Another way is download Windows 10 onto a DvD and install it without Dell’s factory software.

Microsoft will still assign your pc to the “Group” of Dell allowing them to push software to you if they wanted.

Interesting RivetNetworks is a LLC ran by a guy and his wife in Texas. Shame on Dell for signing a contract with them to cripple PC’s communications.

Rivet Networks comes with Killer networking software that can be chosen when ordering the computer. Any software you don't want should be uninstalled in the Apps and Features List on the Start Menu. or in the case of Smart byte, using the special instructions above.
