    Hi everybody,

    I just got my dell 1464 i3 today. Should I do the Win 7 installation? Would it help my laptop boot faster?

    Can I use the Reinstall Win 7 DVD that come with the box to install clean Win 7? I'm just afraid the DVD already have bloatware on it.

    Thanks

    The DVD won't have any bloatware on it. AFAIK. My CD for my Latitude, didn't have any bloatware on it.

    And yes, I think you should do a clean install, remove all the crap that came pre-installed.
