      Apparently MacAfee comes loaded on windows 10 Home? and automatically Registers?

      That was likely some of the malware pre-loaded by HP. Likely this happened before you did a clean Windows 10 install.

      You did do a clean install of Windows, right?

      yes, I did a clean install of windows.

      From what media?
      Did you boot the device up with it's default install first?

      are you gonna yell if i say yes?

      No - you're learning. But from your question - we know you did. 3rd Party AV are not bundled into MS's installer.. that comes only from the vendor... so in the future, you know not to bother.. just boot from your home made USB stick, and you'll be golden, and the crapware won't be there.

      So I should Reload with my USB stick I made now that I have an activated version of windows?

      It was activated before it left the factory, but to answer this exact question - yes you should. This will leave you in a 100% clean state.

      But wait - how did you make the USB stick? using some HP/Dell/Levono (I hope not) tool?

      no, I used my work PC to build it ; it's a Nobilis PC.

      a what?

      /sigh - why? because they saved $5 If they are really going to go that route - they they should buy NUCs.

      They should've just used raspberry pis with a display and keyboard and mouse.

      That's a pretty big leap. My point was - if you're not going to go with one of the big name brands (mostly for warranty), then why not go with something pretty damned inexpensive, yet still powerful. Because as we know - they still require windows.

          The windows key is built into your computer hardware. you do not have to install or even power the piece of shit on with the factory image.

            I never find good deals on NUCs. Every time I shop for one, they seem to cost a premium over what is on the market. Nice form factors, most of the time, but they never seem to be affordable.

                  I can find good deals is just the parts ordering separate from each other is just crazy. However the price is in the $350 to $600 depending of the specs you want.

                    That's an "okay" price, but not great. I can get brand new, really nice desktops for around $400 without getting a NUC, and that's everything not just some of the parts. To get prices like that with a NUC, I'm normally looking at a few generation old parts that Intel seems to be dumping on the market.

                                    Installing updates on a MS Surface that is just being stubborn with the GUI, so forcing these through with Powershell 1 update at a time.

                                    It's progressing, but god is it slow.

                                      Apparently MacAfee comes loaded on windows 10 Home? and automatically Registers?

                                      That was likely some of the malware pre-loaded by HP. Likely this happened before you did a clean Windows 10 install.

                                      You did do a clean install of Windows, right?

                                      yes, I did a clean install of windows.

                                      From what media?
                                      Did you boot the device up with it's default install first?

                                      are you gonna yell if i say yes?

                                      No - you're learning. But from your question - we know you did. 3rd Party AV are not bundled into MS's installer.. that comes only from the vendor... so in the future, you know not to bother.. just boot from your home made USB stick, and you'll be golden, and the crapware won't be there.

                                      So I should Reload with my USB stick I made now that I have an activated version of windows?

                                      It was activated before it left the factory, but to answer this exact question - yes you should. This will leave you in a 100% clean state.

                                      But wait - how did you make the USB stick? using some HP/Dell/Levono (I hope not) tool?

                                      no, I used my work PC to build it ; it's a Nobilis PC.

                                      a what?

                                      Nobilis PC.

                                      /sigh - why? because they saved $5 If they are really going to go that route - they they should buy NUCs.

                                      I never find good deals on NUCs. Every time I shop for one, they seem to cost a premium over what is on the market. Nice form factors, most of the time, but they never seem to be affordable.

                                      I can find good deals is just the parts ordering separate from each other is just crazy. However the price is in the $350 to $600 depending of the specs you want.

                                      That's an "okay" price, but not great. I can get brand new, really nice desktops for around $400 without getting a NUC, and that's everything not just some of the parts. To get prices like that with a NUC, I'm normally looking at a few generation old parts that Intel seems to be dumping on the market.

                                      Yup.

                                        FFS this 1903 update is taking forever. . . I've had to move to using a USB drive to install it. . .

                                            LOL - crazy - @WrCombs left out the fact that the UAP will be on a private non-routed network segment. So using an internet controller isn't possible, as the UAP can't reach the internet.
