Recently I was given a rather nice HP Pavilion laptop and re-installed a clean W10 system. It works very well, but I have discovered that while I can shut up the uninvited stuff, it is most difficult to remove it permanently. The usual well-known hacks through gpedit, registry or powershell do not remove the offending bits completely and the binaries are found not to have been loaded in to the usual places.

My question is: Is there some cunning means of W10 being set up in varying modes dependent upon the platform in use - specifically laptops?]]>

So I will have to get new one with touch and swipe screen which I'm not a fan of.  The old has a keyboard, not used much but the buttons and other controls are which I will miss.

Have to do it as to me the Kindle is simply the best for reading for so many reasons.  The old friend has been so reliable and easy.  Guess I will miss it until I get used to a modern device.
