Looking to buy a new PC. I just have a few questions about PCs from DS. When I recieve the PC, is it updated with all the latest drive updates, windows updates, etc.? Is it loaded with random software like I'd get from an HP, Dell, or any other PC I'd get at BestBuy?

I got my DS desktop before windows 10 came out but the only software was windows 7 and a few benchmarking programs. My BIOS was updated to the latest version and the drivers were updated as well. I did not have random software or any bloatware on my pc.

Unless something has changed drastically since I bought my 2nd DS rig, you'll have no bloatware whatsoever. You may have a code for McAfee or something like that, but it's just that, a code - nothing comes installed. |

I am pretty sure I had to do all of the Windows updates, but there was no bloatware at all.

Depending on what hardware you picked during configuration, you might get software to control it. My config came with Corsair Link in order to control the AIO.

Absolutely not. Sleek, fast, and ready to play. The hardest thing is making sure you get your antivirus first before you start playing games. |
