[Windows] Windows 10 Fresh Install Questions

I recently purchased this Dell laptop and received it this week. I would like to do a fresh Windows installation on the SSD but I have some questions concerning this action.

Is the Rest Windows option that is offered with Windows 10 an actual fresh install? Will the bloatware be removed or will it just return it to factory settings? If this is not truly a fresh install, what method would one use to achieve this in a Windows 10 based desktop/laptop?

Are some of the applications that appear on this just default Windows applications now? Like I am assuming I will still have the Office suite on here but what about the Dell programs, McAfee, pre installed games (ex. Bubble Witch 3 Saga), etc. I am trying to get rid of all this so I can use the laptop the way I want to. Will reset actually do this or do I need to look at another option?

TIA

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
