What other things should I look for to strip[ off it?
Thanks

What type of computer is it? HP? Dell?
You can contact them and get a set of the original disks, usually for free. Make sure you register it for the warranty.
The computer makers put a lot of crap on there, like Norton, all sorts of other un-needed stuff like AOHell and so on that you do not need.
Just make sure that the first thing you do once on the internet is update your virus protection program. Then get Mal-Ware Bytes for mal ware!
