So im about to get a new laptop, its no the best but it will be diffrent, currently i have a desktop so a laptop i will be able to move around with.
Its a windows laptop with 12gb of ram, 250 storage, so im hoping its good becasue i got this laptop on the cheaper end becasue its refurbished acording to amazon.
anyways what are some of the first things to do with a laptop besides setting it up and what are some cool uses, i have some ideas on how i might use the laptop but i want to hear what yall have to say.
Reapply the thermal paste, reinstall windows 10, run CTT windows utility script, dual boot linux, run nextdns on it, use brave and librewolf, update all your firmware.
First one might be hard for a laptop
If it has OOBE you don’t need to reinstall
I reinstall just to make sure it is fresh and ridden of all the antivirus and bloatware crap that is installed
I think just regular uninstalling using tools like https://github.com/Klocman/Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller is way easier
