do any windows program at all that way.

And whenever that windows 7 OS starts to deliver sad performance, I just create a new Virtul Win7 OS install to start over. It's literally as simple as copying files to new folder in Linux and takes 2 mins.

But again, linux does just about everything I need anyway. One of the few issues is Skype on linux, which used to work fine until the latest upgrade (Microsoft now owns Skype so they don't really know how to make it work, or just don't want to). I now run skype on my tablet and it works perfectly. Word and Excel docs from windows can be opened and modified just fine in Linux OpenOffice.

Linux has a full graphic interface, is easy for anyone to install & use, has yet to have any problems with viruses. In the past Linux was harder for non technical people to use, but we are long past the point where there are still any valid excuses for people tired of windows to not have transitioned to Linux.
