New Laptop: What to Do When You Get a New Notebook/Laptop/PC

we really needed a new laptop um I have no laptop at the moment so I need something to edit all the videos at packs MSI was nice enough to hook us up with a laner uh this one was open when I got it but it's pretty much stock like all the different things that come pre-installed are all here except open broadcaster I added that one so I'll remove it this is kind of the way it came in this video I'm going to show you what I do when I first get a laptop this can help you on any model of laptop a few initial steps to take uh these are basic steps that help you clean up some of the bloat Weare and and I get the laptop running nice and smoothly and I'm also going to install a few programs so hang out and let's do that the first thing I always do is this is just personal preference but I always make this small pistol Auto hides it but that popping up and down makes me insane so I did that and then unfortunately you're going to have to use Internet Explorer at least once to get online to download a few things now this is Windows 8 now the first thing I want to do is I want to get a program called PC decrapifier and you can do this with a new machine or an old machine oh I'm using Bing oh good Lord all right let's go ahead and download that see I've got this nordon business going on we're going to get rid of that in a moment too so PC CRA decrapifier should be uh told it to run where is it all right we're going to go through this always read stuff because you never know when it's going to install the toolbar or something this program is all about removing all that crap all right here it asks if we're using this as a new pc so I would check yes if it's a PC that you've never installed any programs on or if it's a PC that you bought used that is not your own or if it's a brand new PC from the store just go and click next uh yeah you can create a restore point in case you break something I would recommend doing this if you guys break something it's not my fault and I will not take responsibility all right here's some of the junk that came pre-installed nordon nordon and windzip I want to get rid of all this crap because I'm going to install my own programs that do the same thing uh in a different way plus I don't like nordan always asking me to register hey if you just give us a little bit of money you know we'll do our thing all right removing those things remove process complete now here's all the rest of the stuff that is on this computer and you can go through and just put a check mark on everything you want to get rid of because I really don't use much of it but I don't I don't want the blue Stacks app player I don't want Power DVD I can't even think of the last time I've watched a DVD um the Intel stuff leave on there most of it is you know drivers firmware that sort of thing you need that uh don't want the yeah I'm going to leave that on there if you're not sure leave it on there but uh for the most part you can tell what it is I don't want any of the Norton stuff I'm going to get rid of all that Nvidia that's my graphics card drivers I'm leaving that open broadcastter that's what I'm with you know recording with right now I'm going to leave this on there there's a killer Nick in here there it is the killer Nick so I'm going to leave these on there until I play with them a little bit more because I'm not familiar with them see how they work and if I like them I'll leave them if not I'll just use the uh you know the standard Windows Network managing tools um Sound Blaster Cinema these are I guess I can leave those on there supercharg charger I want to leave that on there that allows me to plug up any device to uh you know one of the designated USB ports and charge quickly it works with most Android devices and all uh almost all the Apple devices that I'm aware of and windzip I do not want windzip okay it's not quite a totally automated process you have to keep clicking next on a lot of different programs but it it does run the uninstallation application that comes with all of these programs just you're going to have to babysit it just a little bit but it's much easier than going through and manually doing everything it wants me to restart and the Norton programs we could probably do a restart after this is over but it is good to restart after the Norton apps I just don't want it to restart my PC to crapp aier process so we'll restart once this is uh finished yeah let's get rid of this too oh yeah wait oh God wait but we're going to give you some stuff man no nordon you're not very good this year unless you have the corporate version or the Enterprise version no please remove all user data yes going use my own damn no what is this business business no I don't want any of your garbage agree and install wow Norton why don't you just Norton is like one of those weirdos that you go home and he's waiting in your bed for you she like ready to na know get away from me no I don't want any of this no I don't want to tell you why I just want it all gone yeah so we have 52 days remaining but now I'm making it zero days remaining because I don't want Norton if you want Norton go ahead and pay for it go out there and read some reviews first it does come with the machine and windows is like hey dude you've got like no virus protection shut up Windows I tell computer what to do computer doesn't tell me what to do all right I've removed a bunch of nordon things they all wanted me to restart but I just told it to restart later sometimes you click cancel when it says would you like to restart now just restart later after this is done we'll give it a good restart and then we're going to start installing programs it's always good to remove stuff before you install new things [Music] a windzip it like tooks me to their website look how cute like please don't do this to us the removal process is complete you can submit some feedback here like Yay you guys are awesome or something I'm just going to go ahead and click finish all right at this point I'm going to reboot but um rebooting while I'm running open broadcaster would destroy the Earth all right we're back in Windows now it's time to start making this laptop my own so you know I I I like the uh the MSI background it's a little bit red for me so I I've got to do this got a new background I'm happy oh everybody's happy now all right now let's start installing some of our own programs I need to get rid of Internet Explorer as quickly as possible it's a terrible thing to have so I'm going to go to um this one website called Nite now once you get to Nite you can download all kinds of different programs uh it's really the best place to go when you first get a new computer so here all here's all the stuff I want Chrome and I want Firefox I need Firefox for when I'm programming or doing anything serious ious and Chrome for light browsing if you want a messaging program you can get that for media um I'll get VLC there's the kite codak pack and there's also the community codak pack I typically recommend this one kite can do a good job as well but either one of these will be just fine uh this one comes with uh media player classic and I like that one but I also like VLC for other things so I'm going to get both of those you know you can get any of these run times you need uh Java I'll install that when I need it later Imaging software you know office is a trial version of course a lot of you guys are going to want want to install an open office or something like that I do not use the PDF reader from Adobe it bothers me I use foxit reader it's much faster now we can pick um an antivirus aost and AVG are both good you guys can also get you know adaware Spybot I'll get these as needed I'm not going to be using this for too long so I would not recommend either one of these if you need a torrent program do not use the newest version of um of utor it's a mess get like version 2.2.1 or an older version or get an alternate client putty can be handy online storage so you've got a lot of stuff that's uh going on here now um I'm not going to install Steam from here because I like to install it into a separate directory whenever you install things from here they all go into the default program files directory that they correspond to normally I do want szip because I did REM remove windzip szip is way better than all the other programs and for other uh utilities if you're on Windows 7 Terra copy can be very handy um you know just's a lot of stuff here launch is also handy for like Windows XP and stuff classic start I do not want classic start at all and there's a million reasons why but I'll show you that in a second let's go ahead and get this installer so what this does now is it combines all that stuff into one executable file and then it goes and downloads each one of them see now it's downloading Firefox then it's going to download Chrome and sevens up and then it will install them all into their uh default folders just you know one click and you're done I'll go ahead and grab steam now as well because I do want steam but I like to install it into my games folder and I cannot wait until Chrome is installed so I can get the hell off Internet Explorer install Steam now dude yeah let's do it you should not install multiple things at the same time like this so I'm going to just wait and install Steam after everything else is finished all right this is still doing its thing so let's go get more stuff why don't we I'm going to go ahead and grab um start is back all right just want to go to stsb back.com there it is this does cost money it's totally worth it don't argue with me it's the only start button for Windows 8 that is just like the start button on Windows 7 it integrates deeply with the system doesn't run any processes in the background um and there's a separate video on that you guys can check out that video if you like but it's far superior to all the other options there's like 30 of them out there and a lot of people argue with me but it's senseless because it is the best so so go ahead and well I'm going to wait on start is back until everything else is finished again let Nite finish before you start installing everything else but I'm just downloading things to get them ready to go all the MSI stuff I'm going to put into a separate folder for now and this all came on the computer and make my icons smaller because I like tiny icons everything's so much better yes almost done here AVG might take a moment because it is it's a um you know antivirus program and I would recommend getting adaware or ad block or something like that as well but like I said I'm only going to have this computer for a couple of days and I don't want too many things running at the same time did I forget to get C cleaner is that on there the next program I want to grab is C cleaner very important and very handy program let's go ahead and click download you can just grab it from file hippo you don't need all this fancy stuff unless you really want it but I don't need it and just go ahead and grab the latest version here on file hippo there it is that's all finished yay all right so steam wants to install I'm going to go ahead and install that before I do CA cleaner you know everything in order as soon as Steam is finished we're going to install C cleaner and I'll show you how to use that quickly and then uh that'll be the first um I guess basic guide to just what I do when I first get my computer after this I'm going to install Adobe CC and a number of other productivity programs and then some games and then it's pretty much good to go but didn't take very long and um I've already removed a lot of the bloat I'm going to go through these MSI programs um that are in this folder here later I'm overloading the machine I'm going to go through these programs later uh see which ones I want to keep I'm imagining I'll keep some of them hybri power looks pretty cool um so yeah and then that's to change the colors on this schnazzy bright extremely colorful keyboard I'll to make that something a little bit more minimal and not so multi- bright colored but yeah I'll see which ones I want to keep out of there and then it'll be mine the way I like it God you take forever man I mean you could install them at the same time but you know people online say don't and the read me files say don't and then power users and stuff that always get mad at me for doing stuff like that they say don't but I'm going to do it don't need any of that yeah start menu shortcuts um I run C cleaner on my own time and automatically check for updates I do that on my own as well you guys can check mark whichever ones you want I'm going to run C cleaner and show you how awesome this program is and what you can do with it when you first log in or when you first start C cleaner it's going to scan for all your internet cookies you want to keep those because it'll be a huge hassle to you know have to log out of everything or it's going to log you out of everything you'll have to log back in every time you use C cleaner so it's detecting all the cookies all right now A C cleaner you can use it to clean up all the crap that's on your computer all the um not the bloat Weare but it's like the temporary files and stuff that build up you can clean all those by just running C cleaner it also cleans your internet history your cache and all that go over here and you can fix problems in the registry I've just removed a bunch of things there may be some extra you know things floating around in the registry so let's go ahead and get rid of that and it will allow you to create a you know restore point so there's a lot of junk and I mean this is a new computer there's a lot of like empty missing links so let's go ahead and fix all those you know all those things I always create a registry backup shouldn't take very long cuz it's new machine I'll just save it in the documents and that's good you can name the file whatever you like fix all the issues all right fixed all those issues let's go down here and take a look at tools um this is a better way to uninstall your programs than using the uh Windows option uninstall whatever you like so I'll be going through and uninstalling a few more things I think startup this is all the junk that starts with your machine like I don't need steam to start I want to tell steam when I want it to start so I'm going to disable that you can also delete them entirely right click and delete but I just usually disable them until I I'm sure that I want it gone uh AVG that's my antivirus I want that to start and Intel yeah I'm going to let this stuff start Microsoft what is this business system 32 I'm going to leave that alone if you're not sure what it is leave it alone uh radio manager from MSI I'm going to leave that until I'm sure exactly what it does then maybe I can get rid of it sound blaster Cinema again I'm going to leave that one until I'm sure what it is I don't think I need it to start with the computer though it's nice that there's a sound blaster in this that's pretty cool so there's not a lot of crap going on I removed most of it but again I'm going to go through and see what all these are and then let only the ones uh you know that I need to start with the computer start with the computer all the rest of it I can open on my own and um it'll be faster it'll start faster so that's a quick overview of a c cleaner keeping everything nice and clean I think we've done quite a lot like I said the next step is to start installing some productivity software like Adobe CC oh start is back holy mother of everything holy grab a copy it'll make you happy I've already paid for it you get five uh installations when you pay like just a few dollars I think it's three or four dollars I don't know what it is buy it let's see it's five bucks five installations or five PCS hey there's my start button look at that yes I'm going to configure it why not I like that one now when you go into switching there's a totally separate video in this so go click on the screen and see the separate video I got rid of my charms look no more charms that are coming up on Windows 8 it's it's so nice and let's make this 20 this are just the quick things that I do I want my downloads don't care about that I want Network on there I don't care about recorded TV but I do want uh start apps I don't even care videos and then I want uh small icons so I'm going to uncheck use large icons cuz I like small icons okay and there we have everything look at that I'm very happy it's now my machine I can start doing stuff with it if you guys have questions always post them on the Forum and be sure to check out all the other videos you know like installing starters back and and whatnot I'm leaving now you guys are just uh hanging out if you're still here can't believe you watch this much of it hopefully this will keep you uh running fast and hopefully it'll help you out when you get a new uh new laptop and again this works with any laptop on in the world except for probably the one you have [Music]
